Cartonia
You eventually decide to blow up the main city square. You see performers on large stone blocks performing acrobatics or pretending to be statues. You decide to build an explosive vest and pretend to be a statue there and when the area is full you will trigger your bomb!
You prepare meticulously creating a dead man switch and arriving early on your chosen day. You stand perfectly still, your finger on the trigger. As you wait patiently your battery hits zero and you are perpetually stuck in that pose. A decade goes by with no one noticing you. A homeless man comes to collect the money you earn in tin can at the end of your day and brush the bird poop off of you to make you look like “a real person.”
A decade passes like this until, late at night when the square is abandoned, you are struck by lightning. The explosive finally detonates leaving a large crater but otherwise harming no one. It’s an ignominious end.
