I plan to live forever, of course, but barring that I'd settle for a couple thousand years. Even 500 would be pretty nice.
I found out about this online museum called "The Bureau of Suspended Objects" from Jenny Odell's book "How to Do Nothing". As she describes in the book:

quote:

I spent three months photographing, cataloging, and researching the origins of two hundred discarded objects. I presented them as a browsable archive in which people could scan a handmade tag next to each object and learn about its manufacturing, material, and corporate history.

I like Item 185, "Summer 1968 Disneyland Ticketbook". Under the "Use" section, it describes some old Disneyland rides including Tomorrowland, which apparently had some banging music they played on the waiting platform.

That's wild to imagine climate change would affect home runs, definitely worthy of an Ig Nobel.
