He or they pronouns. I like science, nature, art and am trying to solve one of the hardest problems, the 'why does space and time exist and do fun stuff instead of being a boring blank void forever' or 'nothingness' problem, trying to invent new math to do so. It's really frikkin' hard so wish me luck.

Lots of other people have addressed this, so I won't repeat the whole thing. You can absolutely do disassembly work, it's just a pain in the rear.
But it's actually been done for Mario, since you brought it up:

And also Pokemon.

You must pick a point in human history before the 1950s to be spend the rest of your life in. What era and place would you choose?

You would still have the same age, gender, personality, skin color, etc. and you would be able to speak at least one local language and would know basic information of the era and place. Your family, social standing, and such would be randomly picked.

That's a difficult one. On one hand if I went to the early/mid Victorian era, it'd be pretty easy to re-invent some shit, and I wouldn't have to worry about having to re-learn reading in the local language, but on the other hand it's... the Victorian era.
Antibiotics isn't as simple as simply getting a fungus to grow in a medium (such as penicillin in cantelope): there can be bad byproducts that also need to be removed, and scaling up the growth to significant quantities can be a big problem. What miiight be easier actually is using viruses to kill bacteria, but you need access to good quality meshes. And industrialization also isn't as easy as some books make it seem.
I think I'd take one for the team and go back to some ancient mostly egalitarian (but still some excess goods to support specialists) queer friendly society guaranteed to not immediately get wiped out, and get them started on the scientific method early, and hope to butterfly/forewarn the worst shit away.

Cruise Knew Its Self-Driving Cars Had Problems Recognizing Children — and Kept Them on the Streets (theintercept.com)

When it comes to hitting kids, however, internal materials indicate the company’s machines were struggling to match the safety performance of even an average human: Cruise’s goal was, at the time, for its robots to merely drive as safely around children at the same rate as an average Uber driver — a goal the internal...

To the people and bots with zero reading comprehension: it literately says "the company’s machines were struggling to match the safety performance of even an average human"
The cars are not better than an average driver.

You are leaving tires everywhere. One recent study found tire dust pollution was the number one microplastic in the ocean. A different older study found it was number #2, which is still pretty bad. You almost certainly have tire dust floating around inside your body too. If they made tires purely out of rubber this wouldn't be such a problem, but they don't.
