    Easy, free gravel. Become a gravel salesman.

    Would be interesting to see how it appears though. Can I get to just point to a spot and suddenly gravel? If so, charge people for the show too. Just rock up to their house, point at the driveway and boom, gravel. Easy money.

    Added bonus: don’t like someone? Boom, house literally full of gravel.

    Gravel.

    Free Gravel?

    This one is clearly the best choice. That shit is expensive!

    Start a gravel business, destroy the competition, and create a gravel empire.

    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?

      Hell, not even that. You could become a world class boxer or UFC fighter. You can basically slip any punch or attack instantly and you can teleport your fists into the sweet spot to score a knockout. You would be an amazing baseball player as well, you can teleport to perfectly hit any ball at just the right angle. As a quarterback you would be insane too, you can readjust to any play instantly. In fencing you’d basically be unstoppable, you can dodge everything. For any sport or physical activity being able to teleport 7 inches is insanely overpowered. The person who came up with this doesn’t play any sports.

    Are these one time use? Like you gain the ability to talk to oysters forever? Grow a new nose as many times as you want? Or talk to oysters for 5 minutes and one extra nose?

    1. Become a water quality assessor with instant and accurate data on pollutants, if there are invasive species, whether or not there are pearls present, and any other information oysters can offer about the environment.

    2. Instant paving/gravel business with a huge profit margin compared to competitors.

    3. Depends on the locus of movement. If 7” only, like a quarter step in any direction, kinda useless*. If moving your entire body 7” away from it’s previous location, good for theft I guess if the barrier is less than 7” thick.

    *if you can “spam” the 7” movement rapidfire with no speed limit, you can travel as fast as you can wherever you want in a “stuttering” teleport.

    1. Useful to someone disfigured, lost one to skin cancer or other issue.

    2. Depends on what you limit a toaster to and what constitutes control. If you can control any facet of any device that heats the interior for purposes of heating the contents to a specific temperature, then this is really powerful. Engines “toast” fuel. Kilns “toast” everything from carbon fiber to ceramics to tempering glass. You now operate the only successful fusion reactor on the planet. The ability to control the specific heating of any material in an enclosed environment would have wide application.

    3. Spam it.

    4. Catching smugglers? If a container that should be empty isn’t, you can’t see in it.

    5. Get your name in the history books as an expert on the peoples and culture surrounding the language.

    6. If you were a paraplegic this would be life-changing.

    Free gravel! Fuck yeah!

    Living in the rural area and having pretty long private road i would be really happy for free gravel.

    Bonus points if i can desite how coarce it is. During winter the yard gets really icy and small gravel would make it better.

      Given that “Internet of Things” devices like smart toasters can be used as targets/jumping off points for cyberattacks, that one could turn you into a god who could hack with your brain (sort of).

    1. Sheer horror. You’ll never be able to eat these again.
    2. This has been brought up before. Gravel isn’t cheap. This is basically infinite money.
    3. If used continuously, you’re basically The Flash.
    4. Just a bad idea unless you can put it inside your existing nose for double the sniff-sensitivity.
    5. Okay, that’s just fun.
    6. Again, used continuously, this is the fountain of youth. You’ll still die of old age though.
    7. Only useful under very specific circumstances. Also, define a “container”.
    8. Unless the Khitan civilization knew things we don’t, this isn’t useful at all.
    9. Fast as he is now or when he was alive?
