They should make a movie about this. An average guy accidentally time travels and feels embarrassed every minute
Starring Ricky Gervais is presume?
If you went back in time and tried this, most civilizations would probably burn you at the stake
Fools as i carry with me all of human knowledge, right here in this fragile tiny black slab. I can tell you all once you tell me what your wifi password is.
As a side-note: You can download Wikipedia.

It’s happened. He’s time traveled and been cut off mid post. Also apparently lemmy doesn’t handle timespace folds gracefully.
I hope this is fixed in 0.18.6
Truly we’ve all been affected by this bug from time to time to time to time.

86 GB? Yike.
86GB is nothing for a condensed form of all human knowledge
Then you realize that, back then, the only thing they had were Xfinity hot spots.
Worst Isekai. I didn’t finish it though so no I don’t really know I just didn’t enjoy episode 1 with my smartphone.

All you have to do is teaching intelligent people some math and tell them about experiments and that nature can be understood. The rest will follow.
Everything can be accelerated by adding the idea of the printing press.
The main challenge with inventing a working printing press would be the papermaking and level of metalworking required for the movable type.
pretty sure you can just use wood or whatever for the lettering, sure it might be kinda shit and tend to break but it should work. having to make new letter stamps every now and then is better than painstakingly writing every letter for hand.
The main problem with that is that you can’t make the types very small with wood, and the singlemost expensive ingredient in this whole printing press concept is the paper.
So you would end up having books with very little text on each page, and especially in a slave economy, it would just be much cheaper to make handwritten copies, since you could cram a lot more words on each page.
And again, this is not adressing the issue of even having the skill to make paper in the first place.
Not to mention inventing an alphabet depending on where and when you go to. Or you could go with ConstantScript if you feel like being a gigantic troll.
Abugida might be workable if you reform it so that vowel markers can only appear above or below the modified consonant.
Paper making is not that hard if you use cotton fibers instead of wood pulp
Did the Greeks not do experiments? They knew math. They even hypothetically knew about atoms.
The Greeks held themselves back because most of their intellectual elite considered abstract thought as more noble than hands-on experimenting.
Also Aristotle accidently killing atomic theory for over 2000 years
An offline version of Wikipedia would be handy though.
For anyone interested a simple way is to wrap copper wire around a magnet. Static electricity was also one of the first ways people started noticing electricity.
Parlor tricks might be able to get you far when you time travel to the ancient past.
Wrap it in the wire, then spin one of them. That part’s important! Won’t do anything if you don’t spin it.
He’ll be fine as long as he has a cat and buttered toast.

Watch the docter stone anime, it’s quite amusing. TL.DW super dude get petrified for like 3000 years and wakes up and re-introduces technology.

Project manager: “Absolutely the developers can implement it!”
The developers: 😑😑😑

I’d just be glad to finally return to monke
If you could find a jeweller and had an understanding of basic electrical systems, you could probably get a rudimentary capacitor and engine going. From there, who knows what you could do. Maybe even lightbulbs.
Lightbulbs are pretty easy to make if you:
- Can find a jeweler or blacksmith like you said
- Can generate a ton of electricity somehow
- Are okay with the lightbulb lasting no more than 1 second
You could fill it with co2 .put an animal bladder on the mouth of a clay bottle where something is fermenting like wine or beer. The yeast will produce a fair ammount of c02 and fill the bladder. Use the bladder to fill the bulb. It wont last long but it will be longer than just air
If you could find a way to fill the lightbulb with a noble gas as you insert your filament, i think decent life is reasonable.
You can also use a sacrificial gas that burns off before the filament. Saw it in a youtube video https://youtu.be/ThBkzEfjVl0?si=gJW8JyD8KM1Y5Ye8

I don’t even know where to get that here never mind in times of yore
Part of that image is cropped, just below the diagram of the wing. That’s going to be an interesting test flight!
First of all, no one would understand you, but how someone already pointed out, make a spool with copper and spin it. For bonus points, put a iron slab inside the spool
Edit: as someone pointed out you kinda need a magnet
eh language barriers are generally overstated i think, people with completely unrelated languages develop pidgins within the decade, and if you’re dropped into a place where they speak some complete gibberish like french you’ll still just naturally figure it out given a year or so of being forced to endure it.
That is very true, but maybe they would just kill you or think that you are crazy before you would have the chance to actually change mankind
maybe, but frankly i think it’s at least equally likely that they just see you as a blessing from the heavens and frankly get a little too enthusiastic about your knowledge.
