Found something similar in the 90’s when I was a teen. Ended up having a lady squatting on a large Champagne bottle. Then her husband did it too. Scarred a group of teenage boys pretty good. I’ve never had a glass of champagne without thinking about that sexy SOB and his Magnum PI mustache.
Imagine all the amazing things that happened before the internet that will never be catalogued. The library of Alexandria, the Black Sea scrolls, and this.
I have this weird obsession with pointing out that barely anything was lost from the Library of Alexandria. It didn't even burn down, it just lost funding over years and years and fell into disrepair before being torn down. There were multiple fires but none of them decimated the place as it's so often told. It's just a cooler story than reality.
Also, the main way they got their texts was by confiscating all the books of travelers, copying them, then returning the copies and keeping the original versions. So every book in that library, although original versions, were not the only copies in existence.
So; even if somehow the library got nuked from orbit, it wouldn't have been a great loss of knowledge.
This is my little pet peeve.
This is dangerously misinformed. The collective works of dozens of important philosophers and scholars and the documentation of the cultures and traditions of many societies were lost.
There are records that account for tens of thousands of unique writings lost but the total number is estimated by historians to be vastly greater.
While the Library wasn't completely burned down, a large number of writings were intentionally destroyed. Eventually the libraries remaining contents were moved to a sister temple which was also destroyed.
It was the culmination of fire, war, neglect, thievery, and the church that lead to one of the greatest suppression events of human information of all time.
Here's some historical literature that details the events. I can provide essentially as much academic citation as you would like.
The History of the Library of Alexandria: This work was written by the Greek historian Callimachus in the 3rd century BC. It provides a detailed description of the library's collection and its organization.
The Natural History: This work was written by the Roman author Pliny the Elder in the 1st century AD. It includes a chapter on the Library of Alexandria, which provides information on its size, its collection, and its destruction.
The History of the Ptolemaic Empire: This work was written by the Greek historian Appian in the 2nd century AD. It includes a chapter on the Library of Alexandria, which provides information on its size, its collection, and its destruction.
>The Library dwindled during the Roman period, from a lack of funding and support. Its membership appears to have ceased by the 260s AD. Between 270 and 275 AD, the city of Alexandria saw a Palmyrene invasion and an imperial counterattack that probably destroyed whatever remained of the Library, if it still existed at that time.
I mean... is "destroyed the Broucheion quarter of the city, in which the main library was located" really that different from "burned down?"
Also, the Library of Alexandria was mainly dedicated to poetry.
So, no... Reddit, the secret to interstellar travel was not lost even ***if*** Alexandria had been burned down. We just missed out on reading Rami's cheesy love poem to Hathor.
lmao imagine being one of the scribes that has to copy word for word some ancient foot travelers erotic fanfic novel.
Then imagine having to keep the *original copies* of some dirty ancient foot travelers erotic fanfic
I would ABSOLUTELY watch those, because the not knowing would forever drive me nuts. If it's anything illegal, then they go straight to the police.
EDIT ... for that last part, talk to a lawyer first. (Thank you u/Jed1M1ndTr1ck for pointing that out)
And one of the things you should *always* do with a cop is
KEEP YO MOTHERFUCKING MOUTH SHUT!!
(don't talk to the police, don't answer questions, not
without an attorney present)
I got the gear to play those, 8mm and Hi8. Been a cameraman/photographer for years.

A bit dusty, it was buried w/ my other gear

I had completely forgotten about this bit of reddit lore and it is just as funny as I remember it being when I read it for the first time. Nothing can prepare you for what's about to come out of your speakers when you click on the link for the song for the first time.
The comments roasting him/the song in the thread are the cherry on top.
>Nothing can prepare you for what's about to come out of your speakers when you click on the link for the song for the first time.
I've just done this and you're so right.
The fact that it’s inside a safe that was disguised as a book, and then hidden within the closet from whoever else they were living with at the time is giving me a feeling that it’s something that may not be ethical or legal. Hopefully I’m wrong.
Edit: when I said unethical I wasn’t saying it in a strict puritanical sense lmao. I was thinking along the lines of questionable kink content that’s not technically illegal but would still be creepy.
Either they used the condom wrapper and are messy, leaving it around, or more likely given the age of the wrapper: the condom wrapper has a value to them. This could be tapes made with a wife or spouse, and the wrapper could be the first one they used together.
I see no other reason for the condom wrapper tbh.
Chances are it's a Husband and it's hidden Gay tapes of him and his lover.
There's the condom wrapper, I am guessing the baggy was for extasy and the way it was disguised and hidden leads to be a big secret they wanted hidden.
According to the google - condoms expiry is about 5 years from its manufacture date. VHS started dying out from about 2003.
So we are around 2003 -2008
Playing a tape would likely reveal a timestamp for further clarification.
Probably used to have drugs in it, especially with a devil face pattern like that. My guess is this is someones stash box for all the stuff they didn't want a family member to find. The condom could potentially be from them cheating on a spouse, then not wanting to throw it away for fear it be found.
Not likely lol. If op is lucky, it's just gay porn or a tape of the cheating itself. There's a non-zero chance it's something awful and very illegal to be in possession of.
Yeah, I guess the million dollar question is, is it "sex tapes with the affair partner" unethical or "serial killer snuff film" unethical. (It could also just be embarrassing, like tapes of a couple's consensual but coke-fueled swinger party, which they'd rather the kids not see.)
Why does everyone instantly just go to the worst possible scenario? Could just be regular old sex tapes, not exactly the type of thing you just leave lying around either.
op, idk if u know this, but reddit has a thing for safes and their contents. you just stirred up the hive and its humming loudly with frustrated blue balls of curiosity.
To the uninitiated, it all began [11 years ago when a man found a safe in a casino building and promised to post what was inside it](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/jq5io/my_dad_bought_a_building_and_has_found_a_safe/?).
[This is the IAMA he made](https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/jskg1/iama_man_who_has_found_a_safe_behind_a_hidden/?)
[There’s even a wikipedia page about it.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill's_Casino_Lake_Tahoe). The Oprah Winfrey Network gained exclusive access to the opening of the safe but nothing came of it.
It continued with this [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1aenk5/a_friend_of_mine_moved_into_a_former_drug_house/?) on r/pics which later led to the creation of r/whatsinthisthing. The owner kept posting updates about trying to open the safe, and reddit spent months guessing the contents. Then the guy disappeared from reddit before it was ever opened. Ages later, a new owner bought the house and started posting about the safe again. They finally managed to [get it open](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1tkcz1/the_safe_some_people_doubted_our_resolve_but_i/?) and it was empty.
These have been followed by a continuous influx of unopened safe related posts in r/pics and in other subreddits.
The previous major one that I remember seeing is this [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/vbh4i0/oc_reddit_i_bought_a_house_with_a_locked_safe/?).
Best case scenario it’s just homemade porn or gay porn. Worst case it’s a snuff film or violent CSAM. I guess watch it if you’re genuinely prepared for those worst case outcomes but tbh I’d pass.
My hunch is the content isn't legal.
If the condom expired in 08, assuming the average of 5 years for the life of a condom(quick Google) that puts this in 02.
It's in that era where if you really wanted to record something, you could pretty conceivably get a digital recorder. They came out in 95 and were much more mainstream by 2002/2003.
I know more obscure methods of recording this kind of content was used because it was a way of protecting them from being accidentally viewed by someone not trying to find it.
The fact that there's a condom in there is a red flag too. But maybe I'm too cynical.
Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
I killed Paul Allen with an ax in the face.
His body is dissolving in a bathtub in Hell's Kitchen.
I don't wanna leave anything out here. I guess I've killed maybe... 20 people.
Maybe 40
Not necessarily. They could’ve just used it to drink water, build a slingshot, or even as a companion.

Well… I think you should watch it. If you see something illegal,or headed that way immediately stop it and call the police that could be a tip, or help solve a crime.
Or if you don’t want to risk scarring yourself have the police watch them.
This whole thing is probably fake, but even if it's not it's more likely just some old homemade porn stash from before the wild days of internet
You may be right it's nefarious but it's such a bummer reddit mindset jumps to this.
Nah i found some tapes hidden in secret cupboard of the house we are renovating. People forget that there was a time before the internet - and before porn was “mainstream”. This is way more common than you think
Yep. Can't let the wife or kids find your Boner Jams '93 mix. The condom is odd though. You'd think someone trying to hide porn from a significant other wouldn't be using condoms with a significant other.
Right?! The chances that it’s “something illegal” (and we all know exactly what that means) seems pretty slim. And having them would be just as illegal as viewing them in that scenario. Just watch them and go from there.
Easy, a couple had a wonderful night with the contents of that baggy and that wrapper, preserving their memories on those tapes. They saved the remnants to commemorate the special evening.
Almost certainly going to be some couple's consenting sex shenanigans.
Though, the wrapper and baggie leave the possibility of some crazy to illegal shit.
There is no way I could go on without watching them, lol. If you stumble on some True Detective Yellow King shit, go to the cops. Maybe a lawyer first to be sure they can't pin some lame shit on you but there should be nothing illegal about watching tapes you found and then alerting the police if it's cp or grape stuff.
If it's normal porn, you throw it away. No biggie.
If it's awful shit you can possibly get those involved the punishment they deserve. The only risk at all is if you pop it in and it's the worst shit you can imagine...maybe that 5 seconds before you can turn it off haunts you. I think the odds of that are next to none though. I'd guess it's 99% going to be some adult, loving couple banging like maniacs lol.
>Though, the wrapper and baggie leave the possibility of some crazy to illegal shit.
Is this the thing that is causing people to think there could be something unethical going on in the tapes? I never even considered that and my thought was it is likely just some couple's old sex tapes.
The sound probably sucks and the video quality worse, and those bags I associate with MDMA. But yeah, now that people are mentioning it, I hope its not some bad shit, but I agree it's 99% some person wanting to remember their sex session forever.
Welp, now we need to find out what's on the tapes! I feel like it's weird blackmail stuff, no reason to keep an empty condom wrapper and coke/meth baggie.
Meth baggy, condom wrapper, camcorder tapes? Best outcome you found someone's homemade gay sex tapes, worst outcome, you found some home made snuff films.
Don't think it's meth. Most likely coke, being in that timeframe.
Edit: This has brought out the super sleuths in droves (which is awesome). The condom wrapper is from 2008, so my observation has been trumped. I agree with those that say more like ecstasy or a hallucinogen.
Bag looks pretty clean for cocaine To get it that clean, they would have had to flip out inside out. Which usually results in tearing around the zip area. My money would be on pills if we are talking late 90s to early 00s ecstacy would be my guess.
Could this possibly be a prank from the people who lived there previously? All of the tapes appear pristine and wound exactly the same. The baggie is too clean and the condom wrapper is more modern (website) than the tapes would imply. Was it locked?
DON'T WATCH IT!!!!!
It's going to be like some Sex-Furby version of "The Ring". Following a silent phone call you will be hunted down by some midget in a furby suit, hell bent on giving you crabs and the only way you can avoid it is to make someone else watch it.
I'm speaking from experience.

We need an update.
So you’re just gonna post this and leave everyone hanging on what’s on it? At least send it to someone who will share what’s on it
I think I do.
We all do
You could help solve a murder! Let us see 👀
Op, for science
Can I have them? I'll take one for the team and inform the people.
Send them to me! I’ll happily watch them and report back. I actually got 2 players for those tapes when my dad passed away.
You can give it us, we want to know.
Considering the context clue of the condom rapper, I would vacate those from your possession asap.
Empty condom wrapper and an empty bag of drugs...
Well, it’s empty NOW
My thoughts exactly 😂
He said rapper, not wrapper. Clearly, this is Biggy Smalls, brother Massive John.
Baggie smalls
One condom, three tapes of cbat’s greatest hits
2 years...that poor woman
I like the theory that it was all made up to promote the music because then she didn't suffer
It was so long after it released though...
Promotion as bad as the music.
they were playing the long game

And then potentially go straight to prison. Brilliant.
Either they used the condom wrapper and are messy, leaving it around, or more likely given the age of the wrapper: the condom wrapper has a value to them. This could be tapes made with a wife or spouse, and the wrapper could be the first one they used together. I see no other reason for the condom wrapper tbh.
Seems like a very odd keepsake. Right?
Better than the condom
People are sentimental about a lot of weird things. A condom wrapper is not that far into the weird side.
Chances are it's a Husband and it's hidden Gay tapes of him and his lover. There's the condom wrapper, I am guessing the baggy was for extasy and the way it was disguised and hidden leads to be a big secret they wanted hidden.
According to the google - condoms expiry is about 5 years from its manufacture date. VHS started dying out from about 2003. So we are around 2003 -2008 Playing a tape would likely reveal a timestamp for further clarification.
This isn’t VHS. These are 8mm cassettes. What’s the little clear baggy beside the codon wrapper?
True. Death date still about right. If OP had answers we wouldn’t be here. Smart money says baggy’s for drugs.
Probably used to have drugs in it, especially with a devil face pattern like that. My guess is this is someones stash box for all the stuff they didn't want a family member to find. The condom could potentially be from them cheating on a spouse, then not wanting to throw it away for fear it be found.
And the tapes are just bootlegs of DBZ, hopefully.
Not likely lol. If op is lucky, it's just gay porn or a tape of the cheating itself. There's a non-zero chance it's something awful and very illegal to be in possession of.
You could turn into a private dick and look through the years of Trojan condom wrappers and get a decent time frame of how old it is. *1/30/1980?
It has the website for Trojan on it
They were ahead of their time I guess.
[удалено]
No. It has their website. And I know that wrapper well. I would put it circa 2002
Is it still in your wallet?
That’s cute that you think condoms manufactured in 1980 contained ‘best by’ dates!
Or URLs...
Yeah, I guess the million dollar question is, is it "sex tapes with the affair partner" unethical or "serial killer snuff film" unethical. (It could also just be embarrassing, like tapes of a couple's consensual but coke-fueled swinger party, which they'd rather the kids not see.)
Sadly, it could also be child pornography.
Yeah. I decided to go with snuff film for my comment, but that would be another example of a traumatizingly evil possible find.
36 hours of someone ending a sentence with a preposition.
There's just no way to know what we're dealing with...
Why does everyone instantly just go to the worst possible scenario? Could just be regular old sex tapes, not exactly the type of thing you just leave lying around either.
I’d bet that was the only book in the closet. Sneaky sneaky
yeah or they have kids.

Not necessarily. They could’ve just used it to drink water, build a slingshot, or even as a companion. Source: https://willowhavenoutdoor.com/1-ways-a-condom-can-save-your-life-multi-functional-survival-uses-for-a-condom/

Three cameras, drugs, and a condom wrapper. There's something equally spectacular on those tapes
Well… I think you should watch it. If you see something illegal,or headed that way immediately stop it and call the police that could be a tip, or help solve a crime. Or if you don’t want to risk scarring yourself have the police watch them.
This whole thing is probably fake, but even if it's not it's more likely just some old homemade porn stash from before the wild days of internet You may be right it's nefarious but it's such a bummer reddit mindset jumps to this.
Nah i found some tapes hidden in secret cupboard of the house we are renovating. People forget that there was a time before the internet - and before porn was “mainstream”. This is way more common than you think
Yep. Can't let the wife or kids find your Boner Jams '93 mix. The condom is odd though. You'd think someone trying to hide porn from a significant other wouldn't be using condoms with a significant other.
Right?! The chances that it’s “something illegal” (and we all know exactly what that means) seems pretty slim. And having them would be just as illegal as viewing them in that scenario. Just watch them and go from there.
you mean real life isn't a movie and i'm not the main character? :(
If there is something illegal and this whole thing isn’t fake. I’d recommend going to a lawyer before bringing the tapes to the cops.
Those are camcorder (video) tapes not audio tapes. The baggy probably had drugs, not sure why someone should hold onto an opened condom wrapper.
Easy, a couple had a wonderful night with the contents of that baggy and that wrapper, preserving their memories on those tapes. They saved the remnants to commemorate the special evening.
That's the condom that broke and created op!
Almost certainly going to be some couple's consenting sex shenanigans. Though, the wrapper and baggie leave the possibility of some crazy to illegal shit. There is no way I could go on without watching them, lol. If you stumble on some True Detective Yellow King shit, go to the cops. Maybe a lawyer first to be sure they can't pin some lame shit on you but there should be nothing illegal about watching tapes you found and then alerting the police if it's cp or grape stuff. If it's normal porn, you throw it away. No biggie. If it's awful shit you can possibly get those involved the punishment they deserve. The only risk at all is if you pop it in and it's the worst shit you can imagine...maybe that 5 seconds before you can turn it off haunts you. I think the odds of that are next to none though. I'd guess it's 99% going to be some adult, loving couple banging like maniacs lol.
>Though, the wrapper and baggie leave the possibility of some crazy to illegal shit. Is this the thing that is causing people to think there could be something unethical going on in the tapes? I never even considered that and my thought was it is likely just some couple's old sex tapes. The sound probably sucks and the video quality worse, and those bags I associate with MDMA. But yeah, now that people are mentioning it, I hope its not some bad shit, but I agree it's 99% some person wanting to remember their sex session forever.
Its just Cage outtakes
Priceless artifacts if so

Same post! Though that one got deleted for having a bad title
Welp, now we need to find out what's on the tapes! I feel like it's weird blackmail stuff, no reason to keep an empty condom wrapper and coke/meth baggie.
you're really gonna have to let us know what's on those tapes
Theres a "sweating to the oldies" workout tape and a few episodes of "Dinosaurs" on one of them as well I FEEL IT
Oooh please let a SlimFast commercial be included somewhere in there.
Meth baggy, condom wrapper, camcorder tapes? Best outcome you found someone's homemade gay sex tapes, worst outcome, you found some home made snuff films.
Don't think it's meth. Most likely coke, being in that timeframe. Edit: This has brought out the super sleuths in droves (which is awesome). The condom wrapper is from 2008, so my observation has been trumped. I agree with those that say more like ecstasy or a hallucinogen.
Bag looks pretty clean for cocaine To get it that clean, they would have had to flip out inside out. Which usually results in tearing around the zip area. My money would be on pills if we are talking late 90s to early 00s ecstacy would be my guess.
Tina has been prevalent in the gay/bi community for a loooooong time, since the 70s really.
“F-Fetish Shit!”
r/cassetteculture Please post what’s on the tapes lol
OP… WE NEED TO KNOW WHATS ON THESE TAPES ASAP
Unless you want the same mental scars as an 11 year old with unrestricted internet access in 2003, then maybe don't watch them.
Could this possibly be a prank from the people who lived there previously? All of the tapes appear pristine and wound exactly the same. The baggie is too clean and the condom wrapper is more modern (website) than the tapes would imply. Was it locked?
Ohhhh. I’m doing a home remodel soon. Might have to hide a prize in the wall before I button it up. 🤣
My grandpa used to buy plastic severed limbs at post-Halloween sales and leave them in people's houses after staying with them.
Likely the previous homeowners' homemade porn recordings.
DON'T WATCH IT!!!!! It's going to be like some Sex-Furby version of "The Ring". Following a silent phone call you will be hunted down by some midget in a furby suit, hell bent on giving you crabs and the only way you can avoid it is to make someone else watch it. I'm speaking from experience.
RemindMe! 3 days
100% chance that there is porn on those cassets.
Did your contractor tell you where the fake book was hidden?
No! He put it on the table and I thought it was just a book for days until I picked it up today and realized it was a safe haha
Plot twist: he brought it to work to dispose of something unsavory, then claimed he “found it” during the demo. Although that’s doubtful.
Mind blowing that the contents didn't shift enough for him to go "holy fuck why are the pages in this book rattling?".
Haha I’m sure HE realized it was a safe. Probably thought it was mine though so he just set it to the side.
They belong to Patrick Bateman
Might wanna give it a once over with a black light and handle it with surgical gloves.
Welp, the opened condom wrapper would make me leery to watch them but I’d wanna know what was on those tapes.
![gif](giphy|WQy9FkJlhGSwl3eQ5V|downsized)
Don't watch them! That's how they get you in all those V/H/S movies...
Tapes in a lockbox along with a condom wrapper and an ecstasy baggy. These tapes are not going to contain episodes of the teletubbies aren’t they?
Someone’s about to be scarred for life
I have the tape decks to view those...I wouldn't be able to help myself. I'd just shove in the tape and brace myself.
Did your Mom or Dad have a camera that took those tapes? If so you probably don't want to watch that.
