I’m just going to steal the response I read years ago.
“I possess a device, in my pocket, that is capable of accessing the entirety of information known to man. I use it to look at pictures of cats and get into arguments with strangers.”
And porn! So much porn!
Why the Nazis are back
Things they considered morally fine (smoking, dropping litter, 40 year olds dating 16 year olds) is morally reprehensible, while things they thought were morally wrong or even outlawed are totally acceptable (homosexually, porn, divorce).
Most difficult imho would be to explain why we haven’t advanced any further. If the person is 50 in 1950 he started with horse carriages and saw development to intercontinental bombers, rockets etc. The landing on moon would astonish him, advances in medical sciences and computing too but he probably would ask: “And what are you using that neat little gadgets for?”

That shitty actor from Bedtime for Bonzo becomes president.
Ronald Reagan was President for 8 years.
That’s heavy doc
That we’ve been to the moon and back, and that they can casually toss into their pockets a device with enough “thinking” power to do the necessary math for the task and then some.
And that we still can’t make nylon stockings that don’t “run,” but that nobody cares because we don’t wear them anymore.
That, and transgender is normal.
toss into their pockets a device with enough “thinking” power to do the necessary math for the task and then some.
“And then some” is a bit of an under statement. An iPhone 14 is literally millions of times faster than the Apollo Guidance Computer.
“Yes, they are allowed to be on the same bus as us. No, we don’t call them that anymore”
If your tire pressure is low, you have to pay money….for air.
We still work 8 hours/day!
But we also won the cold war

This one is hard to explain to people from the 2020s
