2 and 7 I will trade gravel for everything I can.

Arthur_Leywin ,

1 and 2. The gravel to sell and the oysters to get a sense of how communications with other animals work. If I can communicate with an oyster, my understanding of communication could potentially extrapolate to higher animals.

    Deal or No Deal wouldn’t work as the briefcases all have something inside of them: a placard with a dollar amount

    I would take the toaster one just so I could mess with my friends

    Choosing 3 and 7 seems the most intuitive to me. 3 to move to inaccessible places with like glass windows as separation. 7 to check if containers are empty or not.

    MooseBoys ,

    I wouldn’t interpret 7 inches as the amount of a gap you can cross - I would interpret it as literally translating your body 7 inches in one direction. Unless you can fit your body between two planes 7 inches apart, you’re not going to be teleporting through any barriers.

    For me the decision comes down how this teleportation power works. If you can teleport 7 inches but in rapid succession and can do so while also running you’ll effectively have super speed.

    TheWanderer ,

    Definition of teleportation: “Teleportation is the hypothetical transfer of matter or energy from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them.” Again this is scifi stuff at this moment. So with this definition I can technically cross barriers which are less than 7 inches like for example glass panes

    MooseBoys ,

    transfer of matter or energy from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them

    Right. So stand one inch in front of a piece of glass. Your nose teleports 7” forward and is now 6” behind the glass. All good. Your tongue teleports 7” forward and is now 5” behind the glass. Still good. Your cheeks teleport 7” forward and are now 4” behind the glass… Your ears teleport 7” forward and are now 3” behind the glass… Your spine teleports 7” forward and is now just barely behind the glass… Your shoulder blades teleport 7” forward and are now still in front of the glass. Your ass cheeks teleport 7” forward and are still well in front of the glass. You now have a plane of glass running through the entire length of your body, bisecting your ass, spine, shoulder blades, and the back of your head. The effect of this bisection is left as an exercise for the reader’s imagination.

    TheWanderer ,

    Haha cool cool, I just understood what you meant. Yeah that makes sense. To cross barriers, It would either have to be way more than 7 inches or I have to be cartoonishly flat parellel to the barrier.

    Donkter ,

    Depending on the limitations, teleporting a short distance should allow you to practically fly.

    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.

    What’s the cooldown and specifics of #6?

    Is it a one-time pill effect or a power you gain? Do you stay looking however you did 10 hours ago forever?

    If it’s a power, let’s say you use it immediately twice in a row. First time: boom. 10 hours younger. Second time: does nothing happen or do you then look 10 hours younger than then how you currently appear? So you look 20 hours younger. Could you keep spamming it indefinitely until you very slowly reach any age you want?

    I suppose that depends on whether it makes you look 10 hours younger than you ARE or 10 hours younger than you CURRENTLY APPEAR.

    I…I’m spending too much time thinking about this.

    wolfpack86 ,

    I think it’s as simple as your visual appearance is simply n - 10h

    mack7400 ,

    You know, there’s a story in here somewhere. A monkey’s paw that only grants shitty-sounding wishes, but the side-effects are massively beneficial.

    1. 7 inch teleport is cheater for boxing. Idc about the other ones.
    chicken ,

    5 to grant me an unstoppable botnet of all the smart toasters out there, 7 to get ansible capability

    THATS NOT IN THE PLAYBOOK JOHN

    7 and 3, no contest. With the ability to see inside containers and short teleport, a person could become a master thief fast

    PeepinGoodArgs ,

    Well…you can see inside empty containers. What’s in non-empty containers would be anyone’s guess

    Tofumon ,

    You could at least confirm if a container is indeed empty or not though. I could see that being useful in some weird situations. For example if someone hid something in a container yard, you can at least rule out all the empty ones.

    Sabre363 ,

    3 and 8. Teleporting is a neat party trick and speaking an extinct language would make me sound smart.

    TubeTalkerX ,

    Definitely #5 so I can shut up that Demented Toaster!

    troglodytis ,

    Ah, so you’re a waffle man!

    Do I have to pick two? Because I just want #6

    justlookingfordragon OP ,
    @justlookingfordragon@lemmy.world avatar

    Easy. Just pick #6 twice so you can look 20 hours younger instantly. =P

    Risk ,

    Does that mean if I pick #9 twice I can run twice as fast as Albert Einstein?

    GlitterInfection ,

    How fast do you think a dead body can run?

    ObviouslyNotBanana ,
    @ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world avatar

    67mph

    troglodytis ,

    You can, not you must.

    ObviouslyNotBanana ,
    @ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world avatar

    It doesn’t matter if it’s in a can or a bottle I’ll only take one pill!

    Lolors17 ,

    Apart fron all the others, number 7 seems kinda useful.

    brlemworld ,

    Yep. This cup has the ball in it because I can see inside the others. Give me my $20.

    LostWon ,

    Depending on how fast the teleport is, whether there’s a delay between uses and whether it causes significant fatigue or other side effects, I might take that. Other than that, it’s a toss-up for me between the extinct language and communicating with oysters.
