QOTD #00056: “If you traveled back in time, what modern invention would blow medieval humans away?”
How would you like it if you could go back in time and freak out a bunch of medieval people? They'd either burn you at the stake or treat you as a god. What would you choose to show them?

What's cool about me!
I'd double-shock them with an airplane - on a camera!
"So if I were to travel back to the Middle Ages, a modern invention that would blow them away would probably be, like, an airplane. If I were to show them an airplane, they'd probably be like, "What is that? How is it possible that it can go in the air? How is it possible that it's safe, that you can fly in it, go up in- literally in the sky?" So, I would definitely show them an airplane - on a camera. Even on a camera, that would be - They would be blown away. So, yeah."

Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce - headphones.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce the headphones. In the future we are able to [shrink] tiny little humans into the headphones so they can talk to you. "Pooh.""

Artificial Intelligence would probably surprise them.
"I think the one thing that would probably surprise everyone in the Middle Times would definitely have to be the A.I."

Tampons for the medieval women. Good invention.
"I think a modern-day invention that would blow medieval people away - for the women - tampons. Like, what a game changer are tampons? Good invention."

Laser pointers would end wars in the Middle Ages.
"If you - If I traveled back to the Middle Ages, I think the - you know, there's a lot of things, you know, like, oh, a water purifier, all these crazy vehicles, everything. I think the thing that would make them go insane the most is a laser gun, like, little toy laser - a laser pointer even. Like, I think you could call somebody - you could end wars with a laser pointer in the Middle Ages because they would not know how to do anything about it."

Ancient people's hearts would stop if they saw an iPhone
"Cell phones, easily. That would - I'm pretty sure they'd have a heart attack if I showed them an iPhone."

People back in the day can't believe...it's not butter!
"So, you know how they used to churn the butter back in the day? I would just pop up and be like, "Can't Believe It's Not Butter.""

I'd make their lives easier with a car.
"If I could travel back in time to the Middle Ages, a modern invention that will blow the medieval humans away would have to be maybe a car. I was gonna say cell phone, but then I was like, "Then I'd have to invent electricity and all that," yeah. So, it was a no. I'm thinking a car so they wouldn't have to walk around all the time. Everybody travels together, it's safer, you know? They didn't have footwear, I don't believe. I could be wrong. I'm very young. But yes, it would have to be a car."

I'm gonna go with Hinge or Tinder for medieval people.
"You know, I don't know why this came to mind, but I would definitely say Hinge or Tinder. Like, imagine just being able to, like, see people from around your village just trying to, like, get some. I feel like they would - they- they wouldn't even comprehend what was going on. They'd be like, "You guys are so advanced that you have the energy or the bandwidth to even be doing this right now. Like, we're just trying to survive." Um, but I guess that's a ton of technology on top of technology that would just - Yeah, I'm gonna go with that one."

Medieval people (and I) can't fully comprehend the iPhone.
"I think the obvious answer would be the iPhone because I know that they could never comprehend what an iPhone is, what it's capable of. I mean, even I can't sometimes. It's just crazy. It's just crazy how much technology has advanced, and I'd know that they would be blown away."

Medieval people would by shocked by the water bottle.
"So, traveling back in time to the Middle Ages, this modern invention that would blow medieval humans away would be - ready for this? - the water bottle. I'm telling you, they'd be, like, so shocked. They'd be like, "What is that material around the water that holds in spherical shape?" And - is this a sphere? Cylindrical. Whatever it is, they'd be shocked by this thing."

Heating food in a microwave would blow humans away.
"I think a microwave would blow humans away because to them, maybe it's like putting food in a box and then it heating up or making popcorn or something like that. And I think that would blow humans away. So, yes."

I'd blow medieval people away with vapes and Four Loko's.
"I think if I traveled back in time to the Middle Ages that vaping devices would definitely blow medieval humans away. And probably Four Loko's. That's what I'd show them."
