I would make batteries and a light source too.
Lincoln Foster
Sandwiches.
I fucking love sandwiches, and so will they.
Robert Peterson
What would you charge your batteries with?
ok.
Camden Parker
I'd invent a time machine and go back in time to the year of 850 A.D. to explain to myself how to build a time machine.

What do i have access to? Just intellect?
Brody Phillips
Probably just intellect.

Lucas Adams
I'd make simple vinegar or salt batteries.

how would you evacuate the bulb? wire drawing wasn't common until at least the 10th century glass technology was no way near sophisticated enough to produce a bulb. have fun finding sufficient quantities of magnetite and raising the funds necessary to have skilled craftsmen make everything for you

You can now, but the search bar only appears on certain servers for me. I thought you had to activate it in the server options but I didn't find it. Maybe there's a minimum of users or something you need to have for the search function to be available.
Christian Young
They're rolling out search gradually because it'd be too resource-intensive to do all at once. This also means they can pause the rollout if they notice glaring issues, which they probably did.

damn, a bicycle would be praised if you tell them locals that the gods gave you the knowledge. to build this contraption.

If I'm lucky, I would die from 850-era diseases

Jose Williams
nani?
Ian King
I would find the most prodigous mathematicians of the age and explain to them everything I learned at university
My main career (CS) would be completely useless
Leo Lee
I sometimes think about this and to be honest it would be really hard to come up with something like electricity. Where do you find magnets for a generator? The only relatively simple thing with a lot of impact would be the steam engine.
Brody Hernandez
The church would find you
I'd just invent toilet paper
Austin Jones
There's no potable water to wash more often.
Brandon Turner
>The church would find you Who said I had to end up in europe?
Also, I would basically be unable to communicate with anybody anyway, so I'd have to resort to sign language and diagrams
I'd probably start with the pythagorean triangle to demonstrate what I'm trying to do (i.e. draw a right-angled triangle and make 3, 4 and 5 markings on the appropriate sides)
John Morales
In 850 AD I think the place to be would be in Cordoba, Spain. There you can pass as a Christian without riking the stake, and moors used to value usefulness over religious orthodoxy.
Tyler Cox
850 was the middle of the chinese golden age of scientific advancement, bringing with it developments such as printing, air conditioning, mechanical clocks, medicine, and more.
In terms of mathematics, they know about linear algebra, polynomial equations, infinite series approximations of pi, square roots, cramer's rule, trigonometry, logarithms, spherical geometry, continued fractions etc.
Wyatt Anderson

actually easy way of making paper and printing press are piss easy to invent then there is mass soap production, obviously gunpowder uses 400 years earlier,steel kind of easy, bronze guns is very easy - just cast it
Logan Sullivan
there is - its called bucket
Nolan Clark
Better question is where will you find iron in 850 AD.
William Nguyen
WITCHCRAFT!
Jackson Gomez
>850 AD >I'm not of blue blood and in Europe they are busy removing kebab >Smart people miss Charlemagne and have a boner with reviving Roman Empire
I can live out of some weapon crafting. I just have to settle next to a stream and automate things a bit. With some gear magic I can save myself the work of hammering the swords while I devote myself to research other things.
Hudson Howard
everywhere? it's not BC when it was pretty hard to find, also basic geology knowledge smelting is not that hard if you know the basics
did you know that some maya pyramids have mercury ponds under them? to extract that much mercury takes a lot of heat and some contraption to collect it
Henry Anderson
just cast bronze canon why bother with swords? bronze because iron guns would take difficult to make tools of hard steel to produce that's unless you want your iron canons to blow up time to time
Aaron Gonzalez
I never have made gunpowder.
Landon Hughes
coal %10+sulfur %15+ %75potassium nitrate plenty of videos in youtube how to make all of them sulfur well known chemical throughout the ages coal - just make it nitrate - dig out toilet/stables lowest layer and boil it

Logan Lee
No. Probably not.
Why would you do that even, ruining the awesome dark ages for frivolities.
Instead I'd probably charm my way into some inner circles and enjoy being rich for once in my life.
But there still are many awesome things one can do in that time, from scratch. Like pulling wires.
Henry Roberts
By light source, why do you instantly think i'd make a lightbulb?
Dylan Gomez
You've doomed us all
Lucas Young
>wire drawing wasn't common until at least the 10th century debatable, some archeological finds have it 4c BC
Michael Lewis
a solar powered e-reader with a copy of wikipedia and an assortment of microsd with a few terabytes of books on all fields
no, how would you use your knowledge to secure followers that would labour for you in raising the most fast advancing empire in the human history?
Brandon Watson
>plenty of videos in youtube how to make all of them Right, because I'll have youtube in 850
Juan Edwards
Chances are you would be billions of miles away from the earth because [spoiler]the earth is moving at millions of miles per hour[/spoiler]
Cameron Butler
Unless you've given me a bunch of books I ain't inventin' shit
Justin Gomez
but you'd already have the time machine while you were there wouldn't you? Unless you mean your 850 A.D self which wouldn't even exist.
Hunter Anderson
Lead! Fucken LEAD! How does no one think of LEAD! They literally used lead as a sweetener back then.
I'd get magnets and electricity going and simple machines as my best understanding of math.

Angel Cooper
id shill hitler as the upcoming prophet
Jaxson Carter
Alas technology is incremental but science is revolutionary. Probably just spend my entire life proving and teaching basic scientific principles and calculus (their algebra/geo/trig is already good).
Also instilling that math be applied to science.
Owen Cox
Invent the heligraph and morse code. Revolutionize telecommunication using existing materials and simple technology.
Ian Howard
>If you did go back in time completely at random.. >The year would be 850 A.D.
well which is it OP?
I think I could invent a sewing machine. Also I have invaluable agricultural knowledge for somebody living in 850AD, I would introduce the concept of rotating crops with nitrogen fixing legumes
Isaac Moore
that is why bicycle is the safest bet
Zachary Cooper
kek good luck finding legumes in 850ad
Dylan Thompson
I would probably try and do the same as you did there. First I would just ''reinvent some obvious stuf f like >Canned Food >Batteries >I dont know if this is possible, but with some help I could setup some kind of turbine to gain power. Dont know how to create a dynamo though.
If this really happened id first worry about getting a reliable source of food, water and a place to live. Dogemaister, by the way do you know some fun boards I should check out, Im pretty new to Sup Forums.
Juan Flores
Good luck communicating with literally anybody considering how much languages change over time.
Also you're going to get violently ill and die once exposed to any human community and the pathogens that we don't get vaccinated against because they aren't a concern in modern times.

Not to mention potentially wiping them out with antibiotics-hardened 2017 era superbacteria.
Eli Jackson

Jose Wright
You'll be burned as a witch, kid.
Mason Gonzalez
Would teach climate change before it becomes a problem and try to encourage the skip straight to electric, avoiding oil in general.
The industrial age would look completely different and I'd be curious to see how it is replaced
Austin Gomez
I would "invent" Scientology and wage war against Christianity
oh then I'd work on creating sustainable farming and livestock and then metal casting and forging - well feed people that are well armed - that would be pretty good in 850AD
Josiah Jackson
>try to encourage the skip straight to electric, avoiding oil in general.
where the fuck do you think the energy for electric power would come from?
compared to magic burning rocks and black goo from the ground, your barely functioning 0.5% efficient solar cells or whatever would get completely ignored.
Hunter Allen
Coal would actually be better for the environment, as well as industry, than charcoal was. Europe was heavily deforested during the middle ages, to produce the charcoal which they relied on. It worked until everyone began to realize that it was a very finite resource. By then coal was being mined, and unlike charcoal, it lead to a huge leap in manufacturing capability, because it was more plentiful, and much more efficient. It allowed the mass production of superior grades of steel.
Hudson Smith
bitch please, take your google away and you wouldn't know how to wipe your own ass... you wouldn't have any advantage whatsoever
Oliver Edwards
not until Abraham Darby, bitch
Jaxson Barnes
Make an incredibly complex puzzle involving multiple series of books, codexes, etc. that lead to a treasure chest and a key.
Have the treasure chest contain a note that reads:
"gg no re"
Julian Reyes
Fuck developing electronics, I'd make the first steam powered vibrator to cure hysteria. I'd be a God among women for creating the Sybian.
Easton Hill
I would teach them about feminine penises.
Christopher Russell
I would set to work completely and utterly dismantling all concepts of and arguments for the existence of a deity, preventing thousands of wars and saving countless lives in the process.
Plus, with the trillions spent each year maintaining armed forces and funding wars put towards the betterment of our species, we would be at least a few hundred years ahead of our current tech.
B4 you cry, try to give me one piece of hard evidence that your deity exists. "muh holy book" is not valid evidence.
Evan Rivera
You're delusional if you think you can command/lead anything. Best thing you can hope for is being the emrah's right hand.
Mason Stewart
You'd be hanged, drawn and quartered, then quartered again just to be sure you're dead before you get two pennies to your name, much less enough followers to achieve anything besides having pals in your mass grave after your execution by the church.
Ian Robinson
