    3 and 7 are pretty OP if used correctly

    source
    • ivanafterall@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Like Wish.com Nightcrawler. You can hide so fucking well, as long as there are a bunch of empty containers around.

    7 would be really useful for those games where you have to find the ball under the cup. You can instantly tell if you’re being swindled, and always win.

    3 means general immunity to locked doors and restraints

        Most doors are not 7" thick…

    Teleport 7 inches only because doing so in quick succession could look really funny

    source
    • Valmond@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Go slim under 7 inches and teleport through very thin walls.

      source
      • Psionicsickness@reddthat.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        That’s not very thin walls though. Average walls are 4.5”. Walls with things like plumbing are usually only 6.5”. Teleporting 7 inches would be hella useful.

    Running as fast as Albert Einstein would be a considerable improvement.

    source

      Einstein can’t run at all. He died years ago.

    7 is actually useful? I don’t understand the debate

      How is seeing inside of an empty container useful? There’s nothing in it

      Most things people consider “empty” are still full of atmospheric gases, dust, etc.

      You could see inside of a sterile container inside of a vacuum chamber.

      source
      • DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        That container still has space inside of it.

  • nathanjent@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Gravel is basically free already. The real cost is putting it where you want it to be.

    source
    • tempest@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      I mean that is the best pill. It’s like inheriting a free quarry. I could instantly undercut every other quarry and would not need to maintain any of the crushers or land to provide any type of gravel.

      I’m definitely choosing that one for sure.

      source
  • misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Toaster control for sure. After selling my robot toasters as a cheap way to communicate with satellites, I’ll command an army of them all over the solar system.

    source
  • Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Can I take a pill that gives me a whole sub for discussing these?

    source
  • Sam_Bass@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Could definitely use free gravel

    source
  • Nariom@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago
    1. breed oysters > profit
    2. sell gravel
    3. still prob useful if you chain teleport real fast?
    4. why
    5. must be a job somewhere for you
    6. can instantly tell if a container isnt empty, work in customs or something?
    7. doctorate in archeology
    8. albert einstein when? now? yikes, when he was young? depends on your relative age and physical form
    source
    • BootLoop@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Communication doesn’t mean you can breed them. I can communicate with you and someone else but it doesn’t mean that I can convince you to breed.

      source
      • Nariom@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        No but you could gain a greater understanding of their needs. You can always learn the job on top of that. Oyster probably don’t need much convincing anyway.

      What if you fed the 4rth pill to an oyster thus making it grow a second nose.

      What is its first nose?

      Bonus points if you have a friend that can talk to them in order to know how they feel about it.

      source
  • Saithe@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Depending on how fast you can teleport you could move pretty quickly. Even 12 teleports a second gets you 4.5 mph in any direction. Could be useful depending on the cooldown but for any significant speed you’d need to teleport really quickly. 20 teleports a second is almost 8 mph

    source
    • zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      It does raise the question on if this could be useful in some sort of hand to hand combat situation. What happens if I my first is 6" away from your face and I teleport 7" forward? I guess the same question applies to walls. If I can just teleport through matter, then it’s usefulness is suddenly quite high.

      source
      • Saithe@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Only if you don’t value your hand. Perhaps you could teleport a hammer into someone’s face

        source
  • eronth@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    7 has the mild convenience of quickly eliminating any empty containers from search for whatever you’re missing. But really Free Gravel is the winner here.

    • Fenrisulfir@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      How do we define empty? Is air empty? If yes then at which gas do we delineate empty vs not empty?

    #7 Can instantly see inside any empty container

    Even if we decide that the teleport might not get you through doors, if you could spam it faster than (works out maths…) 10 times per second, they you could hover, or really slowly fly (about 0.8 inches per second horizontally)

    source
  • Bubs12@lemmy.cafe ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Gravel can be turned into sand. Sand can be turned into concrete and glass. So this one scales pretty quickly.

    On the other hand, all I have to do is build a single toaster robot that can build other toaster robots and I’m on my way to toaster robot army.

    • Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Just overload the toasters of your enemies and burn down their houses

    Considering how my driveway gets completely washed away any time it rains, I’m going with #2 no questions asked.

    Don’t even have to read the rest of them, gravel is expensive!

    source
  • Etterra@discuss.online ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    I’ll take 7 for sure. 2 or 3 depending on how the gravel is delivered and/or if I can chain teleport.

    source
    • 9point6@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      The empty part is probably more necessary to define.

      You may only be able to see inside empty containers in a vacuum

      source
      • rockerface@lemmy.cafe ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Or being able to see everything because matter is mostly made of empty space

    3 and 5 can be overpowered if the superpower has no cooldown or limit

    2, 7, 8 can assure you big wealth in some jobs

    1, 4, 6 doesn’t appear to be very useful, and having a second nose could be quite inconvenient on the forehead, in the armpit or above the arse, while being very parasocial

    9: While i think running at the speed of albert einstein relative to the earth would be kind of meh, i would reconsider if it is Albert’s running speed relative to the moon

    source
  • BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    This free gravel, can I summon it whenever and wherever I want, or do I have to wait for it to be delivered? If it’s the latter, I will take Khitan. Resurrecting a dead language sounds fun.

    source
  • Gurei@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Is that a clean 7 inches, or would teleporting sideways cross over with some space I previously occupied?

    source
    • Fenrisulfir@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      There’s no cooldown so you can teleport an infinite distance as long as it’s magic Star Trek teleportation and not The Prestige murder based teleportation

      source
      • merari42@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Star Trek teleportation might also be a bit murdery. You are disassembled to your molecules, sent over in a high energy beam and reassembled. Also there’s a mild risk to end up in an evil mirror universe.

    7 inches is a lot. Almost too much you could say. 5 is enough… Right?

      If you look inside (even using magic ability), it will be predicted and then it will be empty. It will be even harder for you not to look.

        If it works like that, you would be in huge demand by the bomb squad and for demilitarizing weapons.

    1. Open franchise that sells toast bread. Burn all toasters in the world that are not used in your chain. Raise prices to ridiculous amounts. Build a big toaster rocket. Fly away.
