Okay so here's the scenario, you somehow go back in time to let's say 1300 A.D.

How much power could you accumulate?

Would you be burned at the stake as you have a funny accent?

Would your modern ideas and thought process be too much for the simple minds of back then?

If you could bring back one item that could give you even better chances of dominating the world what would it be?

Let's try to get all this stupid details out-of-the-way, focus on fun. Don't tell me how it wouldn't work just answer the fricking question you savages

lots, but I wouldn't do it. People in power back then didn't last long.

no

not for the upper class and the educated ones.

If I had to try and take power, I would bring a plastic surgeon with the necessary tools to make me look exactly like whatever the depiction of God/whatever they worshiped commonly looked like at that time.

By the way you can't time travel to the past.

Is that the dark ages? Time of the plagues?

frick that.

Power was reserved for royalty back then. Scientific ideas had to be introduced slowly, so that's a no go.

Umm...I got nothin.

well it seems that you want to unlock the secret to time travel on to go back and get the plague so it is lost again forever.

Where in particular am I going? Anywhere but Europe and I probably last all of a week...and even in Europe I'd probably be screwed. Too tall, I wouldn't smell bad like everyone else and even if I landed in England the language would still be real different.

just go to a whorehouse right before you leave and pretend to be mute once you arrive, problem solved.

How about going back to 1840? I could use my knowledge to acquire the property and rights to most of the land that created the California Gold rush. Then I'd buy most of what is now San Diego and travel back to the future. I would have a pristine ranch in one of the best climates in the U.S.. And be a trillionaire.

After a week of no hot showers and no deodorant, I'm sure you would smell like shite like everyone else.

I'd go even further back bang a neanderthal and be the missing link in human evolution. All of you would be formed in Eddie's image, the age of consent would forever be 14

As long as I can bring a tank and a few high powered rifles I think I could live in opulence for a little while at least.

a tank of what?

ETA: ohhh a tank.

but you couldn't operate it by yourself, and even if so me and some other peeps would just sneak up and build fires around and underneath and sweat you out.

I would travel back to 09-21-2001 and buy $100,000 worth of AAPL at $14.68.

Idk, I think it'd suck. I don't really know how I would "rise to power" using whatever knowledge I have now. All the cool inventions we have now wouldnt' matter because even if I went to the smartest dude around he probably couldnt' build any of it. It's not like I'd be bringing in a million bucks with me so I'd still have to find a job and work like everyone else.

Man I'd be so boring in 1300.

What a shitty year to go back to.

All the power.

Of course not, I'd correctly predict an eclipse that I just happened to know about.

My ideas would be "I should have all the power. Cause I know magic". That seems pretty easy to understand.

A deck of cards, so I could do magic and show them magic.
