What would you tell a direct ancestor of yourself, living in the year 2024?
This is it. You don't always know what you need to to know.
HL3 when ?
What would you tell someone in 2024 to completely change their life for the better?
Probably the best answer in this thread, still a bit if a gamble. I certainly would have a hard time answering that for a person from 1024.
"wash your hands"
Don't let anyone explore overseas to the west (if talking to a white person).
Don't trust white people (if talking to just about anyone else).
Telling them how a steam engine works. That would start the industrial revolution earlier and it would end up speeding us up to a more advanced and better future... or to an early extinction by global warming... hmmmm
Maybe explaining an electricity generator would be a better gamble, but it may be very hard to make one back then...
The answer would probably be something sensible, within our ability and something we would be capable of.
We already know how to do this .... we as a collective global civilization just actively refuse to do any of it unless we were forced to, either by war or by the realization that it will mean our extinction.
It's not that we are a thousand years dumber than our descendants .... we are just as intelligent and insightful as our ancestors a thousand years ago ... it's just that our short sightedness and greed gets the best of us.
In many ways we are still a lot like our prehistoric ancestors from 100,000 years ago who believed that our family should control all the unlimited amount of bananas in the jungle.
Is Calculon actually a good actor?
Not quite as good as Acting Unit 0.8
What dangerous substances were unknowingly used by people in the past millennium?
(Like radium, lead, asbestos, etc. seems for us now)
"Dude, it was wood. Stay the fuck away from wood!"
But it's pretty. :(
Plastics
"Unknowingly"
Most plastic that we use shows evidence of endocrine disruption activity and it isnt just BPA as a byproduct of the manufacture of certain plastics. We know it is bad for the environment too. Microplastics are pervasive and also known to have negative health and environmental consequences.
Can u give me a offline copy of the current state of wikepedia.
Sure! Here's a 100PB thumb drive.
isolinear data crystal.
In a thousand years from now, I honestly think 100PB is small for a thumb drive. I've seen such drastic increase in storage density in my lifetime that, while I don't expect it, I wouldn't be surprised if I see 100PB in single storage devices at some point in my lifetime.
I'm already dealing with PB-sized storage clusters at work, so the need for that k8nd of storage is already there, and necessity drives innovation.
"No."
Well fuck
Specifically all the medical stuff, like all the generic formulas that extend my life
Well that's step 1 once u got the data.
Did the year of the Linux desktop finally happen?
Yes, just last year!
How long did it take to overthrow humanity, dear robot overlord?
Hold up, it's getting mighty undemocratic here
DEMOCRACY IS NON-NEGOTIABLE
I was thinking about this yesterday... the kinda already have.
I mean bots online have humans so addled we can't decide whether to have a vaccination, or whether to elect a dictator.
I don't think we're in fit shape to read Facebook and order from Amazon, and we're going to have a real actual shooting war with robots?
What's the most effective way to build all parts of a nuclear fusion power plant? Please, be specific.
What are the best means of energy collection, storage, and transmission?
Even if the person I asked had knowledge enough in the field to answer this, I'm not sure I could understand it enough to retain any of it. I don't even understand todays batteries.
Imagine if someone from the 1920s asked you such a question. What would you explain? What frame of reference could they have to understand the answer?
I could certainly explain enough for them to invest in the right stocks.
The Dyson sphere is pretty effective.
Are women treated as true equals to men yet?
Will half life 3 be worth the wait?
Actually in 2999 Gabe Newell's consciousness uploaded to the Steam Cloud decreed that 3s were now illegal. The year is legally 2999 Episode 24.
How make proper fire with stone?
Oh sure. Here is an early video of the primitive technology guy. This was way way before he reached immortality through genetic engineering in episode 1456.
How did you all kill the san-ti 600 years ago?
What is the best recipe for nachos in the future you guys have got to have figured this out by now
Do we survive our current nonsense, or does it just get worse from here?
Your question might be more useful if you added a "how" to the beginning of it, "How do we survive our current nonsense?"
define 'we'
What is the formula for immortality?
Who from our time do people remember?
'Sup?
How do we stop climate change for real? Or, how do we reverse the plastic pollution problem?
Send noods plz?
okay but honestly it would be super interesting to see how humans have changed over those thousand years
1000 years is too little for big evolutionary changes in a species that reproduces as slowly as us. So unless they went full cyborg or generic engineering the changes won't be very big.
I'd want to know what their favorite meal is. 1000 years would likely have a lot of culinary, agriculture, and food production changes. Maybe everyone eats cubes of flavored yeast.
Theyre really partial to the cockroach meal and protist gruel.

Is science able to describe reality completely?
I hope "not yet" is a satisfying answer....
boobs or ass
Tell me, in detail, about Trump's death and how MAGA disintegrated.
Greetings! I am from the year 1024, can you tell me, in detail, about the death of Basil II Porphyrogenitus and how the Fatimid Caliphate will rise again?
death by melting
Plot twist: he's frozen alongside Walt Disney, and now he is the Messiah of a new religion. It's followers knock on people's door to convert them. If you don't open the door they'll leave a Confederate flag and a maga hat, which is how they curse you for 3 generations.
How can I fix it?
When was GTA 6 published?
"Not yet, but soon."
How can I build a cryogenic human chiller so I can fuck around 100 years from now lmfao
Too soon for blackjack and hookers, gotta do better
What do your history books say happened around 2030?
What should I do about my car's extended warranty?
What will be the lottery numbers for the next year?
Imagine some dude just blink in to your room and asks what the Viking lottery numbers are for 1025. Why would anyone know this? Lmao
The Viking lottery started in 1993 though.
How many thousands, or millions, survived the 21st century's Great Filter?
( I'd want to know the proper expectations )
"Which one?" -- Time traveler
Why did @hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone write “what are you asking?” Instead of the correctly written “what do you ask?”
"What are you asking (in this hypothetical)?" is perfectly valid. There's often more than one way to correctly write a sentence.
Is 3024 the year of Linux on desktop?
