Say that you suddenly wake up in the year 1875. You end up talking to someone and you want to convince them that you’re from the future. How do you do that?

Historical knowledge would come in handy, though IDK much about the late 19th century. And it would probably take a while until an event you predict actually happens, even if you’re a bit of a 19th century history nerd.
Beyond that, might be a lost cause. People are generally not going to believe that kind of thing even if you present some amount of evidence, and even if they do they might react badly to it.
I’d go with as-yet-undiscovered scientific knowledge. Your predictions might alter historical events, but they shouldn’t change the way nature operates.
That’s a real quick way to get chemically castrated and tossed in a “sanitarium” /hj
IMO, scientific knowledge isn’t that useful if you only have a surface-level understanding of how things work. Either way, let’s say you know enough to get a reputation as a genius inventor or something like that, maybe some people would actually believe if you claim that you’re from the future then, but I think there would be more people who just think you’re crazy (or “eccentric” if you’re lucky).
