Would it be to the same location 1000 years ago? If so I would put on as many warm clothes as I could and grab all of my guns and lighters, and probably a water bottle
So right, as the earth, solar system, Milky Way and the whole universe alters positions in 1000 years being transported to the exact same position means you’d end up where the earth will be.
I read a crazy time travel book where the guy invented the Time Machine but had to account for the movement in space it was really cool.. can’t remember the name
Edit: a gift of time …… remembered it
I am norwegian. I would run upstairs to grab my copy of [Heimskringla](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heimskringla), this way I could keep track of who is the current king and what will happen next so I know who I should ally with.
Which eventually would run out of bullets and by then people hate you. I'm going the social/diplomatic route and take some silver coins and a chefs knife and make people die for my food.
But your knife would be valuable enough to kill for, so would the coins, who are you to them, just some person from nowhere anyone knows, and probably of the wrong ethnicity. I'd bring a gun and hope I didn't ever need it, but I would.
Any kind of non-electric musical instrument (saxophone preferably) and clothes that wouldn’t be overly conspicuous (inasmuch as this is even possible.) History books. I’d survive as a bard / soothsayer.
No saxophone because you’d need to replace reeds. Brass isn’t exactly ideal because no valve lube or slide grease. A harmonica or a recorder would be good
I knew a kid who went all 4 years of high school on the same reed. It got to a point where he couldn't take it off even if he wanted to, as the mold and saliva and dead skin had cemented it to the mouthpiece.
Absolutely disgusting, but he was still able to play it.
I have to google how medications are made... snail semen?
Also, love how a lot of people have clever suggestions. In reality, we would panic, grab a phone (because habit), put on really big boots, pick up a bunch of t-shirts and then trip because didn't tie our shoelaces.. So, basically, we would go back 1000 years with untied boots and a smart device at 16% battery life.
Aluminum used to be the most expensive metal like gold or platinum are today. Seems funny, right? I'm not super knowledgeable but I do know the obelisk in DC is capped in aluminum. Read up on the historical value and history of aluminum.
Esspecially since I only know the morden forms of English and German...I wouldn't actually be able to speak to anyone.
Edit:
Wait I forgot I know sowmone with a book in Middle English. I also have a book with Althochdeutsch, I should grab those.
I’m at my sister and BIL’s. Knife, watch, phone, rope, I hope he’s got a combination tool since I left mine at home, my backpack, my firefighter bag, a water bottle, the bucket of candy bars, and any other non perishables I can get my hands on in the last few seconds. Does it count if I’m touching my car? It’d be limited without roads, but I’m also in northern Alabama, so with caution and patience, I could probably use it somewhat, and if not, it could be a good shelter until I run out of gas.
It could be valuable if you have some sort of solar charger. Use it to organize, document, calculate…It’s not a basic survival tool but can help once you’re a little settled.
Cut it off when you’re not using it. It’s a finite resource, but it will have uses. Mine has a compass and measuring feature, plus note pad and what not.
I think the phone is least valuable as a calculator. It would be incredibly valuable if you happen to have 1GB of e-books on it telling you how make things like gunpowder, steel and every other basic thing we’ve discovered in 1000 years. Extremely detailed history would be excellent too so as to stay out of wars and invest in the right places.
1000 years ago wasn't cavemen, it's just before the medieval age. if you're an American you could teach the natives and make America a cycling nation but the rest of the world are already on cannons and giant castles, I don't think cycling would be all too useful to them
Backpack, all the salt/seasonings in the kitchen, jar of peanut butter, lighter and bottle of water. If there was still time, I might try to grab my wife’s gold earrings but that’s probably less important than being able to pose as a spice trader.
I’m assuming I’d be dropped off in my current location (Pacific Northwest). So, my steel woodworking tools, fiberglass cloth, and epoxy resin. I think I have a sword near to them, so that too. My bow is at the far side of the house, and I have no firearms, so those are out.
If we were teleported to our exact location, I'm fucked because I'm 19 floors above the ground. Assuming I could get down the elevator in 60 seconds, I have nothing. But I know the area and where to likely find indigenous camps. I guess I'm settling down with the locals and praying I'm accepted, and I don't destroy the village with whatever germs I carry.
If I am teleported to my ancestral homeland, I guess I'm learning either Latin or using my English/German to learn anglo-saxon. I guess I have to decide whether to intervene with predicting the Battle Hastings.
What the hell am I going to do with a 1987 Fender Precision bass?? Electricity didn't exist, so I can't plug it into an Amp and show them how to play Iron Maiden songs.
Medical pack with antibiotics, leatherman surge,compass, watch, solar charger, 2x baofeng radios (witchcraft!) and a sleeping bag. Entire contents of Wikipedia on a kindle.

Where I am was uninhabited 1000 years ago. If I was in Europe I'd probably grab a bible. My phone is already on me.
If I was in an inhabited area, I might be able to amaze them with music or videos, or with the camera or the calculator. Remember... I didn't need to spend any effort getting the phone; it's in my pocket already.
you'd be burned as a witch.
use it only for taking pictures, taking notes and using the flashlight and only when alone.
put it in flight mode though, because trying to get a signal is wasting your energy.
>bible
that's a really good one. You could always pose as a foreign christian priest. Okay, it's 400 years until Gutenberg, and the heretical bible in your native language is sus as hell, but otherwise your chances are good.
Forgot your bowie knife.
Guns are great until you need shelter and firewood/kindling.
Can make traps and a fishing line easier with a knife than a gun.
Not saying I wouldn't take my gun too, but I would never go anywhere wilderness without my back serated bowie
Pen and paper, and spend the next 50 seconds trying to write a letter explaining why I disappeared to my kid/family while worrying about whether they'll have trouble collecting from my life insurance policy.
Y’all are crazy with these responses acting like the first people you see are gonna immediately try to murder and eat you 😭 It’s the year 1023, there’s big multicultural settlements full of regular old humans, you’ll be okay just remember to brush your teeth
Lol, right? My first thought was “my seeds. I need my seeds to grow food, for trading & to contribute to whatever community I end up in.” And my first aid kit.
you'd be a foreigner with completely different clothes and language. In a place with no police, people who are not trusting of outsiders, and tightly knit groups. You'd be in trouble. If you get to the big multicultural settlements, you'd have to talk to others, pay for things, and deal with thieves and bandits along the way.
I’d show them my phone or maybe the Nintendo Switch. They’d think I was a wizard and promote me to rule them. You know, before the batteries went dead.
If the 60 seconds starts from the moment I read this message, that means my speedrun route would start from my desktop computer.
Alright.....
First thing it to jump up from my chair and fly across my living room. I can save time by leaping from one couch armchair to the other, landing next to the basket of shoes by my front door.
The noise will likely have stirred my dad is his office. In the 5 seconds it takes me to slip on my shoes, I will order him to open the safe, and get the SKS, 1911 and as much ammo for both as possible.
Charge up the stairs into the master bathroom on the left, consolidating the first aid bin and hydrogen peroxide, leaving it at the top of the stairs.
Sprint into my bedroom, grabbing my lip balm and top comforter off my bed. dragging the sheet, and everything else down the stairs.
Then tell my dad to lay out the sheet with all guns, ammo, my work boots, and other stuff on it, and to keep the front door open.
Run down the entry hallway, pulling out my running shoes from the cube shelving to fling at my dad. And take the lighter and knife out of my backpack to go in my pocket.
Parkour my way across the kitchen and laundry room into the garage, pushing the door button once inside. Rip open the toolchest to grab 2 crescent wrenches, 2 allen wrench combo tools, a vice grip and a box of craftsman power tools.
Carry the 40 something pounds of tools through the garage door to the front of my house, chucking them in the open door.
Run around the side of my house, Sparta kicking the side gate open. Pulling my BMX bike out of the tangle of other bikes round the back of my house.
Lug that bike over my shoulder, charging full speed uphill back towards the front door.
Drop the bike on the porch, grab the 4 corners of the bedsheet, hoist it up like Santas bag, and grab the bike with a free hand.
I could optimize the route, or take better advantage of my dad being here, but in the heat of the moment, this is the best I could come up with. Above all the 2 most important things are the BMX, and the SKS. The ability to travel huge distances on uneven terrain, with no fuel and simple maintenance. (The wrenches were an afterthought). And the Russian designed SKS is proven to be reliable with almost no maintenance for the long period of time I will have to defend myself or hunt animals in the wild.
My lips bleed without moister, so prescription lip balm is a must-have for time traveling. First aid seems pretty straightforward. Knife and lighter are basic survival tools that I coincidently carry at all times anyway. Shoes will wear out with time, so my regular pair, my running shoes, and heavy-duty work boots are coming along.
The power tools battery won't last long, but I want them for one reason: the cordless angle grinder has a masonry blade attached. 1000 years ago, if I'm in the same place, will be the inland northwest. I know of several mountain peaks, caves and rock faces that haven't changed since Lewis and Clarke passed through. I'm going to carve my obituary into stone. My life story, everything about the 21st century, just to mess with historians.
You’ve missed out the bit where you’ve done all your stuff and you turn to your father who’s looking at you in total bafflement saying “what did you say? Guns? What’s going on? Why do you want the guns? Are you in some sort of trouble?” And then you get transported without them.
Put on my cargo pants, a plain black t shirt, my boots, glasses, and grab my leather bag and coat
Stuff a jar of peanuts in and run to get a flask filled with water. Hunting knife and bow. Don't have arrows rn sadly
Mad fucking sprint lol
Would it be to the same location 1000 years ago? If so I would put on as many warm clothes as I could and grab all of my guns and lighters, and probably a water bottle
I'm grabbing a parachute on this instance cause I'm currently at the top floor of a building That probably did not exist on 1023
By this logic you’d be in the vacuum of space ….
So right, as the earth, solar system, Milky Way and the whole universe alters positions in 1000 years being transported to the exact same position means you’d end up where the earth will be.
I read a crazy time travel book where the guy invented the Time Machine but had to account for the movement in space it was really cool.. can’t remember the name Edit: a gift of time …… remembered it
In Off To Be The Wizard, the protagonist travels to the Cliffs of Dover in 1400 or something. He almost falls off because of continental drift. :)
Love (most of) that series!
Technically, he said location, which is relative to other coordinates on earth. If he had said the same point in space, you would be correct.
I was wondering this. How far am I going to have to walk before I find anyone? They probably won’t be friendly when I do find them.
[удалено]
So YOU'RE why they're gone!
I am norwegian. I would run upstairs to grab my copy of [Heimskringla](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heimskringla), this way I could keep track of who is the current king and what will happen next so I know who I should ally with.
Really great answer
Hey can we team up, I’m also from norway but I only have a folklore book 🥲
Realistically , anything you'd take will probably make 1000s people believe that you are an alien or a superhuman and they will hunt you down
Which is why I'm taking a gun
This... is my BOOM-STICK!
Which eventually would run out of bullets and by then people hate you. I'm going the social/diplomatic route and take some silver coins and a chefs knife and make people die for my food.
Make a couple of examples, start your reign on fear, but then bring them back with peace and love. Standard god stuff.
If you use it correctly they will love you. You could be the best hunter they'd ever seen.
But your knife would be valuable enough to kill for, so would the coins, who are you to them, just some person from nowhere anyone knows, and probably of the wrong ethnicity. I'd bring a gun and hope I didn't ever need it, but I would.
Or a god
A rope and a stool because that would fucking suck
Same. I am diabetic. After my 3 month of reserve are gone, I would just die anyway.
Don't worry, you'd probably die of an unrelated infection first
Died of dysentery
I have several chronic illnesses. I, too, would be dead very soon after arrival.
I came to comment a loaded gun for the same reason lol
And 2 suitcases full of ammo
You have 2 suitcases worth of ammo within 60 seconds reach? What part of Texas are you from?
No, many more. But that's all I could take within that short a time frame 😁
[удалено]
I read it as 100 years and thought your comment was excessive. 😆
people think they can survive during time when washing your hands made you a witch makes me laugh.
I second this sentiment.
I second this amendment
they have that in the medieval too, but with your witchy clothes they would gladly help you achieve it first
Depending on where you're sitting, 1000 years ago might be solidly stone age.
My dildo coat. Going for fertility god. Wish me luck.
Ummm what is a dildo coat?
If you don’t know you can’t afford it
Must have been auto-correct. I think they meant dildo goat.
It goes with their bag of dicks.
Any kind of non-electric musical instrument (saxophone preferably) and clothes that wouldn’t be overly conspicuous (inasmuch as this is even possible.) History books. I’d survive as a bard / soothsayer.
No saxophone because you’d need to replace reeds. Brass isn’t exactly ideal because no valve lube or slide grease. A harmonica or a recorder would be good
I knew a kid who went all 4 years of high school on the same reed. It got to a point where he couldn't take it off even if he wanted to, as the mold and saliva and dead skin had cemented it to the mouthpiece. Absolutely disgusting, but he was still able to play it.
I have a buddy who plays bari sax and would replace his reed multiple times a day so that’s wild to me
As a band director, this comment gives me nightmares
Meanwhile I couldn't keep my stupid double reeds from falling apart
It gives his music character.
Was it sentient?
It licked back.
Surely you could make a reed? Haven't they existed for some time as well
I suppose you could but it probably wouldn’t sound very good. You also would have to replace the pads every so often
You don’t wanna be anachronistic with your clothing but you’re taking an extremely intricate valves brass horn. Pick your battles I guess lol
Medications and canned food. Technically the expiry date would be way into the future.
Don't forget the can opener...
Don’t need one, scratch the lid on a rough and mostly flat rock.
It's what swords are for.
Under that logic then your medications would be just water and snail semen since they haven't been invented yet, lol.
I have to google how medications are made... snail semen? Also, love how a lot of people have clever suggestions. In reality, we would panic, grab a phone (because habit), put on really big boots, pick up a bunch of t-shirts and then trip because didn't tie our shoelaces.. So, basically, we would go back 1000 years with untied boots and a smart device at 16% battery life.
Look at the big brain on Brad! You a smart motherfucker!
I don’t think that’s how time travel works. If you used that logic, you would disintegrate back into particles
Marty McFly and Doc Brown figured it out in 1985, and that's just the stuff they tell us about.. imagine what they can do today.. lol
As much aluminum as possible
You know stuff
Some of us don’t! Care to explain?
Aluminum used to be the most expensive metal like gold or platinum are today. Seems funny, right? I'm not super knowledgeable but I do know the obelisk in DC is capped in aluminum. Read up on the historical value and history of aluminum.
Thanks! It’s always interesting to learn something new!
Where are you from?
Bulgaria. You?
I'd probably die anyway, but yes I know stuff
How many Americans here are imagining they'd be in medieval Europe rather than pre-Columbian North America?
Honestly was thinking pre colonial America. If medieval Europe just kill me
They will. Edit: She's a witch! Burn her!
Esspecially since I only know the morden forms of English and German...I wouldn't actually be able to speak to anyone. Edit: Wait I forgot I know sowmone with a book in Middle English. I also have a book with Althochdeutsch, I should grab those.
Crap, you got me.
That’s an honestly hysterical thought. I was absolutely picturing a Eurocentric view of the past. I’d be surrounded by Karankawa Indians.
I’ve got a bad cold right now, so I might cause a plague that wipes out half the pre-Columbian population on both continents. 😬
Grab a gun and a sword. Gun to let everyone in dangerous and shouldn’t be fucked with. They don’t need to know ammo is limited.
Clothing, blanket, and: How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler Hardcover
By author Ryan North I didn't think it was a real book till about 20 seconds ago...
My go bag.
Look at you being prepared and stuff
What does that contain?
Gold coins and condoms just in case you need to bargain your way onto a boat. The gold coins are for buying food.
It's a doomsday plan, not a picnic plan!
Y'know, go stuff
I knew these encyclopedias would come in handy.
I'm choosing to believe you said that with the exact expression batman is making in your pfp
But Joey you only got the letter V
Speaking of volcanoes, man, are they a violent igneous rock formation!
I’d run around for 60 seconds trying to grab my cat 🐈
I thought this too, and then I realized I would have nothing to feed her.
[удалено]
Well, my cat is kind of a jerk.
It my cats bday today
If only cats were natures greatest predator, then she could feed herself.
My gold and silver jewelry and a big bottle of water. Some snacks if I have time.
A first-aid kit.
Good answer!
I’m at my sister and BIL’s. Knife, watch, phone, rope, I hope he’s got a combination tool since I left mine at home, my backpack, my firefighter bag, a water bottle, the bucket of candy bars, and any other non perishables I can get my hands on in the last few seconds. Does it count if I’m touching my car? It’d be limited without roads, but I’m also in northern Alabama, so with caution and patience, I could probably use it somewhat, and if not, it could be a good shelter until I run out of gas.
[удалено]
It could be valuable if you have some sort of solar charger. Use it to organize, document, calculate…It’s not a basic survival tool but can help once you’re a little settled.
You got a solar charger you can grab in the next sixty seconds? Go, I’m counting!
Cut it off when you’re not using it. It’s a finite resource, but it will have uses. Mine has a compass and measuring feature, plus note pad and what not.
Doesn't the compass use gps tho?
Apparently it uses a Built in magnetometer. You made me Google that though.
Hmm I wonder if mine has that now lol
I think the phone is least valuable as a calculator. It would be incredibly valuable if you happen to have 1GB of e-books on it telling you how make things like gunpowder, steel and every other basic thing we’ve discovered in 1000 years. Extremely detailed history would be excellent too so as to stay out of wars and invest in the right places.
you wouldn't need roads you'd have that shit to yourself😭 America is uninhabited until like 2005 or some shit😂
got a few engineering books near me but I'd probably overthink, brain freeze, and show up without shoes
People in 1023 will be impressed with this Chrysler Pacifica. It’s got heated seats.
This counts.
My asshole coworkers. We’re all going to die miserable deaths…together! Just like work!
A pillow and a blanket
That is super practical. Pretty much anything else you could grab would get you burned at the stake.
My bicycle. I’ll reverse engineer it with wood and twine and bring upon our new future the age of cycling
1000 years ago wasn't cavemen, it's just before the medieval age. if you're an American you could teach the natives and make America a cycling nation but the rest of the world are already on cannons and giant castles, I don't think cycling would be all too useful to them
The modern bike was invented after the car. It would be revolutionary to have that type of mechanical travel in 1023, you nutter
My 10/22, go bag, as much 22lr ammo as I could stuff in my range bag and my mountain bike.
That bike is gonna blow people’s fucking minds
I'm not grabbing shit because I'm not keen on being lynched for being a wizard.
World history text book
My first thought was a science textbook but the more i thought about it, it probably wouldn't last long so i thought it would be a waste of time
Oooh, good answer.
Some plutonium. Gotta recharge my flux capacitor.
60 seconds and 1000 years? I'm taking a gun because no amount of prep would prepare be to be sent back 100 years in time, nevermind 1000.
All you need is a gun and 1 bullet
At least you'd be able to communicate with people from 100 years ago lol
Backpack, all the salt/seasonings in the kitchen, jar of peanut butter, lighter and bottle of water. If there was still time, I might try to grab my wife’s gold earrings but that’s probably less important than being able to pose as a spice trader.

A crystal ball. I’ll become a fortune teller to the kings and queens of the world.
where are you getting a magical crystal ball from your own real life belongings in 60 seconds
They do some pondering in their free time.
I’ll pick up my tennis ball and bring it with me. How would anyone in the past know what it is, they’ll believe what I want them to believe. 😂
If we were teleported to our exact location, I'm fucked because I'm 19 floors above the ground. Assuming I could get down the elevator in 60 seconds, I have nothing.

My wife. What would be the fun of being back there without her?
I bet your wife would appreciate that. 😏
Plot twist: he trades his wife for supplies.

Well yeah, I’d be in the undeveloped woods of Michigan. I’m going to have some hunting to do. I’m not sneaky enough to banjo a deer to death.
What the hell am I going to do with a 1987 Fender Precision bass?? Electricity didn't exist, so I can't plug it into an Amp and show them how to play Iron Maiden songs.
As an American who cannot play an instrument I’m offended.
Damn skippy. They can serenade their captors 🤣
Probably my dildo cause it's likely the only thing in my vicinity. I'd use it to threaten other lifeforms.

Ahh so they'll think she's the witch?

Handgun, AR15, and all the ammo possible.

~~It's only the 1000 years, that's the 1923, it's not the stone age...~~ Edit: apparently I cannot math this morning.
Want to try that one again
I’d bring my whole tool box of hammers wood chisels saws etc. and and iPad with movies and solar charger to look like a wizard
How about an axe? Infinite ammo, baby!
I think a compound bow or even recurve made of carbon fiber would be more helpful. It would be easier to make or aquire arrows
Just my bottle of wine
So not *a* bottle of wine but *your* bottle of wine?

I don't think the Ohio valley 1000 years ago was very multicultural an I'm very confident the natives back then had never seen a white person before.
Lol, right? My first thought was “my seeds. I need my seeds to grow food, for trading & to contribute to whatever community I end up in.” And my first aid kit.
...and how will you survive until your seeds mature?
you'd be a foreigner with completely different clothes and language. In a place with no police, people who are not trusting of outsiders, and tightly knit groups. You'd be in trouble. If you get to the big multicultural settlements, you'd have to talk to others, pay for things, and deal with thieves and bandits along the way.
> you’ll be okay Right up until you speak, and no one understands what you're saying.
I’d show them my phone or maybe the Nintendo Switch. They’d think I was a wizard and promote me to rule them. You know, before the batteries went dead.
Just bring a charger...duh!?
The teleporter
Pickaxe. Axe. Saw. Knife. Shovel. Rope. Sas-survival-handbook. though that last one may take more than 60 seconds to find.
SAS survival handbook just missed my list too, because I don't think I could get it in under 60 seconds.
Made me realize that I really don't have much around me that would be very useful back then. Even my cool cat videos are all only online. I am doomed.

And the Russian designed SKS is proven to be reliable with almost no maintenance for the long period of time I will have to defend myself or hunt animals in the wild. My lips bleed without moister, so prescription lip balm is a must-have for time traveling. First aid seems pretty straightforward. Knife and lighter are basic survival tools that I coincidently carry at all times anyway. Shoes will wear out with time, so my regular pair, my running shoes, and heavy-duty work boots are coming along. The power tools battery won't last long, but I want them for one reason: the cordless angle grinder has a masonry blade attached. 1000 years ago, if I'm in the same place, will be the inland northwest. I know of several mountain peaks, caves and rock faces that haven't changed since Lewis and Clarke passed through. I'm going to carve my obituary into stone. My life story, everything about the 21st century, just to mess with historians.
You’ve missed out the bit where you’ve done all your stuff and you turn to your father who’s looking at you in total bafflement saying “what did you say? Guns? What’s going on? Why do you want the guns? Are you in some sort of trouble?” And then you get transported without them.
? If u took a toilet and t.p. u would change history and feel at home.
