    I’m either gonna bring a bunch of ‘For Dummies’ books to speed up development and get executed or make a fortune selling meth and get executed

      Lol … Roman Empire collapses 300 years before it’s time because of a meth crisis.

      And a copy of the army improvised weapons manuals.

      Jump start military tech by 1000 years or so right quick

        Six weights of charcoal, one of brimstone, and one of saltpetre. Done, you already advanced military tech by 800 years.

      The hilarious thing about the meth idea is that they’d run out and be centuries behind on having any clue as to how to get more.

      Unless those “For Dummies” books have expanded their catalogue since I’ve last looked.
