      Sure, but what if there’s a fire!? My favorite game is Ocarina of Time. I don’t want to risk losing it, so I memorized the binary digits that comprise the code. Can’t be too careful!

        Hope you keep your brain safe. Even then illness can easily rob you of those memories.

          Fully agree. This is why I’ve made multiple children. Then I train them on the binary digits the way other parents teach shapes, numbers, and the ABCs. Can’t be too careful, it’s best to have multiple backups

            I suspect corrosion-resistant steel alloys haven’t been around long enough to prove themselves in that regard XD

              I can already see them rusting down by the harbour. Meanwhile people still find bits of ceramics left from ages last on the beaches.

              So if you bury your clay tablets in a treasure chest it should be good.

              Corrosion-resistent is not the same as non-corrosive.

              I suppose gold as a noble metal would be stable over a long period, as it’s non-reactive. But certain kinds of acids can still dissolve it, unlike ceramic
