Dab pen and spice jars.

That's basically enough to start a religion in medieval times. Spices to finance a nice temple, and dabs to create a religious experience forc prophets who testify to the power of the faith.

Do I get to return to my normal time? If so then dab pen and warheads for sho. Imma just get blitzed and snack and watch those crazy knights go at it for a bit.

Fuck all that shit I am bringing Dishwashers and Bicycles and starting a global feminist uprising.

(the bicycles are both for transportation and for powering the dishwashers)

I'll have the Delorean and assuming it comes shielded the 64 kgs of enriched uranium please.

That tab of lsd. Somehow get to the king, tell him I've found a way to talk to God, give him the tab, and let the rest happen.

They had psychedelics in medieval times. Mushrooms, ergot, etc.

Tab of acid. Having a local nobleman burned as a witch might be useful

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's probably the least valuable one since there are natural hallucinogens all over the place that were already in use.

Does spice melange count as one of the spices?

5x bullets for the gun, but that is a 1911 chambered for .45 ACP, and those are .22 LRs. I mean, you could try, but it wouldn’t work very well.

The rockets and the gun. I can use the rockets to prove I have useful knowledge while using the gun to prove that my stuff is mechanisms not magic (by taking it apart). I'll then set about teaching them how to make gunpowder (charcoal, sulphur, saltpeter) and once I'm truly established we can move on to basic firearms.

You might want to work on making quality steel first. Gunpowder will be on its way from China already, so the time will be better spent on some critical materials.

Since you will need funding for other major projects, like smokeless powder, you might be better served by outfitting a few armies with better armor and swords first. (Take advantage of incremental science improvements, basically.)

Even with your vast experience with magic technologies, it's still going to take a fortune to develop the basics. A small research center is going to cost you at least a few hundred cows, a couple thousand chickens, and a few dozen horses, after all.

(You will need steel for mining operations to get enough raw materials to do anything, actually.)

The watch and the gun. If Ash can figure out how to manufacture shotgun shells in medieval times so can I. I'll also introduce the clock early and be praised for my genius

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Shotgun ammo is really, really more basic than handgun ammo. The latter have higher tolerance requirements, the ammo requires fine machining and metallurgy not available in medieval times. Even reloading, you only get so many reloads out of a case before stresses start to cause failures in the casing. And ammo failures in handgun ammo can have catastrophic consequences.

Whereas a shotgun is a fancy musket. Shells are comparatively simple, and the requirements for the casing are a simple base that could be made by a competent brass-smith and some stiffened, waxed cotton.

In both cases, you're going to be fucked finding or making primers. While you could eventually work out making black powder - again, sufficient for a shotgun but in no way workable in any modern pistol - primer explosive needs more complex chemistry than you'll be able to work out. Primers and their placement are precision components.

You would be far better ignoring the handgun and bullets, and just build blunderbusses and canon. Those just need a good blacksmith and figuring out how to make black powder.

Probably the spices and uranium.

Spices have always been valuable, and I'd "curse" the nobility with the yellow cake and anyone else who bothered me.

Maybe they'd execute me horribly for witchcraft, or maybe I could retire and live a more peaceful life than my current one.

Spices and the bic/rockets. Spices for trading and light to light alone is going to help barter and survive but the rockets for defence

These options suck. I want a history text book

It's not going to be detailed enough to help you.

Warheads would probably kill someone from back then

Why LSD and not magic mushrooms? I would certainly prefer being able to grow that shit instead of having a limited supply

motorcycle and spices. The motorcycle can be broken down for many useful parts with good-quality metal.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

That amount of spice is not gonna make you rich. You need to fill a ship's hold and cross the world.

The moog and the weed pen. I'll travel the countryside showing people analog synthesis and getting them mega high (they have medieval tolerance levels) until those 5 carts run out
