>>What will you write on the sheet of paper?

Kill yourself.

>What will you put inside the box?

A gun with 2 bullets (incase I miss my brain with the first shot)

I'd write:

If there is no government, rape is legal. You can now finally live your dream harem, but you first need power. But look, you still know how to read! Which means that you have kept your modern intelligence and your 160 IQ so you re-derive all of mathematics, philosophy and politics and then rule the world. Then enslave as many women as you can my main man. All you need for this is in the box.

>What will you put inside the box?
Swiss army knife

GOAL NOT ACHIEVED
TRY AGAIN
RESPAWN IN 3,2,1....

>this is an instant loop, until you unlock the goal

Wait, 50 cm are bigger than I thought lol. Swiss army knife and then fill the rest of the box with diamonds and gold.

Maybe with a bunch of shiny shit I could fool some tribe into thinking I am God's chosen one and start my own religion, in which it is a sin for women to not have sex with me.

>REWARDS
>minimum goal: you travel back to the present and receive 1 billion dollars
>maximum goal: you are allowed to travel in the distant future where humanity has colonized the galaxy and will be rewarded 1 thousand galactic credits

Write on the sheet of paper: Dude Weed
*fill box with weed*
LMAO

I'd write down nothing because my memory would be erased and I wouldn't understand anything. I'd last as long as it took for some animal or human to take advantage of my fragile state.

the minimum goal would be pretty much impossible
>no memory, meaning no knowledge of written language, or spoken language, or complex thoughts
>which mean only drawings could be put on the paper
>since bigger brains were the norm during the time, you'd be at an intellectual disadvantage compared to your peers
>whatever you put in the box or drew on the paper your stone age peers would be better at exploiting

You wouldn't understand the gun

your memory is erased but you are still smart so you could start with establashing some sort of code or alphabet and then write a message in said code or alphabet.

look into how brain size has been decreasing in the last 50 000 years

No way with anything less than genius level could someone do this, even then its a stretch

>MODIFICATION
>the time travel erases your long term memory. you can only remember things that happened two minutes before the travel
>you can choose what kind of information you want to be given during those two minutes
>box stays the same

I can't read so what's the point

Wait, how do I retain language?

The 10 commandments

>no memory
>paper with writing
id bring a vial of mercury and hopefully id drink it

The wolf has a bigger brain then the border collie. Is the wolf smarter then the border collie? Which one functions best in a civilization?
A wolf and a border collie can breed, one has the genetic inclination to herd sheep, the other will never learn no matter the training. The humans 50.000 years ago would not function in our society today. Even though they had bigger brains.

>Sheet of paper.
See image.
>Box.
A 30 cm ruler, an thermometer (In Celsius), a barometer, a binocular, and magnets.

hieroglyphs describing basic hygiene and how it's important
also try to explain the recipe for soap
and a short one saying fire + meat = good

In the box,
Soap, flint, knifes, guitar strings

A stainless steel socket spearhead and a flint

With a drawing on each side of the paper on how to use it.

Means absolutely nothing. All we have to go on are skulls, we don't know how the actual brains looked and which sectors of the brains were to most developed.

Our brains got around the volume problem by making them wrinkly as fuck.

I'd write on the paper what my life used to be and who I was and that I traveled back in time.

I'd put a tablet with enough mophie power packs to last several years. The tablet will contain all modern knowledge so I can relearn everything I forgot.

Put a laptop/tablet with solar panels and a solar charger in the box along with a gun and some ammo. On the paper I would draw simple diagrams to show myself how to set up the solar panels and connect them to the tablet as well as how to turn it on and navigate. The tablet would obviously be filled with encyclopedic knowledge like Wikipedia, a fuck ton of books, and instructions for making tools, farming, construction, and medicine and sanitation. Of course the tablet would have to load a language and literacy tutorial on startup.

I wouldn't write anything. I'd achieve the minimum goal do to my increased intelligence and my muscular build.

Pictographic instructions on how to plant seeds and the box is full of seeds for modern domesticated plants. With my big meaty tomatoes and opium poppies i can conquer the world

What would be the point? With no memories i wouldn't be able to enjoy how cool time traveling to the pass would be.

Aaaand you dead.
Modern tomatoes dont produce the same product through their seeds because they are hybrids.
After a year of a good harvest, in case you achieve one because you are an idiot which dont know how to seed and grow a plant, the next year your people are gonna rebels because
Last year big tomatoes
This year shit tomatoes
He is a bad king
Kill him!
Gg wp
I would take a lighter, a knife, seeds of triticum dicocum, indica (get high), sativa (get high, clothing and nutritius seeds) yeast for yoghurt cheese beer and wine
Rizzla papers and some fine buds
And a motherfucking big ass CROWN to show my man-god heritage to this monkeys

The paper sheet would be something like explaining how to use all this to a 3 year old

See ya nerds

I assume the memory erasing would include any ability to read, however my logic would be intact to process incoming information and obtain knowledge!

Within the box I would bring a knife!

On top of the box I would tape the paper on which I would draw basic instructions on how to open the box, access the tool and use it!

I would surely figure out it can cause damage via pain and that it can cut, so even when the knife is no longer useful I would look to replace it with something that can do the job!

I would draw water and instruction how to drink it, and some instruction on eating meat and leave out instruction on eating plants to avoid poisoning!

Chances of survival may not be high, expectations of building a civilization would depend on my survival and reproduction!

If I can bring a mechanical device within the box then I would draw on the paper instructions on how to access it. The device would be a some type of smart phone device which I could press one button and it would give me video instructions!

Maybe going back in time that far I would be the only primitive human!

In this simulated scenario I would have to rely more-so on my self as opposed to anything I bring!

>You are given the opportunity to die in the wilderness of 50.000BC
Thanks but no thanks.

I write an entire full explanation in how to build society and survive in really fine print so it fits on the page. In the box I put a microscope and an explanation on how to use it so I can read the note.

>50,000 BC.

W-what are you gonna do with diamonds and gold?

>not aiming for the spinal cord

>aim for the spinal cord
>get paralyzed
>die due to a massive infection, thirst and frostbites
The brain stem is a good place to shoot. Not the spine (how are you even going to shoot your own back?)
A safer way would probably be your heart, but it's also going to be massively painful and totally uncomfortable.

>what do you put on the paper
The basic details of how to get metal from ore
>what do you put in the box
I guess some modern gmo seeds?

What's the worth of 1 Galactic Credit in 2017 USD$?

I would try to cram as much basic survival tips as possible. And try to give civilization survival tips do and don'ts. In the box, Small tools to begin an agriculture boom.

If this is not the promo of a survival RPG i am going to be disappointed.

In the paper goes hitler photo so when people find it after 50.000 years they shit briks. In the box goes a laser pointer i am going to troll very big cats.

bout tree fiddy

This is stupid, humans back then were incapable of reading.

An assload of flash memory devices filled with practically all human knowledge and a nuclear powered computer to read them.

>>What will you write on the sheet of paper?
"Don't look into the box"
>What will you put inside the box?
The sheet of paper

A bible, to keep my sanity. Tablet loaded with porn, and a copy of wikipedia, powered by hand crank charger. US army survival guide. Material to help me understand words. Some tools, water filter and
survival things.
I assume il be able to read

With no memory of how to read, what a box is, hat I put something in the box, that a box opens....

I think I'll just pass on this trip.

>your scientific knowledge is 0
Sure feels good to be an engineer and not a scientist :^)

Why the fuck would you write anything on the paper? Just throw a fucking book into the box and you have thousands of pieces of paper written by someone that isn't a complete brainlet.

I'm assuming memory deletion and scientific knowledge loss does not mean I can no longer read, or know how to be a normal human, because thats retarded as there would then be no difference between me and the average homolet.

I like this anons idea, but I would probably steer away from it because the panel or the tablet will eventually die or malfunction.

My box: Books on survival and simple engineering. A lot of antibiotics and general first aid gear. A strong hatchet, and knife. A reliable pistol and every spare space of the box filled with ammunition.

I find the biggest tribe, shoot the leader in the fucking head, then grow my harem.

Oh, and I forgot a couple of lighters and lighter fluid, and flint for when I run out.

>all your memory will be erased
literally nobody would survive this not even people from 50000 years ago. u wud b lik a bb ecept u cuudnt lrn aswel
what location

Moron

So what you're saying is the paper is useless because I will lose the ability to read

Can I keep my reading ability? If so, box contents:
>Printed out instructional of several Primitive Technology videos, including basic farming, hut-buildling, and a bloomery
>Field guide for how unprocessed metals look
>Instructional on how to create primitive batteries
>Instructional on a hydrostatic generator
>Information on both AC and DC power production.
>Basic anatomical/nutritional theory
>Germ theory (since I would've forgotten not to go hump the first frumpy cavewoman with a slightly-less-filthy ass I see.)
>Pocketbook of what shit in this time period is edible
>Machete
>Bundle of paracord.

On the sheet of paper I write: Construct a fire first, then get to work on a home; the flames will keep away any predators in the event you get sleepy before the house is complete. When you have your home set up, search the book for edible plants and begin to grow them. Attempt to catch animals near the river if you are hungry; avoid going into the forest when it's dark and when you do not have your machete on your person. Position your generator in the water, but forge copper strands and seal them in clay tunnels to connect to the battery array near your home. This will provide energy. See the instructionals on lightbulbs to gather the appropriate materials. When you have acquired followers build a town and a mining operation to acquire materials for iron weaponry, bows, and a transistor.

Fool people into believing I am god's son and then make a cult and then make it a sin to not have sex with me if you are an attractive woman.

Removing someone's language is going to have severe effects on their ability to function beyond just speaking and reading. Even thinking is going to be badly disturbed. I'd be surprised if the person was capable of taking care of themselves at all.

If I can read, I'll put as many blueprints as possible into it, with a guide on how to ghetto build shit
I'll also make sure to add agriculture, metallurgy and pottery knowledge to those papers
I'll lastly add in some basic english books, to teach complex language to the followers, so they can also understand the papers I bring
everything will snowball from there as I gain and educate more followers

Paper: knowledge to make 1911 pistols.

Box: 1911 pistol, spare parts, rest packed with bullets.

I take over the world.

That's what I meant. Pointing the gun directly to the back of your head through the mouth.

Queers will be stoned during this time period though.

God, I love reading butthurt comments from you plebs.

all I would need is a tablet computer and a solar panel to charge it. then the tablet would be loaded with a massive amount of information. allowing me to kick start a prehistoric tribe into the industrial age.

the paper would just say "kill the hebrews"

>>bible to keep my sanity
fucking lost it

>memory erased
>can't speak cuz no concept of language
>cant read piece of paper or even know what a piece of paper is
>don't know who that thing holding a thing moving toward me is
>ouchie head hurt

>your memory will be erased
>including language

you got a fair bit of space in the box, so a beefy laptop, fuckhuge external hard drive, and a mini printer with paper and ink would probably be terrific

The box would be filled with drugs.
I'ma thinking stimulants, dissociatives, and psychedelics. Lots and lots of psychedelics.

The paper will have a picture of me eating said drugs.

Fuck you-- I'ma evolve.

>fill box with handgun and bullets
>write pictorial explanation of gun operation and uses on paper

Did you just epilepsy

>You are given the opportunity to travel back to 50 000 BC
I reject the opportunity

Why do we all assume we wouldn't just discard the box and paper after 2-3 mins of toying with it?

because you are not a monkey

>What will you put inside the box?
A time machine, since they apparently exist.
>What will you write on the sheet of paper?
Instructions on how to use the time machine.

Nice

>What will you write on the sheet of paper?

"I hypnotized you (myself) to reactivate all your memories from the future. You will remember everything in 3... 2... 1... NOW! [+ random codeword to trigger the effect]"

>What will you put inside the box?

The letter continues: "I put a replicator in the box. It's future tech, but you must already know this, given all your memories came back by now. You can use the replicator to create any kinds of objects, from a single screwdriver to a laptop. The replicators bateries will automatically recharge. Its database contains any technological informations from the future. While it can't create objects larger than 200cmx200cmx200cm, you can use it as many times as you want after its batteries recharge.
Have fun!"

- You

>all your memory will be erased, your scientific knowledge is 0
>What will you write on the sheet of paper?

are you for real?

empty sheet of paper

solar Panel 50cm*50cm

The question remains would you rather search for ways to make the items within the box useful to you, or to the future civilization?

Now that I think about it, perhaps I would place information within a box that we in this day and age can use to advance our civilization!

Some super storage device USB... I would ensure the box cannot be opened and is made of resistant materials!

On the paper I would still draw simple instructions/visual communications on how to acquire and eat/drink water and meat!

This is just cheating though.

>C5H5NO2

Well, that's a great help.

Don't forget
>run electricity back and forth along a wire with enough power
>boom, radio
What the fuck does that even mean? Pretty much half of this stuff is so oversimplified it wouldn't help anyone.
>extract insulin from dogs by tying a string around the pancreatic duct
Oh perfect, let me just perform some dog surgery knowing nothing beyond "tie a string around a duct"

You can't fucking read if your memory is erased and your scientific knowledge is zero. Good luck figuring out a computer.
