Those six foot scorpions would absolutely terrify me.

I’d rather face a T-Rex.

Well considering the atmosphere had a much higher percentage of carbon not very long. These crazy global warming idiots would do good to take a historical look at the atmosphere.

Despite the skills I have learned over the years, the hurdle of eyesight would do me in fairly quickly. The contacts I show up in might last 2 months. If I had the glasses, no way they don't get lost or destroyed. Once that happens, I'm near useless. I have thought about this a lot re: time travel. It's a problem.

What's the point of surviving in this scenario? Reproduction is off the table (not a Bama fan). Might as well all of us jump off a cliff.

Even if we could breath the atmosphere we would be lucky to last until we starved to death. Without technology we are way the frick down the food chain.

Diseases would take you out faster than a T Rex would.

How much would the limit on my credit card be? I could get by on $500 a week if I had to stretch things

Within 24 hours you'd be dead of some pathogen you have no immunity to.

Depends on the oxygen levels.

Oxygen levels would be the same as they are at around 10-14k feet. You might get sick for a couple of days if you aren't already acclimated.

They thawed out a caveman and he made it through law school. I'm pretty sure I could figure shite out.
