In a world where some people can control toasters with their mind, free gravel disappears as soon as you put a price tag on it. I'm sorry if you don't like that, but I don't make the rules.
The original question also doesn't state that gravity attracts everything but oysters or that Albert Einstein has two runny noses. But that's how it is. These are just the basic rules of the fantasy pill world. Everybody knows that (at least I thought so).
For real, free gravel for life is the choice. You can start a gravel business and sell that shit. According to Google a 100ft driveway can cost upwards of $3k to gravel.
The real question is, does free gravel mean you can spawn gravel? Or buy it for free? Both require a good amount of logistical planning to take advantage of to build a gravel empire
The logistics isn't that much of a problem. Start small and make yourself a name by being trustworthy and way cheaper than the competition. If you succeed at this stage you can hire people and expand in no time.
The empty container depends on the definition of "container" and "empty". If a house is a container for people it's easy to rob when empty. If you have to be looking at an airless vacuum it's dogshit. Otherwise I'm sure you could make money with a creative gambling scheme.
Gravel for life, like an infinite bucket full? Or the typical "for life" shit where you just get one trailer full dumped in your driveway every year for 60 years. Probably an overrated pick.
Teleporting is almost certainly the best pick. Is there a cool down? Do you keep momentum? Can it be in any direction? Does it take the same effort as walking? If you can spam it at the speed thought, you're now flying. Even with a CD you could be a world class athlete in a lot of sports. Or just do simple stuff like reach a high shelf or teleport out of handcuffs.
Usually bodies are more than 7 inches wide, so you wouldn't end up naked, but with a t-shirt somewhere inside your body. So if it works like that, I'd advise you not to choose that pill. That is, unless you're an oyster.
And the minute you do it wrong you’ve fused with a fence or a steel door or something and are probably dead so it would require a ton of practice to know your limits
Being able to teleport into a region already containing air without creating a nuclear blast requires that you can already either instantly displace the air in the target region (which would make a Very Loud Noise) or switch places with it, so there are possible interpretations of the power where teleporting into a fence would leave behind a detached section of fence or bend it out of your way
I think I'm normal teleporting scenarios it doesn't allow you to teleport into 'objects', though obviously there has to be some exception for air or it's basically worthless. I don't think I've ever seen any scenario where you displace anything other than gas?
You would still need to be able to displace suspended particles, bacteria, and small insects, otherwise you wouldn't be able to teleport outside of a clean room
True, but have you ever seen it depicted where someone transported into a solid object wasnt basically killed? Outside of whatever mechanism somehow explains the background air/insects/etc?
My guess is that easily movable things are explained by some vague bubble or displacement mechanism where the transported person/object starts as a point and as long as the medium is compressible or movable, things just shift out of the way to make room. As long as it's not instantaneous, and the object isn't gigantic, there's no risk of moving into to area to fast and at most there is some air movement associated with the shift.
The alternative is that the displaced environment trades places with the transported object, so the air/bugs/parts of the wall show up where the person/object transported from. Guessing this mechanism isn't since it opens up a lot of options like using it for mining or kidnapping/theft/etc.
True, so I guess in this case the possibility would be that you could get stuck in an object by displacing it, but by continuously displacing, theoretically you could get unstuck
You could pass through anything as long as you're willing to destroy it in the process
If you work in demolition you could take out a wall by continuously teleporting through it, if you wanted to do typical superhero stuff it would be good in a fight but nonlethal attacks aren't really an option
True, though this doesn’t cover whether you’d feel the effects of the teleportation, or I guess also how fast you could teleport. Teleporting through air is probably not crazy, but if only every atom of you teleports into solid steel or rock, you’ll basically be stuck for as long as your brain takes to process the next teleportation. If you don’t do it with a full breath you can’t breath in, your hairs might get stuck from tiny muscle movements, if your eyes are open, they are now just touching rock or steel, I think it would require some practice to know the right like “body preparation” to do without harming yourself.
What you gotta do is carry a small object and hold it in front of you, and then teleport forward and back so that the object goes into and out of the lock, breaking it.
Gravel ofc. Just imagine being able to provide every construction site on earth with cheap gravel with no cost at all. I'd be the first billionaire on earth who didn't fuck other people over to be absurdly rich.
Thought the same thing but it doesn't say how the gravel is obtained. I assume there's still going to be transportation costs and "life" could be as short as how long it takes to be smothered by a heap of free gravel. I am suspicious.
Being able to see inside empty containers has its uses because you can always check if you can see into it and know something’s in it. Knowing IF something has contents can be plenty useful.
3 for sure. Depending on how teleporting into other objects works, and how fast you can spam it, you could get some serious work done with a power like that.
When you play Noita you discover that the way to move fast is to teleport shorter distance possible and spam it. It is also better for avoiding obstacles
Didn't think about the wheelchair thing, good point. Anyway, I got a shitty cardio, during most of his time on earth, old Albert who have beaten me in a 100m sprint.
A manga artist would find a way to make one of these the most op power in their entire universe. "I can fill anyones lungs with gravel with just a thought" or " i teleported 5 cms into you and severed a nerve in your spine that paralyzes you for life"
Number 7 might let you cheat at some carnival/gambling games. Which of these 1000 boxes has the million dollars in it? The one I can't see through, of course!
But.. no container is truly empty.
Usually they contain air, but even in space there'd be one or two molecules banging around inside.
You'd never see anything.
If I grow a second nose, will it also be stuffed up? If so, I choose teleportation. I know it's only 7 inches but that's enough to get around most doors so it's still useful.
Teleporting 7 inches still sounds kinda badass, would be very useful in a fight or you could just stand and repeatedly teleport to recreate that OK GO video.
Speaking a dead language would be cool. Maybe teach it to others and read into the history, etymology and people of it. Talk to historians and what not.
Only if you are thinner than 7" minus the thickness of the door. Otherwise, you would teleport right into the door, which (I assume) might be quite painful.
I feel as though there is money making opportunity in 8. The language is dead? Nobody alive who can speak the language, so I'd have more or less free reign to profit off of being the only person who could speak it.
Best case scenario, I find some linguist willing to pay me to help with their understanding of the language. Worst case scenario, I'm the only person who can speak this language.
Also, if nothing else, I could impress people by being the only person in the world who speaks a specific language.
Who defines what is a toaster? Could the whole universe be considered one since it heats up bread? Yes, it does some other stuff in the process but so do some other toasters.
I think 3 is the most useful. You can use it to reach things just out of your height range and maybe as a party trick. I'm sure there are other uses for it too, given enough time I could probably think of some other uses too.
There's no mention of a cool down. You can repeat it as soon as you've fully materialised at the first 7–inch destination. Assuming teleportation is immediate, and there's no refractory period, the distance limit is effectively meaningless.
"What is the meaning of toaster?" Is a powerful question. Either able to push buttons and push levers down if the intent is toasting bread, or making a heat coil glow with the intent of cooking bread. Either way, the nuclear industry would be ratically altered. Theres also just a industrial toast factory secretly sponsored by big "nuclear" deticated to making, shipping and toasting bread as slowly as possable. With propaganda for toast simmar to "Got Milk?"
Control the toaster in a smart home that's connected to the system and hack into the security system to kill the inhabitants and hand over the building to homeless and mutual aid organizations #eattherich
Free gravel. That's building material. You can always sell building material.
But then you would never learn the secrets of the oysters.
Yo, this dirty ocean water be bussin'
Pretty sure the only thing oysters will say to you is "fuck off".
I could make them talk.
I cannot tell you how many ways free gravel for life would help me, but it’s definitely a lot
The only right answer.
But if it's free, you can't sell it. Otherwise it would no longer be free.
EDITH: I'm surprised how many downvotes your getting for posting a shit post in a shitposting community :-D
Free for me, not for thee.
In a world where some people can control toasters with their mind, free gravel disappears as soon as you put a price tag on it. I'm sorry if you don't like that, but I don't make the rules.
Really? Because that rule wasn't in the original question and you just made it up.
The original question also doesn't state that gravity attracts everything but oysters or that Albert Einstein has two runny noses. But that's how it is. These are just the basic rules of the fantasy pill world. Everybody knows that (at least I thought so).
With comprehension like that You could be a financial advisor for the US government.
In order to do that I'd have to take 💊 № 1 though, so I'd be able to communicate with people who are sℏellfish.
Gravel is expensive if you're doing a lot of landscaping. I'll supply all of the entrepeneurs in the area and make a fortune.

If you can spawn it, you technically have the solution to entropy, possibly also free energy.
what if you have to pass it piece by piece from your bladder
Let's hear what the oysters are up to...
The logistics isn't that much of a problem. Start small and make yourself a name by being trustworthy and way cheaper than the competition. If you succeed at this stage you can hire people and expand in no time.
With a 12ft width, that’s about 15-18” subbase, which is overkill. Wondering if that $3k includes installation.
This.
Free gravel for life is OP! (probly gets nerfed in the next update)
Would need the details on some of these.
Teleporting out of you handcuffs also implies you'd lose your clothes every time you teleport.
I don't see the issue?
Usually bodies are more than 7 inches wide, so you wouldn't end up naked, but with a t-shirt somewhere inside your body. So if it works like that, I'd advise you not to choose that pill. That is, unless you're an oyster.
Number three will get you through most all fences, walls, and locked doors. Become ungovernable.
Hopefully it's a7 inch gap, if it's 7 inches from center mass you're not really fully shifting position.
And the minute you do it wrong you’ve fused with a fence or a steel door or something and are probably dead so it would require a ton of practice to know your limits

True true
I too assume it's 7" from center of mass. So not even beyond the boundary of my body.

3 for sure. Depending on how teleporting into other objects works, and how fast you can spam it, you could get some serious work done with a power like that.
yeah, #3 is a time machine if you can spam it faster than light can travel 7 inches
When you play Noita you discover that the way to move fast is to teleport shorter distance possible and spam it. It is also better for avoiding obstacles
Can I use .3 as some sort of short-range contiguous Alcubierre drive, by using it repeatedly very fast?
Number seven. And then piss off every "pea under shell" trickster, because you can see which shells are empty.
I'll give you a hint, they're all empty.
But aren't the shells more covers than containers?
I shall abuse these toaster powers thoroughly and for my own amusement. Every toaster on the planet will go off at the same time!
I'm torn. Kinda curious about what oysters are thinking, but pretty sure Einstein could run faster than me.
I don’t think he can run very fast now though 🤔
It doesn't specify Einstein's age. Plus this ability would be priceless for people in wheelchairs.
Didn't think about the wheelchair thing, good point. Anyway, I got a shitty cardio, during most of his time on earth, old Albert who have beaten me in a 100m sprint.
Now, or when he was alive?
yes.
A manga artist would find a way to make one of these the most op power in their entire universe. "I can fill anyones lungs with gravel with just a thought" or " i teleported 5 cms into you and severed a nerve in your spine that paralyzes you for life"
Shhh! Thats Elasta-girl's big secret!
3 or 7.
Doesn't mention any cooldown on the teleport so I could probably spam it which would make it useful.
7 sounds stupid but it could be actually useful in some situations.
Most humans can already teleport 7 inches instantly... It's called walking. The free gravel is where it's at!
Do you use a different definition of 'instantly' or do you have some secret arcane knowledge
I ran the quarter mile in 1 pico-second back in school.
So, both?
Number 7 might let you cheat at some carnival/gambling games. Which of these 1000 boxes has the million dollars in it? The one I can't see through, of course!

You'd never see anything.
How does the free gravel thing work? Can I just summon it in a location of my choice? Or is there a guy who delivers it to me?
It spawns in your gizzard
If I grow a second nose, will it also be stuffed up? If so, I choose teleportation. I know it's only 7 inches but that's enough to get around most doors so it's still useful.
That depends on how thick both you and the door are. Still, its probably the best one there.
Both noses will be running all the time, but just as fast as the noses of Albert Einstein.
Teleporting 7 inches still sounds kinda badass, would be very useful in a fight or you could just stand and repeatedly teleport to recreate that OK GO video.
Speaking a dead language would be cool. Maybe teach it to others and read into the history, etymology and people of it. Talk to historians and what not.
cureently doing a massive landscape job, then moving to a friend's place for same and putting in a bunch of paving. free gravel pls
I COULD DO SO MUCH MORE COCAINE WITH ANOTHER NOSE
3 will get you past most any locked door or fence.
Only if you are thinner than 7" minus the thickness of the door. Otherwise, you would teleport right into the door, which (I assume) might be quite painful.
Good point.. It's not as far as I thought
Please, someone tell me where I can find a full Sub of these! I love these so much.
I feel as though there is money making opportunity in 8. The language is dead? Nobody alive who can speak the language, so I'd have more or less free reign to profit off of being the only person who could speak it.
Sure but selling gravel has instant world wide business opportunities. Gravel is the better money making option.
Eh, the easier money making scheme of selling gravel just seems boring to me
Good luck finding someone to talk to
Best case scenario, I find some linguist willing to pay me to help with their understanding of the language. Worst case scenario, I'm the only person who can speak this language.
Also, if nothing else, I could impress people by being the only person in the world who speaks a specific language.
There's no rule saying I can't pick more than one so
2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8
toaster control, if there's no limits I can fire toast as fast as a bullet
Who defines what is a toaster? Could the whole universe be considered one since it heats up bread? Yes, it does some other stuff in the process but so do some other toasters.
Looking 10 hours younger would go crazy as an autopsy thing in a murder mystery
I think 3 is the most useful. You can use it to reach things just out of your height range and maybe as a party trick. I'm sure there are other uses for it too, given enough time I could probably think of some other uses too.
There's no mention of a cool down. You can repeat it as soon as you've fully materialised at the first 7–inch destination. Assuming teleportation is immediate, and there's no refractory period, the distance limit is effectively meaningless.
for me 🤔it's a toss up between 1 and 2.
1 can lead me to pearls = money 2 I can create a gravel for sale business = money.
I guess I choose 1 just to communicate with something weird. 2 is the easier one.
Just because you can communicate with them doesn't mean they want to talk to you.
you don't know if I'm into that sort of thing.
How often can you teleport?
Teleport 7in away, un governable
"What is the meaning of toaster?" Is a powerful question. Either able to push buttons and push levers down if the intent is toasting bread, or making a heat coil glow with the intent of cooking bread.

None? Lol
Wait did you just take all of them?
10 hours younger. Lol
Free Mike Gravel for life!
Control the toaster in a smart home that's connected to the system and hack into the security system to kill the inhabitants and hand over the building to homeless and mutual aid organizations #eattherich
Where does the gravel come from? Am I making the Earth heavier when I use this power?
