Take the gun, and shoot Toby 5 times.

[-] SadSadSatellite@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I would like a gun, but not that gun. Gunpowder has been around a long time. Something simple and robust with a long barrel like a mosin could be modified to work as a rifled flintlock if cased ammunition is too hard to replicate. People made some pretty intricate metalwork though, if you happen to be in a place near a jeweler, you might be able to get some cases made.

Maybe have a blacksmith reverse engineer a rifle, get some folks behind you and overthrow some lords. Kill the old money, set up a government for the people, keep manufacturing as many simple rifles as possible, sail to america and give them to the natives and tell them to shoot at boats before they get too close.

Problem is, I don't speak any of the useful languages. So maybe the Moog and ten bottles of cinnamon would be better. At least I could entertain myself until I die of dysentery.

Motorcycle and Moog. The motorcycle will take me to a forest, and then the parts can be useful for making sharp stuff or tying things or starting fires and I'll just camp forever and play rad tunes. Make a cart with the motorcycle wheels to carry animals or foraged supplies, build a cabin and just tinker forever.

Might get lonely out there. Should probably try to pick up chicks before my hog runs outta crank.

Edit: wait how do I carry a keyboard on a motorcycle

dab pen and the warheads, please.

I'll get wicked high and make people eat them for my amusement. They'll be soooo wrecked.

Then you could have the 4-voice polyphony to really impress the serfs!

The Uranium and the single hit of LSD. Time for the magic to happen.

[-] SomeGuy69@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

128kg uranium in my pockets

[-] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Might be able to use the uranium to heat water for a steam turbine generator.

[-] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 3 points 8 months ago

Steam turbine generator is not an easy task to make with medieval technology

[-] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Sure, but someone else was wanting to use the motorcycle engine as a generator. I feel like this is more practical since you don't need to figure out how to get more fuel. Not that I have any idea what to do with a generator in that time period either way.

[-] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

With a diesel engine you could fuel it with biodiesel made from cooking oil, sodium hydroxide(an impure solution likely sufficient for our purposes could be obtained from wood ash, this was normally used in soap making) and methanol(obtainable by distillation and used as early as ancient egypt)

Also certain non diesel engines can run on ethanol, including some motorcycles made for brasilian market that can run on E100 that is 94.7% ethanol (rest is water) so fuel for that engine could be distilled with medieval technology

Why does the motorcycle have to be gas? Much easier to generate an electric charge than it is to have a worthless gas engine especially since a Smith can likely help craft a rudimentary electric motor that will work with any of the windmills.

If I can befriend a local blacksmith, motorcycle would probably be pretty useful. Someone smart should be able to reverse engineer it.

[-] tino@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Moog and LSD of course. Let's party!

None.

I iz ded.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

If I can't have marjoram, is it even worth going to the middle ages?
