Become the most profitable gravel supplier in history due to having no land acquisition or extraction costs, not to mention no need to plan for when one site runs out of usable gravel.

criitz ,

3 and 7 have real uses. Get past locked doors, etc.

EtherWhack ,
@EtherWhack@lemmy.world avatar

Can also mess with quantum mechanics too, given you know what’s inside the box

Filthmontane ,

2 and 8. Start a gravel selling business and write a book on Khitan

Discoslugs ,
@Discoslugs@lemmy.world avatar

Such a low bar for success. Count me in.

Karyoplasma ,

5 and 8.

Languages are rad and so are toasters.

3 - It doesn’t say it has a cool down so you can just spam it and go insanely fast

7 - It will be pretty useful in game shows. You can take a look inside a deck of cards and their order in their box. You know those “find the pebble in the right cup” street hustlers.

Waraugh ,

I bet clothes are containers too, win/lose there

RampantParanoia2365 ,

3 and 7 can work together. Ability to teleport inside any empty container.

merc ,

Why do you think you could find out the order of a deck of cards? You can only see in the box if it’s empty.

But, it could be useful for that street hustle… as long as they’re not doing the sleight of hand after you pick. You could claim that they were cheating, but people presumably always claim they’re cheating.

Simulation6 ,

3 and 6. There was no limit to how often you can use the power, so just spam them. Look 20 and fly.

2 and 3

Assuming I have the ability to Summon free gravel

I could use it for all sorts of things such as making money, using it as a throwing weapon, etcetera

With the teleportation I could just chain I and travel to any country while maintaining a safe speed limit for my body during transition in and out of teleporting

zipzoopaboop ,

Yeah no contest. Gravel can be sold, can teleport through walls or doors

Rhllor ,

3 is just like diablo 2 sorcs just with more button spamming

Cipher22 ,

I will make 10’s to 100’s of thousands paving roads with gravel and be more than willing to pave roads for people who can’t maybe afford it without consequence.

Empty containers may be profitable as well since I could verify which shipping containers could be skipped for further processing, saving hundreds to thousands of hours of time, over time.

Daft_ish ,

Run as fast as Albert Einstein would be a godsend for someone who is paralyzed.

whoisearth ,
@whoisearth@lemmy.ca avatar

But as soon as you stop running you’re paralyzed again. So says the monkeys paw

BigBlackCockroach ,
@BigBlackCockroach@lemmy.world avatar

If you can run physics experiments or a research group as fast as albert einstein or if you can run some calculations or even just your mouth as fast as albert einstein that would be something I wouldn’t shake a stick at.

merc ,

Well, except he’s currently dead so his running speed is zero.

taiyang ,

Everyone is saying 2 for the economic benefits of gravel, but you gotta approach this like a monkeys paw curse. Where is the gravel coming from? Best case it manifests, but physically that’s unlikely. Maybe a box of gravel every week like a weird sweepstakes? Again, if you’re lucky.

No, in this scenario you get free gravel… in your shoes… every moment of every day and every time you take your shoes off and remove the trace amounts of gravel, the moment you put them back on its there again. Always just enough to annoy you and never when you want it.

Oddly enough I think reviving the lost language is probably the least likely to curse you. I mean, maybe it means you lose something else in your brain (like all the other useless trivia I know and all the names I forget) but you’d probably be able to get recognition from academic linguists enough that you probably could get enough journal submissions out of it to have a modest career at a second rate university somewhere.

Sconrad122 ,

Congratulations, you now speak Khitan and only Khitan. Good luck finding one of the few researchers in the world who will understand that you are speaking an extinct language before being thrown in the looney bin for spouting nonsense Andreas Toma-style

ccdfa ,

Most likely with the language the monkey’s paw would be that you can’t speak any other language. I imagine you’d also be unable to learn any other language again. At any rate, linguists would still celebrate and you’d just have to make friends with people who want to learn that language for some professional, academic reason

Godnroc ,

Free gravel for life. It kills you instantly.

leaky_shower_thought ,

4 and 5.

toasters are cool. having them do your bidding? priceless.

4 because I am a kind and generous person. free noses for everybody~*!

*you can opt-out

Knetsqu ,

5 8

TheGalacticVoid ,

3 and 7. With 3 you can essentially walk through walls, and with 7 you will know exactly which boxes you don’t need to check when looking for something.

shifted_drifter ,

Very very thin walls, depending on how the 7 inches is calculated (like from your center of mass or from the outer boundary of your form? Do your clothes come with you? Etc)

Not_Alec_Baldwin ,

Unfortunately most walls are thicker than 7" when accounting for decorations, furniture, trim, etc. Not to mention adding your own thickness.

TheGalacticVoid ,

Do you live in the US? If you’re European, American walls are essentially glorified paper and are pretty thin.

Not_Alec_Baldwin ,

America.

2x4 studs are 3.5" deep. Even interior walls have drywall on both sides, usually over a half inch, but even half inch drywall, tape, mud, and paint, gets us to 4.5-5" thick.

That gives you a 2 inch “buffer”.

Is your body thicker than 2"?

There’s just no way it works.

TheGalacticVoid ,

OP never defined what happens when you teleport within objects, so it could still be fair game ¯_(ツ)_/¯

EDIT: trying to fix my shrug

LesserAbe ,

Getting powers and immediately offing yourself by phasing into a wall

papertowels ,

Not how I wanted to become a stud, but I’ll take it

stom ,
@stom@lemmy.world avatar

Only if you’re less than 7 inches across in the direction you’re teleporting. This is only useful for the super-skinny, otherwise you’re going to splinch yourself into a wall.

Kolanaki ,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

7 is a power your character has in Fallout 4 and Starfield.

I would take 1 and 8. 1 because it’d be cool to talk to animals (even if it’s just oysters) and 8 because maybe some oysters still speak Khitan.

Surdon ,

Somehow I doubt oysters have anything interesting to say

Kushia ,
@Kushia@lemmy.ml avatar

Doesn’t say there’s a limit on how many pills of your choice you can take so I assume you’ll get an ongoing prescription of them. In which case, I’m taking 6 and reliving my 20s forever.
