Choosing 3 and 7 seems the most intuitive to me. 3 to move to inaccessible places with like glass windows as separation. 7 to check if containers are empty or not.

I wouldn’t interpret 7 inches as the amount of a gap you can cross - I would interpret it as literally translating your body 7 inches in one direction. Unless you can fit your body between two planes 7 inches apart, you’re not going to be teleporting through any barriers.
Definition of teleportation: “Teleportation is the hypothetical transfer of matter or energy from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them.” Again this is scifi stuff at this moment. So with this definition I can technically cross barriers which are less than 7 inches like for example glass panes
Depending on the limitations, teleporting a short distance should allow you to practically fly.
I will make 10’s to 100’s of thousands paving roads with gravel and be more than willing to pave roads for people who can’t maybe afford it without consequence.
Empty containers may be profitable as well since I could verify which shipping containers could be skipped for further processing, saving hundreds to thousands of hours of time, over time.
2 and 3 are the obvious choices, however id pick 3 and 5. Here are the only interesting pills available.
You can sell it
that’s enough to go through a wall
a smart toaster can be programed to send commands outside of itself, essentially allowing you to control anything you had prepped for this before hand
Would be funny to feed this one to a person who had just died and watch their color come back, really fuck with the autopsy
Instantly cures any physical ailments preventing you from running/walking (unless we mean current albert einstein, in which case corpses cant move.)
(3) that’s enough to go through a wall
No it’s not. You’re more than 7" thick. Even if you got right up against the wall, your nose pressed up against it, the back of your head is maybe 10" away. You teleport 7" and congratulations, you’re halfway through a wall.
Most doors will never be locked, at least.
So you’re telling me cyberpunk 2077 is possible, I just have to learn how to code via telepathy and my cyberdeck is a toaster?
5 to grant me an unstoppable botnet of all the smart toasters out there, 7 to get ansible capability
THATS NOT IN THE PLAYBOOK JOHN
Definitely #5 so I can shut up that Demented Toaster!
Ah, so you’re a waffle man!
Do I have to pick two? Because I just want #6
Easy. Just pick #6 twice so you can look 20 hours younger instantly. =P
Does that mean if I pick #9 twice I can run twice as fast as Albert Einstein?
You can, not you must.
It doesn’t matter if it’s in a can or a bottle I’ll only take one pill!
3 and 7, teleporting a short distance like that can be extremely useful to get past roors and fences. Identifying whether a container was empty or not reliably is good enough proof to clean out this list without being powerful enough that the majority of people would actually believe I have magic, plus I don’t have to reveal my teleporting ability.
Depending on how fast the teleport is, whether there’s a delay between uses and whether it causes significant fatigue or other side effects, I might take that. Other than that, it’s a toss-up for me between the extinct language and communicating with oysters.
3 and 5 are a potentially broken combo. In particular if “control a toaster” means control and not just “operate”, since then it’s basically toasterkinesis, or being able to instantly turn any toaster into a bomb. "teleport up to 10 inches away sounds like it wouldn’t be too useful but it does, in principle, allow you to phase out incoming bullets and a fair amount of lateral blade hits if you time it right.
6 and 7 could have some interesting, niche uses in some fields. 6 for example could be used for intimidation if “10 hours younger” is interpreted chronologically: even after taking a serious wound, you’d look pristine for around 10 hours so it might be used to scare or distract some enemies.
I’m… not even sure what 4 or 9 could ever be used for.
9 you could sell to a paraplegic
3 and 8
Then I can Time Warp to the past and become a king! Or holy figure
You have died of dysentery
That’s fair
Marvel 's writers picking up next super power
5 If you want to see the world burn
Spam teleporting hacks plus easy hiding using the teleport ability? Heckle yeah
Seems you could teleport to the other side of a household wall
Time to disrupt the gravel market
What’s the cooldown and specifics of #6?
Is it a one-time pill effect or a power you gain? Do you stay looking however you did 10 hours ago forever?
If it’s a power, let’s say you use it immediately twice in a row. First time: boom. 10 hours younger. Second time: does nothing happen or do you then look 10 hours younger than then how you currently appear? So you look 20 hours younger. Could you keep spamming it indefinitely until you very slowly reach any age you want?
I suppose that depends on whether it makes you look 10 hours younger than you ARE or 10 hours younger than you CURRENTLY APPEAR.
I…I’m spending too much time thinking about this.
I think it’s as simple as your visual appearance is simply n - 10h
You know, there’s a story in here somewhere. A monkey’s paw that only grants shitty-sounding wishes, but the side-effects are massively beneficial.
The ability to see inside any empty container could be useful depending on how granular you’re being with “empty”. Could get a good job screening for contraband or any other job where you expect containers to be empty, as quality control.
Play the teleport 7 inches right, and you have a get out of jail free card.
10 hours younger than what?
Take a photo of yourself.
Waiting 10 hours then do it again.
Then if you choose you can look like you did in the first photo.
ur mum
1 and 8. I seek knowledge. A scholar, if you will.
I think you guys are underrating a few of these 8 could be useful if you’re a spy and want to have your own private documents that noone can read 1 you could leave oysters in places suited for eavesdropping, and maybe even coordinate billions of them to tackle down ships etc (?) 5 It would be possible to all of the sudden communicate with all humanity in morse code by turning them on and off, you would hit headlines and maybe demand a crazy amount of money in cardano/bitcoin or else you’ll just blow up the toast industry. Plus, this morse code thing could lead to a cult where you might have fanatics at your advantage
As someone with a gravel driveway, I will take free gravel for life. Lump sum is okay but installments are prefured.
Apart fron all the others, number 7 seems kinda useful.
Yep. This cup has the ball in it because I can see inside the others. Give me my $20.
3 and 5
Free gravel and can speak khitan. You can sell the gravel for money and you can say just about anything and no one will get mad at you cause no one will understand you.
For me 2 and 7.
1 & 7 or 2 & 7 rough choices.
With the oysters you could probably ascertain way more knowledge than you expected.
They all just chant, “OYST! OYST! OYST!” forever like Pokemon.
7 can be useful. With 6 I can keep repeating it to be a lot younger, 10 hours at a time.
3 and 5 could be quite useful.
What type of teleportation? Mist, evapouration, inflation? Flashing? What type of toaster control? Making them rise up like Magneto, or just switching them on with your mind?
7 too. This weird cup game is super easy, because you’ll always see which cup is not empty.
You can make a toaster do anything a toaster can do. It can’t clean your house or fly, because it’s a toaster.
Talkie’s the name, toasting’s the game! I toast, therefore I am.
5 and 7. You guys are sleeping on the toaster thing.

I would take the toaster one just so I could mess with my friends
