Memes aside, how would somebody from, lets say, the Middle Ages suddenly popping up in the present day react to everything?

For example, I think they wouldn't react that strongly to modern technology. Their minds might not even register many of it. There are stories of natives who, when discovered by Europeans, didn't notice the ship coming, or didn't care, they acted as if it's not an amazing thing. According to some, it's because the mind thinks in patterns, and if something is so different from what they knew already, it kind of shuts down and can't properly register it.

So I think someone from centuries past wouldn't really care about technology, at least at first. They would instead look for familiar stuff and react to that. So, for example, they would be shocked at how indecently everyone is dressed, would notice how churches are different etc. Also, they would probably see a modern city as Sodoma and Gomorrah, with lewd images everywhere, churches being dwarfed by most other buildings, everyone overindulging in material pleasures etc.

Don't confuse ideals with how people really behaved.

"Par Dieu ! Qu'est-ce que c'est que cette contraption ?!"

Lets not forget that caloric intake of a priest during a fast wouldve been around 4000 calories, and 6000 when not fasting. I would argue we are less overindulging.

That's interesting. How does that work?

i think, and many fiction books agree, that they would think the air stinks of burnt

It's almost like that story was made up and complete bullshit.

"L'ingénierie des français est donc superbe à tous les âges! Mais je jure que moi, Simon du Belfort, duc de Nemours, ramènerai cette contraption à mon roi, sire Louis IX, Dieu le protège. Il nous en faut pour mettre fin à la manigance des anglais!".

That would probably be the most genuinely hilarious thing of all time.
