I’d give laser pointers to Neanderthals. Even if they did figure out some useful application for them (maybe hunting?) they’d run out of batteries eventually.
After further consideration, I would also give them a Solar-Powered TV that plays nothing but a Video of Hatsune Miku doing Fortnite Dances
Rubiks cube.
Sharpies. Think off all the confused scientist that have to explain sharpie marks under acient paintings.
[Solar powered strobe lights.](https://www.amazon.com/Solar-Strobe-Warning-Light-Flashing

I always thought it would be funny to take aluminum foil back in time to see the reaction. I mean, imagine if a time traveler showed you a roll of platinum that they use to bake cookies. That’s basically what aluminum was for almost all of history.
Cool Ranch Doritos
Nuclear bombs
Steam engines, clockwork and balloons. Hopefully they turn into a steampunk society.
To fuck with? Contraceptives, obviously!

Let’s give some ancient peoples a couple books on modern maths and calculus. Really fuck with the development of tech.
Fuck yeah, just give the ancient Greeks hindu-arabic numerals and watch them lose their minds. Teach Zeno calculus and watch him try to prove it wrong.
Pretty sure the greeks knew about the hindu number system, they were neighbours for centuries. They just thought zero was of the devil and geometry was better that algebra and never adopted it.
Walkie-talkies would be fun. They’d figure out how to use them pretty quickly and what they could use them for. At the same time they’d be completely like magic to them.
Nuclear bombs.
That would fuck with them so hard.
Antibiotics
Talk about butterfly effect lol. I wonder where we would be today if antibiotics were readily available before plagues became plagues.
Me, too. That’s why I wanna do it!
A copy of Windows Vista
Give them a 1/2 meter cube of stuff. Tell them its a device that summons god. Only true believers can do the ritual, heretics will die.
I pretend to pray, my partner flies in with the FG 204, 2nd Edition Ver. 2.31, I leave.
Its just a block of plutonium. Trollolol
(Sorry, my evil alter ego took control, I wouldn’t actually do that, that’s so fucking chaotic evil)
