Before I die I will manufacture a huge hoax. I will chisel some alien faces or dinosaurs on a boulder, or some phrases in a made-up alphabet.
I'll study how to make my hoax resistant to superficial critical inspection and the whole world will make documentaries about it.

I might create a new Rosetta stone, perhaps in a object–subject–verb word order, and using only 5 syllables, and a syllabary format, and seemingly no recursion.
Imagine the chaos in the linguistic world, nerds will be at each other's throats :D

We live in an interesting time when it's never been more difficult to make a convincing hoax due to forensic technology being very advanced, while on the other hand it's never been easier to fool more people with a hoax due to social media. The real challenge therefore is to either make a hoax so good that it tricks people who actually understand the subject, or to see what is the crappiest, most low-effort hoax you can pull off while fooling the highest amount of uninformed people.

The last successful viral hoax was probably that monolith story. But it seems like a lot of effort just to make mad all. It's way easier to just hoax some UFO pictures or smth and people will always reference them.

very intelligent answer. I guess the first option would be the most stimulating for me, fooling a ton of scientists into believing that an unbelievable scientific breakthrough happened
