Also, why does our hero have crotch abs?

“You sure, baby? There’s a reason they’re called ‘stiffs’…”

Separate tickets, dudes.

Damn, I am stealing this. Too many good uses:

“She lives in a hopium den”

“Hopium addict”

“Hopium of the masses”

I don’t know - the arc shot with the zoom (when the three robots were on stage) looked much too smooth, and suspiciously computer-generated.

One, “Operation Praying Mantis” II coming up. Did you want Freedom Fries with that?

And if they say things like “God bless you”, I take it as a sign of respect

Very different from someone in the South saying “God bless your heart”, which means they think you’re being stupid.

While kissing someone’s ass is almost never appropriate on a first date, it might relate to the “kiss of shame”, one of the weird things allegedly performed by witches. See Osculum Infame

Their density makes them ring like a bell, if suspended by a wire through the center. Good wind chimes.

Profits security.

Or fire.

Cloth, probably not. But look into homemade paper - you might be able to turn vacuum lint into something like construction paper, but ew.

Edit: Found this - instructions on turning dryer lint into paper

Replaced by AI. Nothing to see here…

Was it the one where they did the thing, or the one where the thing was gonna happen?

Haven’t seen Pet Rocks yet.

Introduce radio to the Romans. They had the metallurgy to create coils. Even a simple Morse code system would easily keep their empire going. Probably end up like that Star Trek TOS where Centurions are carrying sub-machine guns, though. If want to read what a great SF writer did with this (guy from 1938 ends up in 535AD), read “Lest Darkness Fall”

The demonstration is key. The Greeks actually had one in 80BC or thereabouts, but as far as we know they never figured out a use for it. Wiki is here: Aeolipile

Let it be the glasses. I can tell them to show me a pony, whereas I can’t have an intelligent pony balanced on the bridge of my nose.

So much opportunity for science! Does it still work? Is it accurate? Do the positions of the celestial bodies it shows correspond exactly with where they should have been 1,000 years ago? Is there anything it shows that the manufacturer of that time should not have known, and if so, does that indicate they had observational methods we didn’t previously know they had?

Tony Stark’s glasses with a compatible, programmable AI. And a pony.
