What is the weirdest PDF you have in your downloads?
-
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).
I agree it feels weird to come across files that've been around for longer than you have.

I’m so curious
Nothing special enough to share, nor would I even share such works, especially with all the pages stuck together..

I find this segment to be particularly insightful:
That's the one I was gonna post! I think the text file containing ASCII 0s and 1s for an image of the Mona Lisa comes second.

Boringly, the only thing in there currently is the guide from the dmv (mvc, sorry) for nj to review cause I'm feeling old and need a refresher.

My mom's death certificate. That's weird.

It's a speculative evolution book from 1990 about how mankind might evolve in the next 5 million years. Basically the premise is that due to climate change, new species of humans are engineered to survive in a more hostile world. And then it follows these new species and their further evolutions.
The creatures in the picture above are both descended from humans.
It's weird, bleak and very far fetched.:::spoiler A small gallery of the various species:

I think if i dig through my records I can find a federal subpoena from 2016. A LEO had to formally come to my door to confirm I received it but the prosecutor sent it to me via email.

I have a key to tree identification in winter. It's surprisingly useful

(1984) Reflections of Trusting Trust by Ken Thompson
It's a really short PDF, but it's not as technical as it seems.

RIP. This is up there with the arrest warrant

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.

Hmm, it probably depends what you think is weird, but I have one in their on the feasibility of extracting ammonia from biomass. There's also one on early steam turbines by a fellow named Geoff Horseman, which is a fun name.

Ok, the second one is definitely a wierd(ly specific) PDF and I dig it!

What the fuck, Bahamas? Life imprisonment?
Well, if they went for the death penalty it'd be obviously ironic.

It's a beast too - 202 pages. From the part I read, I could probably make one that kind works, but that's it. Unfortunately the author didn't go into the details I was hoping for, like why exactly steam turbine airfoils are hook-shaped. One neat thing is that they have a nice little formula for comparing totally different turbines over time to show how they gradually do more with less.
The ammonia paper is weird because it's a super impractical and difficult idea - normally you fix nitrogen in a big Haber-Bosch plant and turn it into biomass. Both came up because they're applicable to primitive tech stuff.
I have more and probably weirder, but things I care about tend to be moved out of the download folder.
