that's a very specific list you have there :huh:

It is what I think would be ideal to send within the budget of one billion dollars.

If you have any questions why I chose a certain thing feel free to ask
>>
>>183397
ok... hmm... why teh 50000 nintendo 3ds? :unsure:
>>
I would send surrounding and political enemies millions of Comic LOs, so they would be too busy fapping :biggrin:
>>
>>183399
I considered Iphones, but they dont have a cover for the screen, and I felt that the stylus and the physical buttons would be more intuitive for an ancient.
The reason why either of these things is so they can take photographs, and record secret notes. Also you can do the thing where you put two DSs together to share files without internet (I guess iphones have that too).

Also, the mental image of a Roman centurion holding a DS is hilarious

>in order to strengthen the Roman empire and increase the likelihood of avoiding it's fall
just send a .50 caliber barret sniper rifle to headshot the tent maker from judea
>>
>>183403
I don't think that would be enough, but for sure "The International Jew" will be included in the 100,000 books to clue them in
>>
BUMP

I love gummy bears, but haribo is so expensive. you'd be better off getting a cheaper brand. just as good but costs half as much, so you can send twice as many
>>
you didn't say you'd teach them to use all those AKs though...

If niggers in the congo can figure it out, surely they can.
>>
>>183471
Niggers in the Congo are reasonably more educated than the Romans

1b dollars in LO magz to export into enemy territory. Teh enemy will be buzy fapping while we collapse their HQ.

They live in mud huts and shit dont be delusional.
To be fair if you dropped AKs on germanic tribesmen id think they would be about as clueless as congolese.

The congolese access to cheap chinese tshirts and japanese toyotas doesnt make them smarter than romans.
>>
I thought we were a Carthaginian site ( ´,_ゝ`)
>>
>>183531
op must be a n00b like me because heyuri is 100% a carthaginian site
>>
>>183640
Alright, then with the same one billion dollar budget send stuff to Hannibal
