trash legacy

We will be remembered by our garbage. Just like the discarded spear heads and bone tools of our ancestors. Although their garbage seems rustic, where as ours will seem gaudy.

After the human race fades away. Beings evolved from ants and/or roaches will be sifting through the mounds of waste dumped in holes by us. They'll wonder what use we found in petroleum jelly, blobs of silicone, and two rows of three plastic rings connected to each other. I wonder if any seeds will survive in our petrified feces, so they can surmise what our diet consisted of. What will they think the purpose of those little plastic doohickeys that keep the cheese from touching the top of the pizza box were used for?

Hopefully they will discover a used condom that was dropped in a pool of tar, and an ambulance that sank into a permafrost pit. They extract the male DNA from the rubber, and discover a preserved egg that the ambulance was transporting. Then they start making humans and study them in an enclosed habitat, secluded away from the general antoid population.

Museums with our fossilized skeletons on display. Remains of a polyester suit restored. Exhibits of fillings and gold teeth. The history of humanity's insulation. The treasures of the Staten Island Mounds.

I would love for this database to survive somehow. Actually just my journal. Decifering the human language and distributing my memoirs as an example of a typical human's thoughts and daily activities. The spanklin colonies. Brilliant.
