    Your ancestors would be panicking worse at the grocery store, they couldn’t possibly conceive of something like a refrigerator.

      Yeah honestly society to them might be some terrible psychological horror. The small things you can do to get you arrested like walking into a forest (trespassing), removing restrictive garments (public nudity), sleeping in a comfy field of grass in the one area without monolithic grey cliffs (sleeping in a park where it’s not allowed), picking up and using a tool (theft) etc etc. It’s a nightmare realm with black magic machines, eternal sun indoors, unclean air, no natural food sources in cities, loud sounds everywhere and uncooperative people.

      no they definitely could, people in the past would try to figure out how stuff worked and if they couldn’t they chalked it up to magic and went on with their day.

      remember that for most of human history people genuinely and whole-heartedly believed magic was real and it wast just a part of daily life.
