Yeah, weird random chance makes a huge difference. Otzi was probably well known, but only hyper-regionally. Lucy was basically just an unusually smart animal, and that was millions of years ago.

And just because you're forgotten for a bit doesn't mean you won't come back into style.

Hmm. So if you want 15 minutes of fame a long time from now, what's some weird easter egg you can leave?

    Archeologists actually dig up a lot of sex toys, believe it or not. That won't get you noticed.

    A time capsule with something that nobody else will think to preserve might do it. Way too many preserve things the future is actually meh about. I wonder if a weird data footprint might be even better at this point. Like, if you filled out some official form thousands of times just for fun, and someone a long time from now is doing analysis and turns it into a meme.
