Issue is that multiple countries have systems where it’s, “They launched nukes? We’ll launch all our nukes”
The mitigation is basically, “We will wipe you off the map if we think even ONE nuke is coming at us,” and this has nearly happened several times, only stopped because the system has a human at the final step, and humans when realizing they could end the world seem to hesitate
Spices - You can become wealthy as HELL, and your modern day clothes can easily make you seem like some foreign merchant, so can get you people interested. You DO need to sell those spices fast, however, else you WILL get robbed
Motorcycle - As others have said, you can get it to run on grain alcohol once out of gas, but that’s not the real prize with it. The real prize is using your new found wealth to get smiths to make more engines, using that as a blueprint, and essentially kick starting the industrial revolution. Mind, this IS going to be used for war, so prepare to become a war mongul
Casio Watch is going to be too advanced to figure out for back then. The motorcycle is the better one - Kickstarting the industrial revolution many centuries sooner would do wonders
A non Roku Smart TV that you just don’t connect to the internet at all, ever
Yeah, the iris isn’t made of denim!
I think that’s Spez’s plan
Plus, it’s still in early access. Generally, folks will hit a wall in terms of enjoyment, then give it time to develop and jump back in
Just the nature of early access. After a few big updates or one really major one, it’ll likely surge in numbers again
The far right multimedia group Gab released an LLM for people to get answers which “the government and liberal elite keep secret”, so already happening
Hilariously easy to jailbreak though, so I imagine it’s also piss easy to poison
Which is pretty ironic, all things considered
In short, competition breeds innovation
So an unstable hunk of nuclear material floating up in space that could fail and crash into a random spot of the planet?
This is somehow scarier than Russia being competent and putting a nuke up there. At least then you could predict what it may hit…
And the few who can wouldn’t dare out of fear of Sudden Defenstration Syndrome
Ye, I’d say the cement is the real issue there. If they could just place the granite blocks and not use cement, then that would work
Considering conlangs exist where they show pitch by having a diacritic above/below the syllable, it is pretty possible. Just not likely to achieve wide spread adoption in an established language
So what you’re saying is that I should convince the British I’m an artifact to get a free vacation?
True, but that still revolves around leaving it aa close as possible to how they were - preservation sometimes requiring active work to keep clues around
For the pyramids, the rate of exterior decay is probably deemed far less destructive than the need to use cement to restore the granite
Need to leave sites as close to as they were as possible, else clues about the past could be accidentally destroyed, especially clues that we do not have the technology to analyze yet
I think that if life is a simulation, it’s tech assisted dreaming, letting one dial in specifics for consistent experiences
Ah, but cutting it completely means they could potentially go back to child labour, and they’ve already been trying to set the ground work for it
