ANY toaster. If you go to a wedding or any formal event with drinks, you can control whoever’s giving the toast. That could be pretty powerful.
Puppeteering at its finest.
Also, anything that generates enough heat in the presence of bread is, in fact, a toaster.
I could do so much with free gravel, you have no idea.
If you have even the most-basic business sense, this instantly turns you into an uber-wealthy gravel tycoon.
3 would get you through almost any door. Definitely my choice.
7 though, this would make you a star in the DEA. Imagine seeing inside everyone’s tires, and then you find one you can’t see inside. “Whatcha got in those tires, son?” I’m sure there could be other uses.
2, you could run a business on free gravel but you’re mostly paying for processing and delivery so you would only have a small edge on your competition. It’s still a lot of work and big heavy expensive trucks.
Depends on what is meant by “free gravel”, though. Given the effects of the other pills, it gives me the impression I can just summon gravel on command. In which case, I’d only have to pay for my own transportation.
I thought the same thing about 3 until I realized that I’m more than 7 inches tall/wide/deep, so I can’t actually pass through anything, just get horribly mangled when I make it halfway through the door.
Now here’s the million dollar question: how many times per second can I teleport? Because if I can teleport at let’s say 1khz… now we’re talking
Okay, I’ll bite this time.
- Don’t see any use.
- Sell gravel. Become rich.
- If no cooldown you can spam and teleport anywhere as long as there’s a path between A and B
- Not sure.
- Turning on every toaster in the world at the same time would probably cripple the various power grids globally.
- If it stacks you could look quite young.
- Could probably make some money checking if safes are empty or not. Doesn’t say anything about distance. Could remotely check containers for people. Depends as well on the definition of empty.
- Would be hugely beneficial to some archeologists.
- For anyone who is unable to walk currently this would be good. What happens if you cut your legs off? Can you fly afterwards?
- Don’t see any use.
Not sureMight be useful, but who nose.
FTFY
- …Depends as well on the definition of empty.
“Yep, another container that does not contain a perfect vacuum. Should have taken the free gravel pill…”
If you pick 9 and then cut your legs off, you’ll have the ability to run as fast as Albert Einstein with his legs cut off could.
Imagine how fast that guy could go if he devoted his life to building performance accessibility aids instead of pursuing physics. He probably would have robotic cybernetic legs that outperformed any human runners.
Unless he was as skilled in robotics and engineering as a fish was at climbing trees.
Teleport 7 inches away easy lock in:
Teleport up 7 inches on a generator perpetual motion machine.
Walk through thin walls / safes.
Repeatedly teleport forwards never have to walk again.
Teleport out of bed every morning.
Teleport out of clothes at night / sexy times
Look cool AF.
Unless your body is less than 7 inches wide, all but the first and third one of those is going to involve nightmarish scenarios of walls, clothes, etc. getting stuck in your body.
Does momentum reset after a teleport? Could I jump off a cliff and teleport left and right like going down stairs?
Then teleport again
Hell, not even that. You could become a world class boxer or UFC fighter. You can basically slip any punch or attack instantly and you can teleport your fists into the sweet spot to score a knockout. You would be an amazing baseball player as well, you can teleport to perfectly hit any ball at just the right angle. As a quarterback you would be insane too, you can readjust to any play instantly. In fencing you’d basically be unstoppable, you can dodge everything. For any sport or physical activity being able to teleport 7 inches is insanely overpowered. The person who came up with this doesn’t play any sports.
Free gravel for life could be a game changer.
You still pay the shipping fees.
The pill said nothing about that.
The teleport 7 inches thing might be nice for getting through locked doors
I worry about those who are thicker than 7 inches. That might cause some Cloverfield Paradox shit, where your innards wind up fuzed with a door. Skinny folks only.
I mean, it doesn’t say there’s a cooldown, so in theory you could just spam it a shitton of times and no matter how thick the door is, you’ll get through it.
Unless you mix with the door and all molecules in your body mess up and you die.
The Door.
Hodor.
You know what happens if you suddenly double the number of incompressible molecules in a given area? I don’t, but I can imagine it would be explosive.
Yeah, it’d be really important to understand how the 7 inches are measured. Like…is it 7 inches in the same way I mean 7 inches when I say it? Or more like a literal-on-a-ruler 7 inches?
You appear in the closest unoccupied space.
But there’s air. Where does the air go? Maybe you can only teleport in space.
The closest unoccupied space appears to be a safe in the wall
That is exactly what I though. There are benefits to this one for sure.
I am pretty sure you can sell gravel soooo
But this gravel is free.
Not when I’m through with it.
Jesus.
Free for you, not the people you sell it to.
3 is overpowered, it’s basically FTL if the reload time is low
The reload time is zero, but teleporting N meters away takes N seconds. Oh, and it looks like the transporter effect from Star Trek where you fade out and get all sparkly.
I’m playing a Pathfinder game where my character has something roughly resembling this ability, and so far it has allowed my party to essentially skip a few fights.
So curious about any funny stories. Like tried to get on the other side of a wall but you’re skinniest character is 7.5 inches at the chest so their scapula gets stuck in some thatched wall so now they look like some kind of hay Angel.
Nah, my character has Mirror’s Reflection. So I can get through any window just by duplicating and then un-duplicating myself. I’ve skipped trays that way and opened doors for my group using it.
Worst thing that’s happened is a triggered a monster that one-shot me. From my team’s perspective I tried to duplicate through a window and instead just fell down unconscious. If I’d rolled better initiative I could’ve seen it and un-duplicated before it had a chance to do anything.
Yeah teleporting 7 in if there’s no time like between teleportations is godlike.
I was going to say, 3 is my choice. Subtly powerful and useful. Just have to be creative, even if it isn’t actually that much faster
7 inch teleport sounds genuinely useful in a fight. Also, couldn’t you just keep teleporting 7 inches? It might still be faster and easier than running.
On the other hand, infinite gravel…
Could be useful, but it says nowhere that your clothes will teleport with you.
Then getting dressed and undressed will be a lot faster.
Getting your tackle out; a war tradition almost as old as bonking someone on the head with a metal object.
Less practiced by armed militias and moreso ‘crackhead locals’ these days; it remains an incredibly effective tactic.
There was nothing that said you can’t teleport up. Meaning you can go up and over. Almost no effort way of getting our of traffic or cleaning the gutters, fixing things up high. Or ya know essentially low flight. This is all assuming there is no cool down and its like walking.
Also, 7 inches are generally enough to teleport through a wall
Is it tho? If your body moves 7", the new position of your back would still be behind where your front was, at least for my fat ass. So you couldn’t clear a wall. But if it’s a problem to teleport into a wall, then it would also be a problem to teleport into the air where you’re going. And if you left a sudden vacuum behind you, it would create a dangerous shock wave as it collapsed.
Free Gravel?
This one is clearly the best choice. That shit is expensive!
Start a gravel business, destroy the competition, and create a gravel empire.
Cover the whole world in gravel!!! MWAHAHAHAHA
Free gravel, then sell it. Just make sure to not summon too much gravel so the price doesn’t go down.
I would be the Gravel King. You need gravel, you come to me. I would be a benevolent king though. I would grant gravel to those that need it.
Exactly. This one is infinite money glitch
It doesn’t say the quantity, though. It might be a very small amount every so often. But, if that’s not the case, and if we also get to choose where the gravel appears, then I’m using it to construct a man made island out in international waters.
Yeah, the devil is in the details. Is there a cooldown? Are there quantity limitations? Location could be interesting because you could put ten tons of gravel a mile high and drop it. You could have Nasa pay you to quickly assemble a compacted gravel mini-moon at a lagrange point for a space dock.
Or maybe you get gravel in the same sense that someone could own Jupiter or a star. “You now own all the gravel in that quary!” But it doesn’t inform the workers of that fact, or the officials who still rely on whatever paperwork was filled out by the agents of the guy who paid them to ensure the quary belongs to his corporation’s corporation. The whole idea of ownership is pretty abstract in the first place.
Could be that every pill just means that, under the jurisdiction of the entity who made the pills, you are legally allowed to do what the pills claim, though you need to figure out the rest from there, and people from other jurisdictions are able to disagree even if you do figure out the how.
Are we talking about Albert Einstein in his prime, or Albert Einstein now?
Could we put Einstein’s bones in a centrifuge, and run at 200km/h?
- It still allows you to determine whether containers are empty, which is situationally useful.
It could actually be insanely overpowered depending on interpretation.
“Instantly see inside any empty container”
What does it mean to “see” inside a container? If that just means “know what the contents are” (i.e nothing) then it’s limited, but if it means literally see with remote sight, that’s much more useful - depending on this next part…
What does “inside” mean? Does it mean we can only observe the interior, or can we look out from the interior as if our point of view occupies it?
And finally, what constitutes an “empty container”? Is a container still a container if it doesn’t have a lid? Or do its sides need to be opaque? By most interpretations, a glass with no liquid would easily fit the definition of an empty container…
At its most favourable then, this power gives you the ability to remote surveil any location where a common, everyday empty glass could be found. Very powerful indeed.
Strictly limited to transparent Tupperware
It also doesn’t seem to list a distance limit?
I’m now observing from the inside of an empty Tupperware container in a Top Secret facility.
Imagine the faces of those street hustlers who make tourists play three cups and ball game.
Bro thinks the ball is real.
Nah, thinking about it, it’s much more useful than that. You can presumably see inside of the container itself. Think about how many difficult and dangerous jobs involve inspecting the inside of septic tanks, aircraft fuel tanks, etc. Hell if we stretch the definition of container you could inspect the inside of an engine cylinder.
Or, monkey’s paw, containers with air in them aren’t empty. Then it’s very difficult to use.
