Ask Lemmy

They may not remember us by our names, but they'll be able to see the effects of the choices we made.

ngl I don't know if the earth will even be inhabitable in 600 years

No.

Because history remembers people or groups who have made astounding and monumental moments that change the course of history.

They aren't going to remember a dude who spent most of their time jerking off and doing the average lifestyle.

And why 600 years?

I will write a blog complaining about copper prices. If my sources are correct I will be remembered forever.

No.

Depends how big you fuck up.

They will if I eat the Mona Lisa

Few people left who remember me now already

I'll be forgotten once me, my wife, my family and my few friends die, so left say nobody will know me or my accomplishments 50 years from now, tops.

How many people do you know who were alive 600 years ago?

I don't want to brag, but I've made a meme or two that got dozens of up votes. It's basically immortality. I'm sure there will be statues and monuments of me by then.

I don't really want to be remembered for generations, if I am that means that statistically I was a bastard

yes, but only the biggest brightest bonfires.

will charlie kirk be known? nah. will Donald Trump be known? absolutely.

the bigger the bonfire, the more damaging it is to society.

If someone actually assassinated 47. They may last that long in history teachings.

I mean, I'm sure you can name a half dozen or so people from the 1400s. I highly doubt anyone will remember me personally as one of those half dozen people, but I'm fairly certain that with the advances in technology the average people of the year 2625 will be dimly aware of closer to a dozen people alive today.

Not me.

But from this echo chamber, it surely seems like the current us president will live in infamy. Think about online debates over who was worst president ever: now it’s clear. And if he truly is accelerating the fall of the American century, then yes, he’ll be taught about ins cho for centuries to come

Relative to a normal life, nobody knows me now... and with where and how I live that likely won't change.

So definitely not, aside from the unlikely event I could get my head preserved (likely questionable testing). Then again I know in all likelihood that wouldn't work, so I'm not sure getting a mention in some niche Wikipedia article would be the same as being remembered.

No.

Remember in what capacity? I don't think any of our (users in this thread) names will be a part of conversation or on anyone's mind in any meaningful capacity. I do believe that digital storage is getting better and that our names and information about us will still probably exist somewhere in 600 years. So maybe somewhere someone might see your name. But that's very different than "remembering", you know?

People might be if you eat the Mona Lisa.

We'll be all just data left. Unless someone really bored finds something amusing about certain data entry about somebody, no not really.

If someone is immortal they would.

The people of nepal, probably. Remembered as a collective

Someone will be remembered. It's very unlikely to be me, unless human lifespans get a lot longer, which TBF they probably will.

Gorbachev will probably still be famous at some point after 3025, let alone 2625, although he might be forgotten and then popularised in between.

The vast, vast majority of people are forgotten within 100 years. Pretty much need to be in an extremely high position where records are kept, like presidents, or do something extraordinarily positive or negative.

I strongly doubt anyone reading this post will be remembered after the people they met or interacted with directly have died.
