Amazing. Simple idea in retrospect, but I didn't think of it. And it may be more likely to save lives than the original.

@NanoRaptor I wonder how long until someone who doesn't peek at this reply realizes this is basically the nuclear waste message but inverted and expanded

@krutonium Maybe I'm late to the party, but I got it before opening the post to read the replies.

@thatmanmatt @NanoRaptor IIRC it was Terry Pratchett who wrote:

Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

People be like:
Nah, that's what $xyzzy would say to keep us away

Great text, thanks!

The other day I saw a video on extremely-long-term warnings for the nuclear waste isolation pilot site in the US, and this text reminded me of it. And indeed, this text seems to be based on the other one, flipping it into positive. That's a nice idea!

@tynstar @NanoRaptor it's well meant, but no one ever reads the docs in my experience. Trying to get them to do it once you're long dead seems incredibly futile.

@NanoRaptor I have been fascinated by the original warning message and the other associated warning ideas since I first read about them decades ago. In all that time, I think this is my favorite interpretation.
