  3 - It doesn’t say it has a cool down so you can just spam it and go insanely fast

  7 - It will be pretty useful in game shows. You can take a look inside a deck of cards and their order in their box. You know those “find the pebble in the right cup” street hustlers.

    Why do you think you could find out the order of a deck of cards? You can only see in the box if it’s empty.

    But, it could be useful for that street hustle… as long as they’re not doing the sleight of hand after you pick. You could claim that they were cheating, but people presumably always claim they’re cheating.

  Khitan and gravel, khitan would be a boon for linguists and i could help them document it until other people can learn to speak with me, and free gravel could be used to pillar up to places if done fast enough and could potentially clog things

  I would probably would go with 1 and 4. I read an article awhile ago they were used to detect quality of water. I would have the ability to further interpretate what is wrong with the water by talking to the oysters. Might make money along the way and save people/ environment at the same time. As for 4 well is for obvious reason.

  I at least like the toaster if we assume instantaneous faster than light control. If I can sit and watch a feed of stocks and toggle a buy/sell toaster hooked up to the stock market 250 ms away, I can pretty easily beat the market and make money.

  Similarly you could use the empty container rule to have someone communicate with you by toggling the empty state of a container. If you sense/not sense the container you have a reliable binary communication channel and Morse code is pretty viable too. But it’s probably best for a predetermined action because you’re racing the latency of light here and we’re not multiplanetary yet so you’ve only got hundreds of milliseconds margin to work with. Unless you contract with NASA or anyone yeeting things into space. Build an instrument that can Morse code via empting/filling a container and suddenly voyager can send us instant communication. Combine it with a set of control toasters and that’s pretty valuable too.

  Teleportation: is there a cool down? Because most places can be teleported to in increments of 7 inches if I can chain them.

  I assume you can chain teleport and thus move pretty fast. Seeing that a container is empty can be useful I imagine.

    Yes the seeing empty containers still give you information.

    Teleporting didn’t specify a cooldown.

    ZOOM! plus 7 inches is still enough to bypass doors.

      Put a ruler on the ground in front of your foot, at the 7 inch mark is where the front of your foot will move to. Sideways and you are stuck in something, forward or backwards and you are stuck in something.

      You couldn’t even teleport through a sheet of paper unless you were thinner than 7 inches.

  3 and 5.

  5 because it would even work on toasters that can do more than just toast, i.e. a toaster plus computer.

  3 because the other pills don’t sound useful. And it doesn’t say how often I can use this teleportation. So I assume through repeated teleportation I’d be super fast. If it doesn’t also teleport my cloths, I’d probably not use it too often though, apart from changing cloths (the 17.78 cm should be barely enough). It would also be interesting to fly using repeated teleportation. Though if my speed is not also reset through teleportation, I’d still fall, and landing would be dangerous. And if cloths and similar are not teleported with me, I also couldn’t take a parachute or wings with me.

  • Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    3 and 5 are the best, if you ever find yourself held captive. 7 inches can get you out of a jail cell, also cuffs if your clothes don’t teleport too. You can manipulate the toaster as a distraction or to start a fire.

    100% my choice.

    On a more likely note: It will be insanely easy to get dressed / undressed in the mornings/evenings. Just need to find a way to keep your clothes “inflated” when you “exit” them, so that you can teleport back into them. Although, would need to find a way to change the underwear inside the “standing” pants… Or go commando :D

  Either 2 and 3 or 3 and 7.

  Free gravel is fantastic, a ton of practical things to be done with it and is otherwise expensive.

  Teleporting 7 inches away is enough to get you past many barriers and walls, that’s not insignificant. This seems the coolest to me.

  Being able to determine if a container is empty or not seems pretty cool as well although I can’t think of a good example of how this would be useful.

  The rest are hilarious.

  If #8 also included being able to write the language as well, I’d definitely pick that. I could become famous and influential in linguistic circles and probably make good money off of it for a short while. Then I could use that money to fund a few projects I’ve wanted to do for a while, like making a modern Vib-Ribbon for PC.

      You could at least confirm if a container is indeed empty or not though. I could see that being useful in some weird situations. For example if someone hid something in a container yard, you can at least rule out all the empty ones.

  3 and 7. 3- you could get all those things that were just almost at your reach. Also, is it 7in of displacement or 7inches in front of where you are, like there’s a 7in wall you can go through it? 7- if you can’t see through it it means it’s full. That’s so freaking helpful!!!

  1 and 2, but really only 1. If I can talk to oysters then I can figure out how to grow black pearls better and make some serious cash. If the oysters decide they don’t want to help then I can sell gravel.

  1 and 2. The gravel to sell and the oysters to get a sense of how communications with other animals work. If I can communicate with an oyster, my understanding of communication could potentially extrapolate to higher animals.
