In an alternate reality:

Janitor at university. Found locked military case in river. Coworker says FIM-92 Stinger missile. Heavy. Maybe water, maybe live missile. Call police. Military and EOD arrive. Entire campus locked down. Half of workers taken for questioning. EOD open it -- full of some idiot's clothes and books.

New grudge unlocked.

Or better yet, they decide to just blow it up to be safe.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 17 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Imagine if it was full of adult toys. That would be something to talk about.

[–] Natanael@infosec.pub 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

And they blow it up. Turns out OP did give a flying f***

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 weeks ago (14 children)

You can say "fuck", here. See?

Of course it's company policy never to, imply ownership in the event of a dildo... always use the indefinite article a dildo, never your dildo.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ownership of dildos must be normalized. In fact, I want to propose making mandatory to receive one upon becoming of legal age at your country of birth. Upon entering a new job? Complementary dildo. Entering the military? Camouflage pattern, G.I. Dildo. Graduating? Dildo. College? Dildo. Masters? XL Dildo. Doctorate? Epic Dildo. Getting engaged? Matching dildos.

G.I. Diljoe?

EOD don't open shit most of the time suspicious potentially unstable shit just gets a bit of c4 or anfo and a send off in place. It's one of the perks to just say dunno and light it the fuck up.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

And their name in it...

[–] Kualdir@feddit.nl 78 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This to save 100$, he's so real for that

[–] Tiger@sh.itjust.works 68 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Can reuse it every summer? Multiple years of savings.

[–] Kualdir@feddit.nl 25 points 2 weeks ago

Omg yeah I did not think about that I feel dumb now thanks

Reminds me of when I made weekly trips to Denver for work. This was when recreational weed first came out. First day there I bought a glass pipe and a plastic container.

When I flew back home on Thursday I would bury the bowl in the plastic container behind the hotel I stayed at. On Mondays after I flew back to Denver I would dig up the bowl. Beats buying a new one every week or trying to fly with it.

After many weeks of this routine I didn’t find out until Thursday afternoon that this was my last trip and I wouldn’t be returning.

Some where out in Colorado Springs there is a weed bowl buried in the dirt. I wonder if anyone ever stumbled across it.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

You could return to find out what happened to your weed.

Dude just reinvented buried treasure

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 49 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah, and this is going to be a great hidden treasure in a post-nuclear wasteland world. Imagine doing a quest to find this treasure, and once you find it, you get nice pre-war clothes and a physics book that will give you +1 attribute to your science skill for reading it.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 16 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Little disappointing given what the box looked like though

[–] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah I'd much prefer a stinger missile

[–] wieson@feddit.org 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

With the right physics book, this could turn into a "teach a man how to fish" situation

Really? the battery coolant module is long expired and there are no aircraft to down in the wasteland lol

That definitely explains the random loot, tho

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

imagine opening one and finding a stinger... but the coolant's expired and there are no aircraft to down in the wasteland lol

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 30 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Actually privately own storage room still cost about 100 € for summer storage today and that's with inflation.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 39 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah but can you chuck it in the river?

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 20 points 2 weeks ago

No, and I'm very envious of this nice case.

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

International students often use it because it's not feasible to take their stuff home over the summer. I also used Summer storage, because I was estranged from my family, so didn't have a "home" to go back to and would have to spend the Summer in sublets or couch-surfing (the only accommodation that would accept me as a tenant were student properties, which is why I typically had to be out over the Summer).

[–] AshLassay@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

So students in the US who live in dorms need to move out during summers even if they come back the next semester? That’s crazy.

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My experience is actually in the UK, but based on anecdotes from friends, it's similar in the US.

In my case, in one of the years, I could apply to stay in university accommodation over the Summer, but the room I was allocated for that was tiny, so I needed to get some storage anyway. It's annoying as hell

Rich kids who don't feel like taking stuff home for the summer.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 60 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

or the opposite - kids who can't transfer all of their things at once for a reasonable amount of money

when i studied at a UK uni i couldn't really afford shipping all my pots, pans, sheets, and books back and forth from Poland every year

A rich kid would toss it all in a dumpster and buy new shit in the fall.

[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

I ain't dragging 2 carloads of pots, pans, desks, and clothes back home for 3 months when I know I'll be living in probably the same dorm again very soon. A waste of gas, time, and money.

When I was in college I just stayed in the same dorm and worked. If I had to remove shit I'd have done similar to OP, minus the cool case

[–] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It can cost more to bring stuff home and back tbh depending on your method of travel, you can’t leave your stuff at university, and a lot of people live in on-campus housing which shuts down all summer.

It can be way cheaper to find cheap storage facilities (or a local friend and pay them). It’s not just for lazy rich kids.

[–] BorgDrone@lemmy.one 4 points 2 weeks ago

Why would you need to take your stuff home?

Why would you ever sell something this damn cool

[–] Tillman@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago

A high school friend put his Neo geo collection in one of those which was a proclamation of wealth I was unprepared for.

[–] Dogyote@slrpnk.net 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The river was the best option?

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

The coolest, definitely

[–] clonedhuman@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

I appreciate the commitment to saving $100.

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'd paint over it, just in case someone thinks it might have explosives in it and panics.

[–] drzoidberg@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I had something similar from a flea market surplus shop when I was in HS and kept it in the bed of my Tacoma to hold tools. It was cool as hell with its desert camo paint and dings and stuff. Well, after 9/11 I became popular with the cops cause I'd get pulled over, and told to stand by the hood of my car with both hands on it, while they checked it.

After about the 5th time, I sold it and bought a bed box.

I need to look more at milsup storage containers.

Them: What's in your GI footlocker case?
Me: Boots, floggers, and condoms, just like originally intended
