gun and bullets

Uranium and the watch, for time travel reasons. Gotta refuell the DeLorean and keep track of relative timelines.

The castle and either the gun with no bullets or the motorcycle would be the more responsible answer. If determined enough, you could eventually get it to where you could make bullets but you could also eventually get it to where you could refine compatible-enough fuel from organics or something.

If the DeLorean is the variety with the time machine and the time machine itself doesn’t need any special fuel, then that changes things of course.

But fuck it I’ll take the lsd and the vape.

How come I only have 5 bullets for the gun, but the 1911 has a total capacity of anywhere from 7 to 9, and maybe even up to 15? Furthermore, how come the bullets look like classically rimmed revolver cartridges, but are for this 1911? I think I might go for the gun, just because it either doesn’t work at all, or is maybe a really interesting piece of mechanical work.

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

Fuck all that shit I am bringing Dishwashers and Bicycles and starting a global feminist uprising.

(the bicycles are both for transportation and for powering the dishwashers)

That’s pretty brilliant.

Cort ,

I’d probably do a combo clothes washing machine & dryer over the dish washer since that chore takes way longer to do manually.

dumpsterlid ,

good point

Drivebyhaiku ,

Yup, right up to the victorian period wash day was just that… A dawn to past dusk slog where you spent a lot if time up to your elbows in water and sometimes caustics.

Medieval dishes were a much easier chore. Rince with water and place in sun to UV sterilize when able.

Why LSD and not magic mushrooms? I would certainly prefer being able to grow that shit instead of having a limited supply

Dab pen and LSD, I’m gonna have a great fucking time

What astonishes me most is that at least half of you are probably highly paid engineers that are debating this on company time instead of using your brainpower for actual problems.

I like it!

Also I choose spices for instant riches and laser for burning out the eyes of my enemy to solidify my identity as a magician. After that we can finally focus on growing weed and mushrooms because y’all know 5 tanks ain’t gonn last long.

Being unproductive is a form of radical resistance that transcends simply materially impacting your employer and their unrealistic expectations on your labor and extends into destabilizing the fundamental narratives burned into your brain by society about what makes you a valuable human and what the basic pursuit of happiness really entails.

I couldn’t agree more. However I do think the revolution would be more accessible with some punctuation now and then.

Tell that to Thomas Pynchon

Drivebyhaiku ,

Kinda surprised there aren’t a lot of people choosing the castle. Could probably donate that to the royal family for enough cash to get reasonably started and probably get awarded some kind of title or at least a court position with a generous salary.

10 jars of spices and the motorcycle. Selected properly and in big enough jars, I could become a very rich man selling those spices.

The bike I’d have an artisan painstakingly disassemble while documenting it for recreation.

It’s bound to have a battery, lights, alternator, and some semiconductors. Use them to bootstrap electronics.

The engine could be retrofitted to run off alcohol, or use it with steam. Don’t know how possible that is.

The springs would make for killer crossbows. Tire rubber, too.

Really, the motorbike is a mountain of treasure.

Gasoline to alcohol is not hard to do. Just the air/alcohol ratio.

BilboBargains , (edited )

I would take the bullets without the gun and the fuel without the motorbike. Then I would proceed to tell people about these mythical machines, forming the basis of a cult, bada-bing bada-boom, take over the world.

tino ,

Moog and LSD of course. Let’s party!

Good chance the upper class were already familiar with the spices. The LSD and Warheads candy on the other hand…

Natanael ,

Enough of the right spices could make you rich. The laser would make you famous

The watch and the gun. If Ash can figure out how to manufacture shotgun shells in medieval times so can I. I’ll also introduce the clock early and be praised for my genius

Shotgun ammo is really, really more basic than handgun ammo. The latter have higher tolerance requirements, the ammo requires fine machining and metallurgy not available in medieval times. Even reloading, you only get so many reloads out of a case before stresses start to cause failures in the casing. And ammo failures in handgun ammo can have catastrophic consequences.

Whereas a shotgun is a fancy musket. Shells are comparatively simple, and the requirements for the casing are a simple base that could be made by a competent brass-smith and some stiffened, waxed cotton.

In both cases, you’re going to be fucked finding or making primers. While you could eventually work out making black powder - again, sufficient for a shotgun but in no way workable in any modern pistol - primer explosive needs more complex chemistry than you’ll be able to work out. Primers and their placement are precision components.

You would be far better ignoring the handgun and bullets, and just build blunderbusses and canon. Those just need a good blacksmith and figuring out how to make black powder.

Exactly, also, anyone taking the gun and the bullets has obviously never used a handgun. Your chances of doing any damage is pretty low without a ton of range time, which takes bullets. Hand guns aren’t accurate at any kind of range so you’d make some loud noises and that’s about it. If you did manage to actually hit anyone, an Archer would kill you from way beyond your effective range and just take the gun and any remaining bullets.

The gun is the absolutely least useful thing on that list after the bullets.
