It's so easy how is everyone so stupid. I'd invent the train afterward and drive around everyone saying "you're so fucking stupid I'm not even good at this and I did it".

    But you cannot make guns without steel, coming back to furnace issue. Also I sincerely doubt you know how to make saltpeter from bat droppings lol

      Do you seriously think I wouldn't invent guano islands and monroe doctrine imperialism to invade those islands? That would be like day 3 while everyone else is busy dying of infections.

        Yeah, I do, you even think it’s islands instead of caves and manure latrines. Also you would be just as vulnerable to infections, shoveling shit:)

          If I lived in the time of the Black Death, I would simply invent penicillin.

          No no, you're just like the entirety of the ancient world. Bat guano means dangerous exposure to airborne plague. Guano islands are what smart guys like me know about. I would have gone to the Tang Dynasty and said "my way is so much better why are you this bad".
