My mom lives three large states away and has Alzheimer's but is still able to recognize people. She's well cared for, but I'm sole caregiver for my bedbound family member. I'm reconciled to the fact I cannot travel to visit her, but if I could go for just half an hour, I would.

Teleporting home from work would be pretty useful.
I'd like to visit the center of the sun.
Round trip?
Does it teleport you where you think you want to go or do you need to account for the earth 's rotation and movement?
Going to a car wash.
That's a lot of limitations. I take my dog every time I leave the house! Maybe cheat and also take my passport :p
That said, probably somewhere like Aus or NZ...
It'd have to be extremely public, preferably during a live broadcast sporting event or something. To generate buzz and news. Hoping that's enough for them to let me stay and make some money :p
Or challenge someone to a race. Or an escape challenge make some money. The problem here I is getting it set up in time.

I'm going back to bed.
Through what mechanism am I being teleported?
Can I be teleported to the origin of it?
Hmmmm. Works only once... has a 24 hours deadline... only transports matter...
Look, I'll take it for $5. And I'm already taking lots of risk.
So many bedrooms to choose from... Gotta figure out how I can identify which ones have the horniest occupants.

"teleport" - How exactly? am I unassembled and reassembled? Or does my body just move there? At light speed? NO THANKS.
What does teleport mean to you? Exactly a me-sized number of atoms shifts places with me? So I won't burst into flames and leave an explosion where I was?
I end up teleported exactly where I intend to be? Without sight? Without knowledge of that location? In the exact space and time I disappear?
Nah nah nah nah absolutely fucking not. no
