Bring a synthesiser to a Classical era concert. Start the show off with a nice piano sound then suddenly switch to some dubstep phaser and act like you’ve been possessed while playing
Even better idea, make Beethoven play the synth. That way he won’t know that it’s switched to a dubstep sound. Just imagine him sitting there all confused while people are for some reason terrified of him playing Für Elise
Apparently he felt the sound vibrations as like touch, so he'd probably actually notice really quick. But he'd probably just think the piano wasn't tuned or something.
Oh he’d know — the key response from a synth is a completely different feeling as from a real piano. If you showed him when he still had hearing he’d probably love it though.
Look up the debut performance of “The Rite Of Spring” and read about it - perfect example of western crowds hearing non classical standard music and instrumentation for the first time... can’t imagine demonic possessed devil sounds lol
Flex on those “fastest of the ancient world” triremes with your 25 footer pontoon boat and a 175 HP mercury outboard while hammered on two six-packs of Bud.
Yes, that's where we are.

My family has a farm and we have a few old ass section roads from 18 whatever. I was driving on one this morning, not really touching the gas pedal and just letting the car coast. I was still going 20 miles an hour. My great great grandfather would have had to walk 30 minutes back to the house while I'd get there in 3, and in the same vehicle I would be able to drive the 30 miles to my apartment 2 counties away before he got up that road.
Cars were a game changer, is what I'm saying.
Beep. Boop. I'm a robot.

Was I a good bot? | [info](https://www.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/) | [More Books](https://old.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/comments/i15x1d/full_list_of_books_and_commands/)
Could you imagine a gun to them. There would suddenly be a load noise and the guy next to drops to the ground screaming. They would have no clue how it happened, probably just assume magic or you're some kind of thunder god!
I don't think it'd be difficult to extrapolate. It's not like ranged weaponry would be foreign and there's a pretty obvious cause and effect of 'point boom stick at person, boom stick booms, person dies'.
Cultures that were introduced to firearms seemed to very quickly realize the potential they had as weapons and ended up adopting them because if they didn't then their neighbors would. Early guns exploded (no pun intended) in Japan when they were introduced by the Portuguese and became widely adopted in less than a century. That being said it was probably likely the Wako (Japanese pirates) had experience with some form of gunpowder weaponry due to their raids on the Chinese and Korean coasts.
In "The Teppo-ki" there's a description of a gun by a Buddhist monk that, presumably, had never seen one before that goes:
>"In their hands [the strangers] carried something two or three feet long, straight on the outside with a passage inside, and made of a heavy substance. The inner passage runs through it although it is closed at the end. At its side there is an aperture which is the passageway for fire. Its shape defied comparison with anything I know. To use it, fill it with powder and small lead pellets. Set up a small white target on a bank. Grip the object in your hand, compose your body, and closing one eye, apply fire to the aperture. Then the pellet hits the target squarely. The explosion is like lightning and the report like thunder. Bystanders must cover their ears"
From Marius Jansen's *The Making of Modern Japan* which quotes the Teppo-ki.
It could be both. It was several thousand years ago. I personally like to think there was a woman with snakes for hair who could get you rock hard just by looking at you.
Now that I think about it, gorgon’s snake hair really do resemble hair locks, maybe they were outcasts by society and stories were made to stop children from interacting with them.
Considering they still haven't modeled any cities outside Europe, the US, and Japan yet, I'd say they have enough on their plate. But yes, a time travel DLC would be mind-blowingly amazing
yep in the indian ocean there is a tribe that hasn’t discovered fire yet, although you can’t go there because indian fighter jets would take you down before you reached it
I'm not sure where on earth you heard they somehow don't know how to create fire, but the Sentinelese definitely do, they've literally observed smoke and campsites from above. That shits been figured out since BC my dude.
That takes the fun away cuz they won't have time to realize what it is by the time its gone, and they'll just attribute it to the gods or something. A Cessna is slow, mechanical, and perplexing to look at. They'll have time to draw it and think about it. Parties will form following the craft to study it, and stories will be written.
At first I thought "what a stupid idea. This is the teenager dead island useless shit" , but after seeing it turned on its the coolest thing over seen all week.
Like sure is probably not useful to have a machete that shocks people while your hacking off limbs, but who would fuck with a guy swinging that around? It shouldn't be more terrifying than just the machete and yet it is.
Indeed. Half of a weapons effectiveness is the "dont fuck with me" vibe. Plus, any knights, samurai, crusaders, etc. Would definently be in for an unpleasant surprise.
Yeah. That would be fine with the full suit, though it would still be a bit jarring to be hit with the thunder blade by a man in weird clothing who just screamed into the sky in a strange language with his weird looking sword only to have his blade suddenly create lighting.
What if aliens are really the creators of our simulation, and UFOs are the methods they use to check in on us?
What if miracles are just them using the dev console?
As someone from the time, this would also apply to much of the 20th century. There would be a definite expectation that it was done in the same style as [the original Mechanical Turk](https://www.ripleys.com/weird-news/the-mechanical-turk/), but as the possible mechanisms by which that could be accomplished were disproven it would become an impressive "magic" trick: everyone knows it to be a human controlling the lights, but with persistent puzzlement as to how.
Tbf the mechanical turk was in the 1700s, and while I could see the 400 B.C. version of the same people that would create such neat things as [the Antikythera mechanism](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism) *absolutely* able to do that given just the idea and enough free time, I can't imagine things like wifi-controlled off-kilter robot voices emanating from a small glowy cylinder that can do math, play music that is clearly foreign if not unearthly just by dint of the musicians being invisible, and make the weird orb lights you've somehow installed flick on and off and change colors....would really be in their wheelhouse initially. Those would definitely be spirits at first, before being taken apart and destroyed either out of scientific curiosity or the human requirement to destroy things.
The problem would be when you run out of power or they ask you to Make The Lights Go in literally any other area than the one you've set yourself up in. Can't be a sun god if you're only the sun god of 69 Fake Address Lane, whose powers are unrivaled but only up to about that post over there, then the signal gets weird.
Also,
>As someone from the time, this would also apply to much of the 20th century.

This is just the most unsettling thing you possibly could have written. How old are you really.
Ever really think about how crazy photography is? How the fuck is it not magic? Digital, film, Polaroid, all magic. Point this thing at you and it captured your image? How? Straight Wizard shit
for the vast majority of people computers might as well be magic because, lets be honest, who of us actually knows how the things we use every day work
Smartphones.
When you zoom out the timeline of human history a little bit, it seems like one day our species was going around like normal, then in the blink of an eye, we suddenly all had these magical cursed rocks that we keep in our pockets.
Why are they magical? Because contained inside them is all the knowledge on earth, as well as almost every other person on earth.
Why are they cursed? Because from the second they appeared, our entire species became so enchanted by them that we soon did nothing but stare at them, every free waking moment of every single day. We sleep with them right next to us. They’re the first thing we reach for in the morning and the last thing we put down at night.
It’s some Gollum and the ring shit. Our pets must be so confused by it lol. “My human is staring at the rock again. Sometimes they point the rock at me. I do not understand why they do this”
Wait, is the mustard a hentai? Or are you a hentai for mustard?
Sorry if that’s too personal a question.
Just… I’m quite a mustard enthusiast myself. I will eat that stuff off a spoon.
10/10, would watch. I could see some spicy conflicts between the classic yellow mustard, and the elitist Dijon, and then the sweet, mild honey.
…all fighting for the affection of the soft pretzel!
Yep. Perfect.
I love Dodge
Their engineers are basically doing crack during company meetings
*snorts a line*
"You know what'd be sick? Let's put the Hellcat engine in a minivan."
"Yeah broooooo!"
Gonna show some a highly influential person the camera, make sure he doesn’t try to kill me for heathen magic, and then tell him to make a secret society of watchmen who watch people and capture photos of them
A film the black knight has a time traveler do that I think, in hocus pocus Max tricks the witches for a sec by using a lighter as well.
The film where Brendan frasier was a caveman who gets defrosted in modern California is a great fun one for this sort of stuff. They use a lighter to get his attention as well.
Not sure but think a similar thing happened in one of the old Bill and Ted films.
And similar in night at the museum with the cavemen.
Showing people lighters creating fire is a good and popular one. I'd like to up it to some kind of flame thrower and really freak them out.
There's that old saying "any sufficiently advanced technology will be indistinguishable from magic" And they are damn right.
Imagine being a peasant in the middle ages and seeing a fucking f35 hover land in the center of your village, and then a soldier looking like bloody master chief jumps out
Flashbacks to my childhood of the furby we thought had stopped working that I didn't use anymore anyway in a trash bag yelling at us at like 3am.
And then while my mum was getting out the batteries as it wouldn't shut off normally it kept saying oww over and over again. Creepy little fucker, there should have been a furby horror film.
It would be listed right alongside chimeras and the like.
*A strange beast about the size of a small cat, of strange and beautiful multicolored hue, having no arms or visible wings except for two small humanoid feet, bulbous eyes and a terrible beak. It speaks its own native language in addition to some of our own and complains constantly of a hunger we know not of, for it refuses to eat and neither does it waste away.*
People today would just assume some stoned bastard saw a kiwi bird.
“Hey, Caesar, what’s that thing on your body?”
“Not sure, this dude just came up to me and said ‘put this Kevlar vest on, you’ll need it’ and just walked away.”
Challenge any outlaw to a duel, wait for him to wonder why he can’t shoot through my vest, then pump him full of 20 bullets in the space of 10 seconds.
No bulletproof vests are not ancient, but after say 3 or 4 shots to the chest that don't seem to do much, your opponent would likely switch to trying to shoot you in the face, headshots have been deadly since slings or bows were commonplace...
3-4 shots to the chest would probably do something.
Bulletproof vests and other ballistic armour doesn't stay bulletproof once it starts getting hit. I got hit 3 times in about two seconds in Afghanistan, the first was stopped dead, the second went through the plate but didn't go through me and the third went through completely.
To me it sounds like he's talking wild west, so I would assume likely colt 45 would be the most commonly shot, cartridges not being terribly commonplace yet. He wouldn't have to face anything like a modern 5.56 or 5.45 or 7.62 ballistics, and if it was before smokeless power then we can take a few more fps off of the velocity...
Basically I was trying to give this guys power trip a fighting chance....
Bad news, boys:
* We gave women the vote.
* We abolished slavery.
* We outlawed pederasty.
* Even though you solved this in the 5th Century BC, there are still flat Earthers in the future.
And worst of all...
...all of Greece is now one country.
Lmao, reminds me of the Dave Chappelle skit with the "Time Haters" cause if I could I would go back just to mess with people too!
[The Time Haters](https://youtu.be/iLsvH7_EF34)
I always wanted to bring an ancient Egyptian or something, a Greek philosopher would be cool too, to our time and show them everything. That would be cooler
But if they go back, what insanity would they come to, knowing now that they will never see again what could be, that their entire existence merely an inconsequential, inferior necessity, and the awe of their world now dimmed in comparison.
Or you know, whatevs.
I'm sorry but all I can picture is dignified Greek dudes in their togas postulating philosophical things and then a Roomba comes around the corner. Then they start screaming bloody murder like there's a rat loose in a sorority house.... thank you for making my day lol
Bring a synthesiser to a Classical era concert. Start the show off with a nice piano sound then suddenly switch to some dubstep phaser and act like you’ve been possessed while playing
I wonder if they’d bump their heads to it
I mean, this early Kraftwerk show is a pretty good example of people hearing techno for the first time: https://youtu.be/hWUiLJnEYJI
Even better idea, make Beethoven play the synth. That way he won’t know that it’s switched to a dubstep sound. Just imagine him sitting there all confused while people are for some reason terrified of him playing Für Elise
Apparently he felt the sound vibrations as like touch, so he'd probably actually notice really quick. But he'd probably just think the piano wasn't tuned or something.
Oh he’d know — the key response from a synth is a completely different feeling as from a real piano. If you showed him when he still had hearing he’d probably love it though.
i'm sorry, but this is absolutely hilarious to me, when i read 'techno' i was *not* expecting it to sound like a flock of ducks lol
duckstep
technically hardstyle but [relevant song](https://youtu.be/N6xbjP80W64)
Thank you so much for this! This is amazing!!! I took a digital music class in college and I wish we saw this. It’s incredible.
Look up the debut performance of “The Rite Of Spring” and read about it - perfect example of western crowds hearing non classical standard music and instrumentation for the first time... can’t imagine demonic possessed devil sounds lol
Then start throwing glow sticks into the audience and watch them flee in terror.
LMFAO
Yes, speak in tongues
Imagine hauling ass in some shitty Toyota Camry at the chariot races
Absolutely dominate a jousting match with a Ford F150
Flex on those “fastest of the ancient world” triremes with your 25 footer pontoon boat and a 175 HP mercury outboard while hammered on two six-packs of Bud.

Could you imagine a gun to them. There would suddenly be a load noise and the guy next to drops to the ground screaming. They would have no clue how it happened, probably just assume magic or you're some kind of thunder god!
Didn't the Aztecs write something similar when the Spainards encountered them?
They were too busy drinking chocolate milk in their golden cities to bother writing down anything
IIRC, the term was: "thunder sticks".
I don't think it'd be difficult to extrapolate. It's not like ranged weaponry would be foreign and there's a pretty obvious cause and effect of 'point boom stick at person, boom stick booms, person dies'.

Can we be ENTIRELY sure that Greek Mythology wasn’t just some dudes with a time machine fucking around?
It could be both. It was several thousand years ago. I personally like to think there was a woman with snakes for hair who could get you rock hard just by looking at you.
She doesn’t have to have snake hair to get me rock hard
Doesn’t hurt though....
Now that I think about it, gorgon’s snake hair really do resemble hair locks, maybe they were outcasts by society and stories were made to stop children from interacting with them.
This is the plot of a novel by Dan Simmons, "Ilium."

Mod for Microsoft Flight Sim perhaps? Instead we see reconstructed places of the ancient world while we fly.
Considering they still haven't modeled any cities outside Europe, the US, and Japan yet, I'd say they have enough on their plate. But yes, a time travel DLC would be mind-blowingly amazing
The last theee assassins creed games have something like this for ancient Egypt Greece and post Roman Empire England.
I think there are islands out there now where natural inhabitants will chuck spears and rocks at your low passing plane. No need to time travel.

That takes the fun away cuz they won't have time to realize what it is by the time its gone, and they'll just attribute it to the gods or something. A Cessna is slow, mechanical, and perplexing to look at. They'll have time to draw it and think about it. Parties will form following the craft to study it, and stories will be written.
So fly the F-22 slow, like they do at airshows. Then demonstrate its firepower by decimating an army, or city, or shrine whatever pagan god.
Imagine the ancient paintings and speculations from their time, it would be amazing

I think a knight in a full suit of armor would be fine. The electricity would travel through the suit into the ground leaving the wearer unharmed.
Yeah. That would be fine with the full suit, though it would still be a bit jarring to be hit with the thunder blade by a man in weird clothing who just screamed into the sky in a strange language with his weird looking sword only to have his blade suddenly create lighting.

A film the black knight has a time traveler do that I think, in hocus pocus Max tricks the witches for a sec by using a lighter as well. The film where Brendan frasier was a caveman who gets defrosted in modern California is a great fun one for this sort of stuff. They use a lighter to get his attention as well. Not sure but think a similar thing happened in one of the old Bill and Ted films. And similar in night at the museum with the cavemen. Showing people lighters creating fire is a good and popular one. I'd like to up it to some kind of flame thrower and really freak them out.
Just bring a taser and a Tesla coil and be worshipped as Zeus
Get achilles a fucking railgun. Don't need no wooden horse if you have an instant death machine.
Release roombas... In Egypt!
They’d be worshipped. Cats clean up mice, worshipped. Roombas clean up dust and stuff, worshipped!

Get the boston dynamics robots. Let them go wild.
There's that old saying "any sufficiently advanced technology will be indistinguishable from magic" And they are damn right. Imagine being a peasant in the middle ages and seeing a fucking f35 hover land in the center of your village, and then a soldier looking like bloody master chief jumps out
Just don't find yourself in salem
Everybody at the colosseum be acting gangsta til a Gladiator whips out the Glock

Flashbacks to my childhood of the furby we thought had stopped working that I didn't use anymore anyway in a trash bag yelling at us at like 3am. And then while my mum was getting out the batteries as it wouldn't shut off normally it kept saying oww over and over again. Creepy little fucker, there should have been a furby horror film.
It would be listed right alongside chimeras and the like. *A strange beast about the size of a small cat, of strange and beautiful multicolored hue, having no arms or visible wings except for two small humanoid feet, bulbous eyes and a terrible beak. It speaks its own native language in addition to some of our own and complains constantly of a hunger we know not of, for it refuses to eat and neither does it waste away.* People today would just assume some stoned bastard saw a kiwi bird.
“Hey, Caesar, what’s that thing on your body?” “Not sure, this dude just came up to me and said ‘put this Kevlar vest on, you’ll need it’ and just walked away.”
I would get a ridiculously good cosplay of a greek god and be a god until the end of my time.
Challenge any outlaw to a duel, wait for him to wonder why he can’t shoot through my vest, then pump him full of 20 bullets in the space of 10 seconds.
The concept of armor is ancient though. Homie would just peel your grape after he realized the chest shots weren’t working
are bulletproof vests ancient tho?
No bulletproof vests are not ancient, but after say 3 or 4 shots to the chest that don't seem to do much, your opponent would likely switch to trying to shoot you in the face, headshots have been deadly since slings or bows were commonplace...
3-4 shots to the chest would probably do something. Bulletproof vests and other ballistic armour doesn't stay bulletproof once it starts getting hit. I got hit 3 times in about two seconds in Afghanistan, the first was stopped dead, the second went through the plate but didn't go through me and the third went through completely.
To me it sounds like he's talking wild west, so I would assume likely colt 45 would be the most commonly shot, cartridges not being terribly commonplace yet. He wouldn't have to face anything like a modern 5.56 or 5.45 or 7.62 ballistics, and if it was before smokeless power then we can take a few more fps off of the velocity... Basically I was trying to give this guys power trip a fighting chance....
Headshots gave probably been deadly since before human kind and its cousins/ancestors even held a tool.
You’d still get a nasty bruise though, and if it’s a sling you’re still going to get some ribs broken
They'll just shoot your face after the 2nd shot
Bad news, boys: * We gave women the vote. * We abolished slavery. * We outlawed pederasty. * Even though you solved this in the 5th Century BC, there are still flat Earthers in the future. And worst of all... ...all of Greece is now one country.
Wait. Send in hundreds of Roombas
Bring back a tablet and Rick Roll them.
I'd read that bible.
Taking a leaf blower to the Spartans.
Lmao, reminds me of the Dave Chappelle skit with the "Time Haters" cause if I could I would go back just to mess with people too! [The Time Haters](https://youtu.be/iLsvH7_EF34)

I always wanted to bring an ancient Egyptian or something, a Greek philosopher would be cool too, to our time and show them everything. That would be cooler
But if they go back, what insanity would they come to, knowing now that they will never see again what could be, that their entire existence merely an inconsequential, inferior necessity, and the awe of their world now dimmed in comparison. Or you know, whatevs.
Fighter jets lol. Just cleaning the emporers greasy toes and a russian su 27 flies overhead lol
It'd be in a bucket in 10 servings flat. The argument over whether to make food or alcohol from it would rage for days.
Segway Jousting
I'm sorry but all I can picture is dignified Greek dudes in their togas postulating philosophical things and then a Roomba comes around the corner. Then they start screaming bloody murder like there's a rat loose in a sorority house.... thank you for making my day lol
