If I’m coming back before the iron age, electricity isn’t my biggest concern. All you need for a magnet is two pieces of iron to rub together, and copper is one of the easiest to work metals on Earth. Indigenous people here in Michigan were mining and working copper over 6000 years ago. Your dynamo doesn’t need to be good, it just has to prove the concept.
In this case though, it’s a community note on xitter, so it’s definitely there as whataboutism
Rotating slide projector is also an easy one 😉
The downvotes are for the whataboutism
A copper coil, a magnet, and a repetitive source of motion is not that hard. You’d have to go really far back not to have access to a mill, and even if you did, it wouldn’t be that hard to invent a hand crank. The question is how you make the electricity useful. I think a simple heating element is probably the best option. Show them the river cooking their food, and the benefits should be obvious
Data preservationists are beating back the coming dark age. They’re heroes.
My favorites
Horseplay
Sometimes a settler state plays a little too rough with the people it’s occupying.
‘Genocide’
Quotation marks give the so-called deaths of 30,000 people the sarcastic skepticism they deserve.
Apparently the thought of him being a Muslim is too much for them
Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.
I like Blue Turtle especially! They’re an artist that does fantasy animations over long chill playlists
