I really like imagining how people of the future (like hundreds of years in the future) looking at our current culture and technology will try to interpret things that I seem to get without thinking. Like, if they dug up my home and found this thing sitting in a drawer what kind of wild theories would they come up before they eventually realized, "This human valued something that actually did less than nothing."

I mean, usually when archeologists don't understand a device they just end up chucking it in the "religious device" bin. Not that would exactly be wrong here, but you know.

This honestly made me chuckle even more, thanks for that.
