Pons_Aelius, to asklemmy in In which scenario would you last longer before being outed as a time traveller?

I have some bad news for you...

In fact, between 20-25 per cent of those we know to have been executed for the crime of witchcraft were men. In what is now Ukraine, Russia and Finland, up to 80 per cent of those accused were men.

He does for this in.

Yes, there is a definite similarity there.

For real shits and giggles:

You get dropped exactly where you are now, just 500 years ago. All the European descended people not living in Europe are (very likely) in for a bad time.

We have an idea what 1523 English sounded like.

In the early 2000s the Globe in London did productions of Shakespeare in the original pronunciation.

Here is how the opening of Romeo and Juliet would have sounded.

Ars Technica

They have been great for a long time.

The comments section there has some serious subject matter experts on a wide range of technology.

Pons_Aelius, to asklemmy in Which books have the worst video adaptation?

Surface area of the earth: 510,064,472 km²

So at any moment ~255..000.000 km² of the earth is hit with solar radiation. I think we have a while before it becomes an issue.

If you are lucky and have a eucalyptus near by they work for all phones.

Not if you are a plant.
