Putting a toaster inside a robot so I can control it with my mind and have an army of these

[–] TheGuyTM3@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 days ago

3 and 5 can be overpowered if the superpower has no cooldown or limit

2, 7, 8 can assure you big wealth in some jobs

1, 4, 6 doesn't appear to be very useful, and having a second nose could be quite inconvenient on the forehead, in the armpit or above the arse, while being very parasocial

9: While i think running at the speed of albert einstein relative to the earth would be kind of meh, i would reconsider if it is Albert's running speed relative to the moon

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

This free gravel, can I summon it whenever and wherever I want, or do I have to wait for it to be delivered? If it’s the latter, I will take Khitan. Resurrecting a dead language sounds fun.

[–] _AutumnMoon_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Albert Einstein can probably run faster than me honestly so I'm going with that

He just wants you to think that

[–] brap@lemmy.world 160 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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.

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 1 points 6 days ago

The bonus is just how I kill people in minecraft.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 46 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

Just says that the gravel is free, not that you can generate it or make it appear. You've got a lifetime supply of gravel from suppliers but you still gotta move it around

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 73 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Still a free product. Normally gravel traders have to purchase the gravel, move it and sell it. Now you just have to move and sell it. Massive profits. Transport fees are for the customer too, so basically free as well.

[–] cattywampas@midwest.social 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And you'd be able to undercut any competition and corner the market.

Built a greenhouse with a gravel foundation this summer. Doesn't matter if I have to move it. Free gravel is useful.

Free gravel is so busted compared to the rest. Gravel's one of those things that you don't need often, but someone in any town on any given day will need some.

You could undercut every single other gravel business. Even if the competition lowers their prices dramatically, they can't go lower than their costs. Meanwhile, you have absolutely no costs on material. Gravel monopoly.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

Bet I could retire in a year, two at the outside. Have customers pick up at deep discount until I could get a pair of heavy trucks and drivers, pure gravy from there on out.

If there's no cooldown and no cost on teleport, maximum distance doesn't really make a difference

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 40 points 1 week ago (4 children)

It does if trying to go through an 8” thick wall.

Seeing inside empty containers is way more useful than it seems.

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 week ago (6 children)

My thought exactly. You know immediately if it's empty

Is the 7 inches absolute, or distance apart? As in, could I teleport past a 7 inch thick wall, or just 7 inches from my current position? If I could get through the wall, that miiight be more abusable. Otherwise totally the gravel. Even if it doesn't magically appear, gravel is useful for all sorts of stuff. Especially if you get to pick what type/grading/etc each load is like with purchased gravel. That'd be really useful.

[–] recently_Coco@lemmy.blahaj.zone 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I could do so much with free gravel, you have no idea.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

If you have even the most-basic business sense, this instantly turns you into an uber-wealthy gravel tycoon.

[–] untakenusername@sh.itjust.works 35 points 1 week ago (6 children)

3 is overpowered, it's basically FTL if the reload time is low

ANY toaster. If you go to a wedding or any formal event with drinks, you can control whoever's giving the toast. That could be pretty powerful.

[–] Neverclear@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago

Also, anything that generates enough heat in the presence of bread is, in fact, a toaster.

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.

7 inch teleport sounds genuinely useful in a fight. Also, couldn't you just keep teleporting 7 inches? It might still be faster and easier than running.

On the other hand, infinite gravel...

Okay, I'll bite this time.

  1. Don't see any use.
  2. Sell gravel. Become rich.
  3. If no cooldown you can spam and teleport anywhere as long as there's a path between A and B
  4. Not sure.
  5. Turning on every toaster in the world at the same time would probably cripple the various power grids globally.
  6. If it stacks you could look quite young.
  7. Could probably make some money checking if safes are empty or not. Doesn't say anything about distance. Could remotely check containers for people. Depends as well on the definition of empty.
  8. Would be hugely beneficial to some archeologists.
  9. For anyone who is unable to walk currently this would be good. What happens if you cut your legs off? Can you fly afterwards?
[–] No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)
  1. Don't see any use.

  1. ~~Not sure~~ Might be useful, but who nose.

FTFY

  1. ...Depends as well on the definition of empty.

"Yep, another container that does not contain a perfect vacuum. Should have taken the free gravel pill..."

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.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 1 week ago

Free gravel, then sell it. Just make sure to not summon too much gravel so the price doesn't go down.

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

I want to say free gravel, but I need to know how its manifested. In a big pile where I want it? Or like never ending handfuls of pocket gravel?

  1. It still allows you to determine whether containers are empty, which is situationally useful.

3 would get you through almost any door. Definitely my choice.

7 though, this would make you a star in the DEA. Imagine seeing inside everyone's tires, and then you find one you can't see inside. "Whatcha got in those tires, son?" I'm sure there could be other uses.

2, you could run a business on free gravel but you're mostly paying for processing and delivery so you would only have a small edge on your competition. It's still a lot of work and big heavy expensive trucks.

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 days ago

Depends on what is meant by "free gravel", though. Given the effects of the other pills, it gives me the impression I can just summon gravel on command. In which case, I'd only have to pay for my own transportation.

[–] WelcomeBear@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

I thought the same thing about 3 until I realized that I’m more than 7 inches tall/wide/deep, so I can’t actually pass through anything, just get horribly mangled when I make it halfway through the door.

Now here’s the million dollar question: how many times per second can I teleport? Because if I can teleport at let’s say 1khz… now we’re talking

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

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.

[–] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

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.

I would be the Gravel King. You need gravel, you come to me. I would be a benevolent king though. I would grant gravel to those that need it.

Can run as fast as albert einstein, but don't actually take the pill. Use it only when you or a loved one is immobilized by old age or injury. Nothing to lose, even if its a bogus '0mph, he's dead' pill.

I feel like everyone is underestimating 5. It's any toaster. Make a killer robot that happens to have the ability to make toast and you've got a remote control death bot.

I'd make a whole set of devices that happen to also be toasters. Why not add some heating elements and springs to an elevator, a car, a plane?
