We can teleport 7 inches, but there is no cool down specified.
- Go outside.
- Teleport 7 inches at a time into the sky, at such a high rate it’s nearly instant.
- Teleport 7 inches at a time to whatever location you want, at such a high rate it’s nearly instant.
Nice loophole, try not to get motion sickness
I’d vomiting within three teleports. I’ll stick with uhhhh ancient useless languages!
Or teleport through a wall
Just don’t put a door on your house.
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.
Gravel king 100%
uuh I read “can communicate with others” for 1. and i thought “that’d be useful actually”
I’ll go with #7 I’m curious, and I’d figure out what the limitations of a 'container" is. And maybe I could get a job at the docks knowing what shipping containers are empty or not, or maybe if a lung is a container, I could become a med tech. Many possibilities
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.
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…
I love microfiction. Thank you
Gravel ain’t cheap.
as an example look at the documentary game called “team fortress two”
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.
You’d do very well on a few game shows, too!
7 inches will get me past a window.
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.
It also doesn’t specify how often/quick you can do it, so you could still move at breakneck speeds, 7 inches at a time
Yes, but what happens if I teleport into a bird one of those times? D:
Or a locked door.
Or more likely half way through the window, except if you’re really really slim!
You’d be an amazing fencer
infinite gravel for lifeeeee 🤑🤑🤑
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.
3 (it doesn’t say there is a cooldown)
7 is huge because “container” and “empty” are much less specific than you’d think
Empty is only a true vacuum. You’re not looking inside any container then muhaha
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…
also you’d never lose that game where a coin is shuffled beneath 3 glasses
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.
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.
motion sickness.
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.
Starseige Tribes prepared me for this. Let the telefrags commence!
Exactly.
Can I manifest the gravel or is it like I can just jedi mind trick the delivery driver?
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
Einstein is a very slow runner, currently.
Well if you are currently unable to walk…
