A single helium attom?
Hydrogen?
Helium is a noble gas, I guess they don’t want to risk it breaking if it bonds with something else, slut that hydrogen is?
Argon would be better, as it won’t leave Earth and float off into space never to be seen again.
When it comes to a horcrux that would be the most ideal no?
Ah, but your horcrux isn’t a water molecule to be split it’s the hydrogen atom itself so if it bonds and you split the bond the horcrux is still intact.
Like if the diary were put into a bookshelf it wasn’t destroyed by removing it from the shelf.
You can split a helium atom into two hydrogen, but good luck splitting a hydrogen atom.
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.
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.
Huh, maybe.
You don’t respawn from the horcrux, it just tethers your soul to the world, but maybe it could result in your soul getting drifted into space somehow?
I don’t think that’s what Rowling intended, but I dare say she might have made a few logic errors in her children’s books.
It could be the reason they were all relatively close to the UK. Proximity to the main alive version. Maybe they work as a big “triangulation” network.
That one manhole cover that got ejected from earth’s atmosphere
I think it’s cheating if you don’t have physical access to it otherwise you could just make it one of the voyager probes.
The moon, or better yet, the sun
I’d use Pioneer 10.

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?
Incredible. I love it.
Obligatory Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality.
My favorite fanfiction that spawned a doomsday cult of “rationalists.”
Nice try Auror but you’ll never catch me!
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.
bitch nobody knows what that is
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 speed limit sign or a mile marker sign. Hiding in plain sight.
Hopefully horcrux can’t be damaged by bullets…
Nice try, Al-bum.
A Nokia 3310
That seems… overpowered.
