You still pay the shipping fees.
Teleport 7 inches away easy lock in:
Teleport up 7 inches on a generator perpetual motion machine.
Walk through thin walls / safes.
Repeatedly teleport forwards never have to walk again.
Teleport out of bed every morning.
Teleport out of clothes at night / sexy times
Look cool AF.
Unless your body is less than 7 inches wide, all but the first and third one of those is going to involve nightmarish scenarios of walls, clothes, etc. getting stuck in your body.
Does momentum reset after a teleport? Could I jump off a cliff and teleport left and right like going down stairs?
ANY toaster. If you go to a wedding or any formal event with drinks, you can control whoever's giving the toast. That could be pretty powerful.
Puppeteering at its finest.
Okay, I'll bite this time.
- Don't see any use.
- Sell gravel. Become rich.
- If no cooldown you can spam and teleport anywhere as long as there's a path between A and B
- Not sure.
- Turning on every toaster in the world at the same time would probably cripple the various power grids globally.
- If it stacks you could look quite young.
- Could probably make some money checking if safes are empty or not. Doesn't say anything about distance. Could remotely check containers for people. Depends as well on the definition of empty.
- Would be hugely beneficial to some archeologists.
- For anyone who is unable to walk currently this would be good. What happens if you cut your legs off? Can you fly afterwards?
- Don't see any use.
- ~~Not sure~~ Might be useful, but who nose.
FTFY
- ...Depends as well on the definition of empty.
"Yep, another container that does not contain a perfect vacuum. Should have taken the free gravel pill..."
If you pick 9 and then cut your legs off, you'll have the ability to run as fast as Albert Einstein with his legs cut off could.
Imagine how fast that guy could go if he devoted his life to building performance accessibility aids instead of pursuing physics. He probably would have robotic cybernetic legs that outperformed any human runners.
Unless he was as skilled in robotics and engineering as a fish was at climbing trees.
Gravel is basically free already. The real cost is putting it where you want it to be.
I mean that is the best pill. It's like inheriting a free quarry. I could instantly undercut every other quarry and would not need to maintain any of the crushers or land to provide any type of gravel.
I'm definitely choosing that one for sure.
Could definitely use free gravel
3 means general immunity to locked doors and restraints
Doors no... handcuffs yes.
Most doors are not 7" thick...
The door might not be, but what about the person? Pretty sure most adults are more than 7" thick from sternum to spine. If you're back is only moving 7" forward you're going to end up in the door.
They aren't, but your body is. If you move just 7 inches forward, part of your body might merge with the door.
This is Nightcrawler's worse nightmare, BTW.
But people are more than 7" thick. It depends on how you interpret it I guess, I read it as moving 7" in any direction which means you'll still overlap with your own body, but if you read it as there being a 7" gap between where you were and where you are now then it would work.

I would be the Gravel King. You need gravel, you come to me. I would be a benevolent king though. I would grant gravel to those that need it.
It doesn't say the quantity, though. It might be a very small amount every so often. But, if that's not the case, and if we also get to choose where the gravel appears, then I'm using it to construct a man made island out in international waters.
Yeah, the devil is in the details. Is there a cooldown? Are there quantity limitations? Location could be interesting because you could put ten tons of gravel a mile high and drop it. You could have Nasa pay you to quickly assemble a compacted gravel mini-moon at a lagrange point for a space dock.
Or maybe you get gravel in the same sense that someone could own Jupiter or a star. "You now own all the gravel in that quary!" But it doesn't inform the workers of that fact, or the officials who still rely on whatever paperwork was filled out by the agents of the guy who paid them to ensure the quary belongs to his corporation's corporation. The whole idea of ownership is pretty abstract in the first place.
Could be that every pill just means that, under the jurisdiction of the entity who made the pills, you are legally allowed to do what the pills claim, though you need to figure out the rest from there, and people from other jurisdictions are able to disagree even if you do figure out the how.
Exactly. This one is infinite money glitch
Are we talking about Albert Einstein in his prime, or Albert Einstein now?
Could we put Einstein's bones in a centrifuge, and run at 200km/h?
- Damn you Plutarch!
Depending on how fast you can teleport you could move pretty quickly. Even 12 teleports a second gets you 4.5 mph in any direction. Could be useful depending on the cooldown but for any significant speed you’d need to teleport really quickly. 20 teleports a second is almost 8 mph
It does raise the question on if this could be useful in some sort of hand to hand combat situation. What happens if I my fist is 6" away from your face and I teleport 7" forward? I guess the same question applies to walls. If I can just teleport through matter, then it's usefulness is suddenly quite high.

I could do so much with free gravel, you have no idea.
If you have even the most-basic business sense, this instantly turns you into an uber-wealthy gravel tycoon.
Even if we decide that the teleport might not get you through doors, if you could spam it faster than (works out maths...) 10 times per second, they you could hover, or really slowly fly (about 0.8 inches per second horizontally)
7 has the mild convenience of quickly eliminating any empty containers from search for whatever you're missing. But really Free Gravel is the winner here.
How do we define empty? Is air empty? If yes then at which gas do we delineate empty vs not empty?
Gravel can be turned into sand. Sand can be turned into concrete and glass. So this one scales pretty quickly.
On the other hand, all I have to do is build a single toaster robot that can build other toaster robots and I’m on my way to toaster robot army.
