You are teleported back to the same spot as now, but in the early 1800. You keep all stuff on you, all your knowledge and a phone with modern internet access and unlimited battery. How do you proceed?

1. Well, I'm in Japan right now so I will most likely be arrested and executed by the shogunate for being a foreigner, because, you know, sakoku policy and all. Unless.... Perry comes at the right time and tells the shogun to "open the country. stop having it be closed."

5. I'm probably pretty fucked. Denver is ~60 years in the future, I'm wearing shorts and a basketball jersey while it's snowing outside. Best bet is to look as pitiful as possible and hope the Arapaho take pity on me.

7. My city wasn't founded until 1873. The closest humans were the native tribes. This could go either extremely well, or extremely bad. I doubt they will believe me some sort if god, but maybe they will believe I am some sort of witch doctor?

12. Wait, so all things on the modern internet would be accessible? If so, if in the year 1800, go to America and show both Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr the ending of the musical ‘Hamilton’, and just watch things go to hell.
