- Being dropped 500 years ago into your ancestors’ community.
- Being dropped 500 years into the future in your community.
You have a day to source some clothing appropriate to the time period. Unfortunately, that’s not enough time to learn a dialect.
Scenario 2 is where you would be outed as a time traveller.
Scenario 1 is where you would be outed as a witch.
Not sure witch would happen first.
500 years into the future. Far easier to adapt and hopefully the English dialect hasn’t changed severally or devolved into random internet jibberish.
languages change over time but you can easily pretend to be mute
1 - pretend while you learn the language
2 - you’re fucked, future tech cured this centuries ago
I mean this seems like an easy answer to me no? People in the past wouldn’t suspect you’re from the future, they’d think you were posessed or something. People in the future would be much more likely to think of time travel, plus they’d have records of old accents and stuff.
Time travel to the future is interesting but not harmful. Time travel to the past is disastrous. But no one had concept if it do you’d be free to overwrite the future.
I wouldn’t make it with the Vikings man. I wouldn’t be outed as a time traveler but I would die
Is this like that “the 90s were 10 years ago” effect? The viking age was 1,000 years ago. More, really.
500 years ago the world had been circumnavigated
Oh fuck me I didn’t process the 500 year mark when writing this. In that case I’d probably just starve
Nah. You’d die of smallpox.
