Why don't you just eat all the apples, sure you'd have the shits for a few days but you'd be super smart and really healthy

god only commands adam not to eat the apples, hiding them or burning them is perfectly fine within the letter of the rules. if he ate them he would still drat humanity with eternal sin, but just hiding them catches god in a theological loophole

Any goon would just get his rear end beat within 24 hours but it's funny to read how y'all think you could change the course of history or stop Christianity from spreading (lol like that would be a good thing) or even further, trick God himself with your extensive knowledge of wikihow

Like people think because they got a B- in calculus that they could introduce advanced mathematics to 1AD Rome.

You would just be laughed out of the building with your stupid made up math with numbers and ideas that don't exist or make any sense whatsoever.

Unless you can single handedly derive the entirety of proofs and theorems up to and including Pricipia Mathematica, no one would or should listen to a word you are blubbering about and they would rightfully throw you in a lions den for corrupting the youth with subversive BS ideas that make no drat sense or better yet just whoop your rear end and toss you in a chicken coop where you belong

I'd introduce the printing press and maybe pasteurization and that's about it. Maybe some odd mathematical proofs that I remember.

If I can bring stuff back with me I'd bring back some fruits and vegetables they didn't have back then and be like some crazy rear end god of the loving harvest.

Maybe rape a young Jesus. It would gently caress him up a little and screw up his teachings so Christianity might take a slightly different course.

Of course maybe a young Jesus was raped.....

Sorry to burst your bubble but Japanese as a written language didn't exist then.

there is a good Sci-Fi novel series about this exact thing, except instead of one person it is the entire island of nantucket, and instead of 1AD its 1300 BC. kind of like "under the dome" meets this thread.
