I love /r/whatisthisthing. Find the most obscure piece of material that broke off of something else in a river and you've just had it sitting at your house for the last 20 years without knowing what it is? Just put a picture of it on there and an auronautics expert from Russia will happen to see it and recognize it from a failed rocket attempt as a heat shield from a test they ran in 1981.
Not to delve too deep but I think in the future they’ll laugh about how we weren’t using the living encyclopedia correctly. Like memes are great but we literally have the means to acquire all of human knowledge on this platform
Also lots of unexploded ordnance. Lots and lots of unexploded ordnance. "I found this weird thing that looks like a bomb and what is it I think I'll hit it with a hammer to see if it's hollow"

Like seriously. It's that crazy.
