    I think you guys are underrating a few of these

    • 8 could be useful if you’re a spy and want to have your own private documents that noone can read
    • 1 you could leave oysters in places suited for eavesdropping, and maybe even coordinate billions of them to tackle down ships etc (?)
    • 5 It would be possible to all of the sudden communicate with all humanity in morse code by turning them on and off, you would hit headlines and maybe demand a crazy amount of money in cardano/bitcoin or else you’ll just blow up the toast industry. Plus, this morse code thing could lead to a cult where you might have fanatics at your advantage

    3 and 7, teleporting a short distance like that can be extremely useful to get past roors and fences. Identifying whether a container was empty or not reliably is good enough proof to clean out this list without being powerful enough that the majority of people would actually believe I have magic, plus I don’t have to reveal my teleporting ability.

    1. No stipulations on how frequently I can teleport 7". Like, can’t I just teleport 7" constantly and very quickly? Also, sounds like I could probably use this ability to fly.

    Is it just 1 pill for one-time use? I need this information to know if I can reuse some of these pill options.

    Options 2 and 3.

    Free gravel, assuming that means it just sort of appears where I want it in as much volume as i want, means I can simply create a massive stockpile of it in a very convenient location for construction projects and sell it by the yard for literally free money. Or sell it directly and conjure it up right where the foreman wants it.

    Teleporting 7 inches is enough to pass through most doors which are less than 2" thick. That is infinitely more useful than you think it is…

      Not just doors. Many walls are thinner than that. Any window or glass wall, even reinforced bulletproof ones, immediately become an entrance and exit. You could presumably walk into Fort Knox, grab a few bars of gold and walk back out. If you’re arrested, no jail could hold you.

      You could easily be the most famous magician alive, doing impossible escapes from sealed boxes, or disappearing by teleporting 7 inches into a hollow but completely sealed object.

      Doors may not be that thick, but you’re thicker than 7 inches even if you’re skinny. So you’d end up with part of your back inside the door.

        But then you haven’t travelled 7 inches. If you want to measure how far someone has travelled, you measure the distance from a body part in one position to the same body part in the second position. If you measure from the back of the foot in one position why would you measure to the front of the foot in the other position?

          Ammm, that proves that you’ll likely end up in the door. If you stand facing the door and measure 7 inches from the back of the foot towards the door, you likely won’t pass the door.

            Right. I seem to have confused myself.

            Also another point is that it says “up to” 7 inches. Who knows if that distance is a choice or random.

    Imagine being able to generate gravel over every single road crack and never fixed hole.

    Amazing.

    2 and 3 are the obvious choices, however id pick 3 and 5. Here are the only interesting pills available.

    (2) You can sell it

    (3) that’s enough to go through a wall

    (5) a smart toaster has a circuit board that you could mcgyver into sending commands outside of itself, allowing ur toaster to be an entry point to computer telepathy.

    (6) Would be funny to feed this one to a person who had just died and watch their color come back, really fuck with the autopsy

    (9) Instantly cures any physical ailments preventing you from running/walking (unless we mean current albert einstein, in which case corpses cant move.)

      No it’s not. You’re more than 7" thick. Even if you got right up against the wall, your nose pressed up against it, the back of your head is maybe 10" away. You teleport 7" and congratulations, you’re halfway through a wall.

    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.

    3 and 7

    I assume you can chain teleport and thus move pretty fast. Seeing that a container is empty can be useful I imagine.

    2 + 3

    2 because I’m sure free gravel will come in handy at some point, and 3 because I can now teleport to the other side of locked doors
