The spices and the laser pointer? You can just pretend to be a spice trader and when needed, blind people to escape.

The dab pen and magic keyboard were tempting, but De. Wesker made a good point ab out witchcraft.

Motorcycle might be cool because you can melt it down or disassemble it once you run out of fuel.

Another important question is Medieval times where?

That's why you pick the motorcycle.

Still makes a big difference. China? Bottle rockets are just like ok, you have some bottle rockets. India? Spices are just okay, you have some spices. India might appreciate the keyboard more than Europeans, like “nice, a versatile harmonium!” vs “OMG Satan” like you might get in Europe. North America and you might be able to convince a tribe that you’re a shaman with Super Mushrooms using the LSD.

The motorcycle had better be a dirt bike or it’s not going to be of much use except maybe in China or where there were vestiges of Roman roads.

Sorry, I just think the moog and the motorcycle are the correct answer no matter what. Everything else was just distractors for petty minds.

[–] sanguine_artichoke@midwest.social 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

the firearm and bullets have distinct utility.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If you wanna be a dick I guess. Unlikely most of us would last long there but if I could get a carving of me riding with my hair in the wind and a moog strapped to my back and some folklore that lasted for centuries, that would be worth it.

Hunting and self defense is not about being a dick.

As far as wanting to go down in history, not sure how that helps you after your demise.

[–] PuddingFeeling907@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hunting is about being a dick though.

The scenario here is that you have been transported back to a relatively primitive time. It’s unclear that you’d have the support of any sort of society or access to agricultural products or any sort of food source. So, it could be a survival scenario. You seem to be confusing modern “hunting for fun” with subsistence and avoiding starvation.

Medieval times aren't exactly known for their paved roads.

Motorcycle can run off distilled alcohol if you're crafty.

I think no one around here realizes how fucking insane a 5 W laser pointer is, it's not blinding people level, it's more like, don't shine it at anything white or you might blind yourself level.

For reference the highest laser security classification starts at 0.5 W.

Maybe I'm exaggerating here but 5 W is definitely a lot.

So yeah, I'm down with the laser pointer.

That's a good point. If it's strong enough to start a fire, that's serious power. The only issue is running out of battery power.
