      This certainly seems like the best out of these options. Start a gravel company. Infinite stock. If you can just create it out of nothing at the location of your choosing, you don’t even have to pay for trucks, which I imagine is probably a greater cost in the gravel industry than the gravel itself.

    Listen, teleporting is always so busted that even 7 inches is enough to teleport through doors, fences, or restraints.

    Only if your skinny and tuck your feet to the side though, even not though you’ll at least be able to jump higher.

    We can teleport 7 inches, but there is no cool down specified.

    1. Go outside.
    2. Teleport 7 inches at a time into the sky, at such a high rate it’s nearly instant.
    3. Teleport 7 inches at a time to whatever location you want, at such a high rate it’s nearly instant.

    Does 3 cost me any energy, or are there any other limitations on how quickly I can teleport?

    Yeah it’s a little annoying to only be able to go seven inches at a time, but if there’s no limitations or cooldowns, you can move seven inches every ~250 milliseconds. That’s pretty close to a mile and a half a minute. If it doesn’t exhaust you, that’s still a pretty efficient and speedy method of travel.

        Sure, but that depends on the person. You shouldn’t get that much more motion sick than you would be traveling in a car at 80 mph.

        You also aren’t technically moving, which is an interesting thing to think about. You’re standing still the whole time, and magically appearing seven inches ahead as fast as you can react. Your vestibular system shouldn’t actually detect any movement at all, so maybe people sensitive to carsickness would still be okay.

          Instant teleportation also would result in the sudden creation of a vaccum at your prior location, only 7 inches away. This cavitation would then immediately collapse in on itself from the surrounding air, and would likely result in some not nice things happening to your body as you experienced that shockwave. I guess you could continue to instantly teleport if the cooldown is basically zero, but no matter when you stop, you’ll always be seven inches away from your latest hole.

    The gravel one would make you rich pretty quickly depending on how fast you can conjure it.

    The teleport 7 inches thing would get you through almost any door or fence including an most stud walls including vault walls.

    Id pick the gravel one I think though. Again depending on how fast you can make it. If its a cup per 24hr then the teleport is where its at.

    1. You could probably make a career out of the scientific discoveries this would lead to
    2. basically infinite money but inconvenient
    3. Absolutely the best of the bunch, being able to skip through walls is great even if the exploit about speed teleport doesn’t work.
    4. Could your brain use two noses like two eyes and gain depth and direction sensing? if so that could be pretty cool, probably not worth the cost of having people want to study you for spontaneously growing an extra functional nose.
    5. Is this infinite range, could have it set up to do anything mentally at a distance.
    6. absolutely useless, because it’s only look, not be, and you don’t look different in 10hours
    7. Could be good to know whether a container is empty.
    8. A career as a historian
    9. Him in his prime? either way probably a downgrade for a lot of people, especially if it stops you getting better over time

      But if you use #6 every 10 hours you’ll stop aging altogether, so essentially it’s an immortality drug. If it is just the looks that stay, it still means your skin cells aren’t bogged down with broken and aged skin cells. You are now immune from skin cancer.

      Just don’t sleep in over 10 hours and you’re good.

        I guess I interpreted that one as a one off usage (i guess i assumed the opposite for the teleport so thats not really fair), if its repeatable, it’s much more useful, but it still wouldn’t stop all the internal aging that will actually kill you.

    I will build a mech from toasters. I will implant tiny toasters on to satellites and rockets to control the world from space.

    Are babies toasters? I will use my toaster powers to change the definition of toasters in all major dictionaries. The sun is a toaster. People are toasters. I control all life. Mortality is a toaster. There is no bread, only toast. Press the lever down again. The brave little toaster is a global icon. Press the lever down again. We are the immoral children of a loafing god. Press the lever down again. Mosquitos no longer exist, or maybe they do, they’ve just been transtoastified into kittens. Push the lever down again. No more paper cuts. Push the lever down again. Now I have a nice hat. Push the lever down again.

    Push the lever down again…
