What would you tell someone in 2024 to completely change their life for the better?
Probably the best answer in this thread, still a bit if a gamble. I certainly would have a hard time answering that for a person from 1024.
“wash your hands”
Don’t forget to specify with soap and to do it after bathroom visits and before meals, otherwise they’ll just wash their hands once per month and use dirt to wash with.
And specifically before they try any “surgery”
did they have soap back then?
According to Wikipedia
Humans have used soap for millennia; evidence exists for the production of soap-like materials in ancient Babylon around 2800 BC.
So I think they did.
Don’t let anyone explore overseas to the west (if talking to a white person).
Don’t trust white people (if talking to just about anyone else).
Telling them how a steam engine works. That would start the industrial revolution earlier and it would end up speeding us up to a more advanced and better future… or to an early extinction by global warming… hmmmm
Maybe explaining an electricity generator would be a better gamble, but it may be very hard to make one back then…
The Romans had steam engines. But they couldn’t be used for anything but opening temple doors to impress people because they didn’t have the manufacturing tolerances to seal the steam chamber properly, nor the metallurgy needed to pressurize it without bursting.
That tech only became available much later during the industrial revolution.AFAIK even that wouldn’t have been unsolvable problems for Greeks and Romans.
However why put all the effort into this machinery when you can simply put more slaves to work? One driving factor for the Industrial Revolution was the issue of having to pay people actual wages instead of being able to force them to work. This added incentives to reduce manual labor and replace them with something owners can force to work without paying it: Machines.
The answer would probably be something sensible, within our ability and something we would be capable of.
We already know how to do this … we as a collective global civilization just actively refuse to do any of it unless we were forced to, either by war or by the realization that it will mean our extinction.
It’s not that we are a thousand years dumber than our descendants … we are just as intelligent and insightful as our ancestors a thousand years ago … it’s just that our short sightedness and greed gets the best of us.
In many ways we are still a lot like our prehistoric ancestors from 100,000 years ago who believed that our family should control all the unlimited amount of bananas in the jungle.
The fact there is a human person to ask anything to is answer enough for me.
Can u give me a offline copy of the current state of wikepedia.
Sure! Here’s a 100PB thumb drive.
*isolinear data crystal.
Hopefully the usb standard hasn’t updated too much.

If its USBC its probably still backwards compatible.
Buger looking glob of DNA
In a thousand years from now, I honestly think 100PB is small for a thumb drive. I’ve seen such drastic increase in storage density in my lifetime that, while I don’t expect it, I wouldn’t be surprised if I see 100PB in single storage devices at some point in my lifetime.
I’m already dealing with PB-sized storage clusters at work, so the need for that k8nd of storage is already there, and necessity drives innovation.
“No.”
Well fuck
Specifically all the medical stuff, like all the generic formulas that extend my life
Well that’s step 1 once u got the data.

Is 3024 the year of Linux on desktop?
What would you tell a direct ancestor of yourself, living in the year 2024?
This is it. You don’t always know what you need to to know.
How long did it take to overthrow humanity, dear robot overlord?
Hold up, it’s getting mighty undemocratic here
DEMOCRACY IS NON-NEGOTIABLE
I was thinking about this yesterday… the kinda already have.
I mean bots online have humans so addled we can’t decide whether to have a vaccination, or whether to elect a dictator.
I don’t think we’re in fit shape to read Facebook and order from Amazon, and we’re going to have a real actual shooting war with robots?
How do you exist, considering the current state of our world?
Do we survive our current nonsense, or does it just get worse from here?
Will half life 3 be worth the wait?
Actually in 2999 Gabe Newell’s consciousness uploaded to the Steam Cloud decreed that 3s were now illegal. The year is legally 2999 Episode 24.
Whats the btc price?
How is the price of BTC in 3024 relevant to you, you won’t live to see 3024 and reap the potential rewards.
It would show me the direction. Also, how can you question whats relevant to me? I would just be curious…believe it or not…
This is like a viking asking what the value of a silver pennigar is in 2024. Which you probably wouldnt understand because they dont speak modern English. And even if the conversation were mutually intelligible, most people wouldnt know or care what a silver pennigar is to be able to give an answer and the ones that do would point out that because that particular coin hasnt been used at scale in commerce in hundreds of years, it doesnt really have a modern answer aside from “this is a collector’s item not a form of recognized currency.” And even if it did, its likely not going to be easy to explain what that value is in a way that they understand. i.e dollars wouldnt mean anything to them and the value of most things has changed dramatically since that time.
No, you can’t just be curious. That’s not allowed!
Also, the BTC price then is: “what’s bitcoin? Not that you’d know the value of the currency I say anyway.”
Even if crypto does become the next big thing, I doubt bitcoin specifically would still be around. Surely there’s much better tech by then. If you’re lucky they know about it as the precursor to their current system. And even if for some reason it did stick around that long, the value would be meaningless since you have no idea what inflation is like.
That’s also assuming they would still be able to express the price in another currency that we recognize now
Well, wouldnt you want to know what will have happened until then?
I’d want to know what their favorite meal is. 1000 years would likely have a lot of culinary, agriculture, and food production changes. Maybe everyone eats cubes of flavored yeast.
Theyre really partial to the cockroach meal and protist gruel.
HL3 when ?
What do your history books say happened around 2030?

Not quite as good as Acting Unit 0.8
