Nothing too weird. Multiple manuals of objects that I own, probably the weirdest of which is a German manual for my Canon EOS 300 (I'm not German). And some machine learning papers, among which a paper from 1987, by Quinlan & Rivest, about decision trees (which is older than I am).

EDIT: Oh and another document older than me, a manual for the Minolta XG-9 that I'm lending from my dad.

I agree it feels weird to come across files that've been around for longer than you have.

Hercolobus Or Red Planet, by V. M. Rabolou... it's 'interesting'.

It’s an interesting concept and seems plausible enough (same as with Planet X, Nemesis.. ok some of that Nibiru stuff is ridiculous) but like, the evidence just isn’t there to support it. Feels like we should have found SOME evidence for this kind of interstellar disaster by now. I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong.

A very funny NGO report on "net-enabled anarchist extremists" that talks about the SRA like it's the PLA

Acute toxins fact sheet, guide to identifying snipe flies, several issues of Computer Gaming World from 1987, and 2 separate copies of the schematics for a Kenmore 148-1937.1 sewing machine.

The Chronicon of Marcellinus Comes, apparently. Not sure why.
