    1. establish a new culture in the Americas that will unify and kill European settlers on sight.
    2. teach the native Americans about the future they’re preventing
    3. teach them European science, politics, history, economics, etc
    4. give them a technological advantage that will set them ahead of Europe by 650 years by teaching them manufacturing skills.

    basically, I want to destroy white colonialism. we have a toxic culture that honestly doesn’t deserve to exist on a planet it wants to destroy.

    I’m also curious to see how North America would turn out after 650 years have passed after I have achieved my goals.

    I’m building a boat to go find the Niña, Pinta and Santa Maria to sink them real good. Then nuke China and Ruzzia at their palaces. Same to every “kingdom”. That’s what they all deserve. Complete erasure from history. Instead people would just know that there used to be an asshole who wanted everyone to work and give him all the money.

    Probably not the answer you thought, but succeed by knowing there are wild animals that could easily kill me. It’s either I die by that, or wait until the lack of my blood thinners kills me, sl I’d definitely take the quicker death than the slower one.

    What place do I get teleported to? If I’m teleported to the same place on Earth, then I just fell down several meters into a swamp and am probably going to die here.

      You teleported to somewhere safe and private, you won’t fall to your death and nobody will see you lol.

      The butterfly effect of that would be weird because all of our brain rot slang would change then.

        Exactly, that’s the fun part. Would it get worse, or swing the other way, having kids talk like uppity old money aristocrats?

    Double entry accounting system.

    I’m an accountant by trade. The double entry system wasn’t invented until the 15th century.

    I could account for any lords various assets, goods, and livestock in an efficient, reliable and accurate manner

      Europeans would show up and my Native American homies would be armed with cartridge rifles, six shooters and a crank rotary machine gun.

      I would try for better, but I think there just wouldn’t be the time for fine tooling more advanced fire arms would require. Even getting all that going before I croak is going to take a lot of ambition.

      Also assuming they don’t think I am some evil spirit that they quickly kill when I demand industrial metal facilities be constructed.

      Oh, they would probably also have penicillin before the white man, so that would be a major advantage.

    1375? Die from malaria, I guess? Be eaten by an alligator? Or oh no, hasten the demise of the Tocobaga with my exotic biology? Either they would kill me or get me sick, or vice versa. Also, fall on my ass when my house disappeared.

    I would follow the river to the bay, I guess, and see if I could find anyone, or anything I might be able to eat.

    Die as you forgot to teleport me to where the earth was at the time.

    Otherwise I guess my main knowledge that could be useful is some basic first aid. Secondary to that, a little bit of electrical stuff.
