If you woke up in 1500, how much of modernity could you recreate?

I don't think I would be able to shift up humanity's timeline by much, to be honest.
Perhaps I could try to explain a steam engine or even combustion engine to someone with the skills to try to build one. I suppose I could introduce the scientific method a bit early? If the engine worked I could probably fast track flight. Maybe early knowledge of geography would be advantageous. Realistically though, I'd be burnedatthestake-pwned before any lasting impact.

Germ theory.
Genetics.
Airplanes (or at least gliders).
Lots of physics insights.
Lots of economics stuff, but no one would care.
Electric generators and motors.
Steam engines.
Combustion engines.
Air conditioning.
Philosophical GENIUS.

Genetics is a CR I had not considered, would be immediately beneficial in agriculture and husbandry.
Germ theory would be immediately 180, if you could get people to buy into it. That's why I think the scientific method would be even more impactful.
Economics/physics/
Econ/physics etc I don't think people would be ready for, or interested in, but would love to hear of you disagree.
The engine stuff is what got me thinking about this. Could you make one with no help? That alone would kickstart everything by centuries.

unless you're a civil engineer or a REALLY bare-metal EE the best you could probably do is go to renaissance med school and just be a physician who is eccentrically fanatical about sterilizing everything.
you could probably write a bunch of letters with the basics of calculus and stats to the top scholars of the day and jump-start their thinking a little

i could make a combustion engine and a gun. i could maybe even get that engine going strong enough to create an airplane.
the problem would be surviving their diseases and not getting killed or sold into slavery.

"you could have led an expedition to the east to find out how the chinese had been making it."
True. I knew those bastards had it figured out.
"come to think of it, i do not know how to get gasoline from oil."
Doing a down and dirty distillation should be easy. Make sure to check Wikipedia before your travels.

Blowing air through a big, bubbling, fire-brick-lined pot of steel.
It makes it easier to mass produce and purify steel.

hook up with a printing press. publish a bunch of hyper-prescriptivist grammar manuals, like strunk and white on steroids.
Bam, you just invented the modern legal industry.

you could probably invent a steam pump with maybe 20 years of work, that alone would advance the timeline by 200 years.
also, semaphores, vaccines, crude penicillin, and intravenous opiate painkillers are all fairly low tech to implement.

I could illustrate the basics of electricity/batteries (which pretty much anyone who had to take intro physics in college can as well). Although I couldn't really build anything useful that uses electricity, I could probably communicate to people how it would be
Nobody will give a shit or pay attention to geology stuff

more advanced methods of banking and finance.
1500 was the moment before we began to see the beginnings of modern securities markets and the like.

I think the biggest change you could make would be to affect ways of thinking.
Maybe introducing coffee, and the whole coffee shop scene as a substitute for slamming ale all day and getting some scholars on board with the scientific method. That's a lasting change that would have an impact far beyond a shitty little steam engine you and a blacksmith bro would spend years almost getting right.
