a lady came in and asked if she could put a bitly url on a headstone and we were like. i guess there's no rule against i guess if that's really what you want to do
[cut to year 2164] missed a couple monthly payments for my grandma's hologram memorial headstone and they repossessed it to show ads for android milf porn
Apparently some absolute egomaniac asswipe (derogatory) put a QR code on his headstone that linked to his PUBLICATION RECORD (he was, I’m sure you’ll be shocked to learn, an academic, I believe a physicist…)
I love that everyone I know who works in a medium office has an IT person begging them not to scan any old QR code and we keep slapping them around. Excited to see these things age
it is a bit like finding a random USB drive on the sidewalk and deciding to just slam that baby into your laptop and click "yes please!" to whatever pops up
I’m really curious how poorly they would age. If you generated one with max error correction and a small amt of text it might last?
Still a terrible idea and folks would likely just put a bitly url in there or exploit the error correction to embed images making error correction pointless
If you use a short URL with lower density and higer error correction, the QR code should be readable longer. But still there's the issue of the redirect host going away at some point.
I had the same issue with my business cards. Google link shortner was discontinued and so they're useless.
Would be cool to self-publish a lil' biography, get an ISBN, and put that on the headstone.
Would be even COOLER to put a cryptic riddle on there to mark the starting point of an elaborate international scavenger hunt, like classic tales such as "The Da Vinci Code" or "The Chipmunk Adventure."
