I’d give laser pointers to Neanderthals. Even if they did figure out some useful application for them (maybe hunting?) they’d run out of batteries eventually.
A coke bottle
Drop it from an airplane. Bet they would then say among themselves:
God Must Be Crazy!
Let’s give some ancient peoples a couple books on modern maths and calculus. Really fuck with the development of tech.
Fuck yeah, just give the ancient Greeks hindu-arabic numerals and watch them lose their minds. Teach Zeno calculus and watch him try to prove it wrong.
Pretty sure the greeks knew about the hindu number system, they were neighbours for centuries. They just thought zero was of the devil and geometry was better that algebra and never adopted it.
Furbies. Just to see if we end up with a furby based religion.
If we’re including eras where people are able to read and write, a history book. They will see their future and will attempt to change it, for better or for worse.
A cube of pure tungsten. So when they pick it up they cant believe how heavy it is.
Those little Roman devices nobody can figure out.
Antikythera mechanism?
That’s Greek and we have a pretty good understanding of them.
I think the person you’re replying to is referring to these odd little dodecahedrons that we keep finding in former Roman provinces, but for which we’ve found no documentation as to what they were for, if anything.
No, those little dice things nobody can figure out at all. They’re octagonal with a little ball on each corner.
It’s how the Greeks played Minecraft.
To fuck with? Contraceptives, obviously!
After further consideration, I would also give them a Solar-Powered TV that plays nothing but a Video of Hatsune Miku doing Fortnite Dances
Antibiotics
Talk about butterfly effect lol. I wonder where we would be today if antibiotics were readily available before plagues became plagues.
Me, too. That’s why I wanna do it!
Cool Ranch Doritos
A copy of Windows Vista
aluminum bars, they won’t be able to work it into things like with iron. even if they do, they can’t make more
Sharpies. Think off all the confused scientist that have to explain sharpie marks under acient paintings.
Nuclear bombs
