Go the opposite. Use your power for good. The object becomes damn near impossible to destroy. What is irreplaceable for society? What has so much cultural significance that its so important that it becomes nearly industructible.
A single helium attom?
Hydrogen?
- a used condom on a sandy New York beach
- the single pickle in the jar at the back of the refrigerator, alternatively the single broken carrot in the bottom of the crisper
- chewed up gum on the bottom of a desk
- a single pink shoe, size 4, in the middle of the woods
- a used dildo stuck in a gutter grate
- the McDonald's French fry(or penny) you dropped under your car seat that one time
I think that covers most of them.
I would make irreplaceable objects like the Mona Lisa or Kurt Cobain's acoustic guitar into my Horcruxes.
I would make it so that the cultural loss of what it takes to kill me would be far greater than anything I could ever do.
Good idea, but you're still using small objects which can be destroyed by someone desperate (or a clever enough wizard). You want something large and physically resilient - the kind of thing that would be both hard to vanish, and is going to take something like a bomb to get rid of.
Make it something huge. One of the Pyramids of Giza. The Papal Palace. The Tower of London.
A Nokia 3310
That seems... overpowered.
A screw thats about to be fired into space and ejected off into the infinite great beyond.
Can't do shit about my horcrux if it's floating out past nebula 12.
There's a fan fiction where Voldemort (probably) horcruxified the Pioneer 11 plaque.
That kind of thing was going to be my answer to this question also.
The main downside I can think of, is a Horcrux similar to a Lich Phylactery in that you have to reform adjacent to it?
Nuclear Bombs, because if they wanna destroy me, they'll have to destroy civilization too 😎
Nuclear bombs don't just go off. You can blow them up and they just won't work. They're a pretty complex mechanism that needs to work perfectly. The fissile material inside is dangerous if you spread it about though.
A grain of sand, dump it in the ocean
But then your loyal servants won't be able to find it either to bring you back.
I was thinking the same thing, except a rock. I frequently visit ships as part of my job, and it would be no problem dumping it somewhere it would be likely to remain undisturbed for the rest of eternity. A grain if sand is likely to move with the currents. A rock will not.
It'll eventually be subducted, I think getting it into deep space is more likely to be long-term secure.
Go to school for aeronautics, become a rocket scientist. Get a job making rockets and satellites. When you finally get to work on a probe that is designed to not return, make it a horcrux just before it's launched. Even if people eventually figure out what it is, they won't be able to do anything about it until we have access to FTL travel.
But when you respawn, wouldn't you be in outer space, too?
Yeah, I assume you'd have another one (or more) on earth that would be the "main" one(s). It's like doing computer backups (keep them apart), but with more murder.
Nice try, Al-bum.
A butt plug
Certainly changes that scene in Deathly Hallows
"No, you should do it."
"Me?’ said Ron, looking shocked. ‘Why?"
"Because you got the sword out of the pool. I think it’s supposed to be you."
The Hope diamond.
