Edit: My bad for the multiple posts. I think I deleted all of them. Lemmy is a little janky on mobile.
Would we even be able to communicate with anyone? Despite it being an English-speaking country, the language has seen a major shift in the last thousand years.
If language wasn’t a barrier, I’d probably completely screw up history. I’m descended from both Scottish and Norwegian families so it would be tough to pick a side. Once I did, well I’m a bit of an expert on trebuchets with some experience in blacksmithing so I’m sure I could make some friends pretty quickly. Add in some knowledge of electricity and maybe I could even make myself out to be a wizard.
I would probably try to “invent” something that I already know how it works in the future/present. I would either partially mess it up and be labelled as a lunatic and probably die, or succeed and be labelled as a witch or whatever and probably die. Bottom line is I’d probably die lol
@ProvokedGamer i would have a nice time making new friends
I’d probably join a monastery, because that’s where the knowledge and beer should be. And then I’d try to explain the value of hygiene, should save a lot of lives
Good answer. I’d be useless as a peasant. The nobility is probably not going to give me a job, and even if they did, I wouldn’t like working for those fuckers. I could try to become a craftman’s apprentice, and maybe some of my education might be useful, but this also seems shit and hard, and they don’t just take anyone anyway. Monks would probably let you in more easily. My Latin is terrible, but just my overall education would probably be at least somewhat useful. Monks do all sorts of different stuff, I’m sure there’s something I could do.
