    You now can start a gravel delivery business with no overhead of having to quarry and crush rock. Massive profits while you undercut your competitors. Your rock gets magically delivered on Sundays you give all your employees off. A (magically) honest living.

    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.

    Seeing inside an empty container might have a niche usecase where you can infer which containers are not empty, because you can’t see inside of them instantly. Maybe if you’re doing a job where you have to put away all empty containers, this would save time.

      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.

    7 is huge because “container” and “empty” are much less specific than you’d think

      I was trying to come up with a way to use 3 to get through bank vault doors, but I like this. Any empty transparent box suddenly becomes a surveillance tool…

        Teleport again right away. Go right in while the vault doors are open during the day. Yes they’d know something was happening, but you’d effectively be moving extremely fast.

      Or more likely half way through the window, except if you’re really really slim!

      I thought it was 7 inches of total movement which would get me to be intersected by a window.

      If there’s no cooldown though I think it could still be useful for being really fast.

    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.

      Most people are more than 7” thick. I don’t think it’s as useful as it sounds. Even if you are, you probably have to be mid jump to avoid cutting off your toes or worse, merging your back with the door if you forget to face backwards first.

        I’d hope your 7” travel would be counted the trailing edge of your body in the direction of travel front to rear, so a full 7”. Measured from shoetip start to heel end. Most walls in stickbuilt homes are only ~4 1/4” thick, you could teleport through those. If only from tip of shoe to tip of shoe, you’re right. You’d teleport inside your own space. Kinda useless.

    So I can’t currently run at all… Running as fast as Einstein might be an improvement, depending on what age we’re talking about

    Can I manifest the gravel or is it like I can just jedi mind trick the delivery driver?

    If I attach sensors of whatever kind to a bunch of toasters, I can use the sensor output to do whatver I want. So it goes from mind controlled toasters to mind contolled anything, really.

    Suppose I can control the temperature on toasters. Attach heat sensors on four toasters and interpret the heat level as up/down/left/right. Pass that to a drone and I have a mind controlled drone :P

    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.

    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.

            surely it means you’re swapping places with the matter that’s in the way right? Otherwise your body combining with the air molecules would be pretty violent by itself

              Okay, but if we allow this then that means you are now an unstoppable war machine who can instantaneously rip apart any structure by teleporting into it, and moving those molecules several inches away. Kill anyone in an extremely violent partial teleport, destroy tanks, collapse skyscrapers, the world is your oyster! Being some demigod tier entity sounds too cool compared to the others though, easiest pill choice of your life.
