Sup /sci/
Consider the following:
You wake up in the year 1860, on the streets of Paris. You know the language. You are wearing normal 19th century clothes, and you did not bring any objects with you. There is no apparent explanation for why you appeared there.
What do you do?

fuck. yes.

I have lottery numbers on my birthday memorized every year. i wouldn't live until 1987 to cash in on them myself so what I would do is publish a book of nostradamus style foretellings that include the world wars, 9/11, major assassinations etc. once everyone bought into my foretellings I would have the lotto numbers in there but I would mix up the years or something so that it was obvious that I knew the numbers but only wanted to troll everyone. if i played my cards right I could go down in infamy while single-handedly seriously dicking some religions, political careers, shitty parts of the status quo etc.

plus there would be no internet so I would be bored as shit and have plenty of time to expertly plan my trolling.

oh yeah and i would probably assassinate/maim quite a few people by giving them diseases which I would be magically immune to. fuck yea, kinda hard for edison to steal work and spread his faggotry with polio'd fag legs amirite?
