    Magnets and some copper wires baby! How do we mine up and create these wires and magnets? Lol we’re so boned. (Actually I’ve watched enough primitive technology vids that I might be able to resolve that one too!)

    Real talk I actually think it’s not a horrible idea to have like… a book on how to do permaculture on hand. While I doubt being sent back in time will happen, society collapsing enough that knowing how to sustainably farm food is actually a distant possibility. More than likely you’ll be dead in that scenario anyways

      copper would be the main problem, because there’s a reason “cuprous” is basically the same word as “cyprus”…

      Ironically iron is much easier to get your hands on than copper, it just requires some knowledge to turn into something useful. With copper you can just find it in a cliff if you’re lucky, yank that out and hammer it into shape with a rock.
