  • Resell my free gravel for huge profits

  • Have a great street magic trick where I ask the spectator to empty a single container out of many with my back turned, but I can always pick out which one

I'll be Cris Angel, Gravel King

[-] BlemboTheThird@lemmy.ca 24 points 10 months ago

Redmond and blutarch are gonna be SEETHING when I collapse the gravel industry

[-] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 79 points 10 months ago

2 and 3 easy.

Free gravel for life. So I have an endless supply of product I can sell for profit? Yes please.

And I see no time-limit on the teleportation. 7 inches at a time. Sure. But what stops me from instantly teleporting another 7 inches? And who says I can only do it horizontally. Pretty much giving me the ability to fly here. I'll take it.

[-] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 69 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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....

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

As long as you maintain a personal diameter of <5 inches. If not, some door will trim it for you.

3 and 7 💯. I'm breaking into all the places.

[-] Infynis@midwest.social 10 points 10 months ago

Exactly. One power lets you see if it's safe, and the second one teleports you into the space you know to be empty.

Well if I can only pick #2 I guess I'm gonna get free gravel.

[-] janAkali@lemmy.one 28 points 10 months ago

Free gravel it is 😒. Why would someone make a quiz with no choice ?!

[-] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 6 points 10 months ago

Sell free gravel you got Gravel to construction companies by the ton.

[-] Crap_your_hands@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 10 months ago

Definetly 2. You can make millions with that shit.

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 24 points 10 months ago

Does the gravel have to be delivered or does it appear out of thin air?

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

It comes out of your nose

[-] Nepenthe@kbin.social 22 points 10 months ago

8 and 9.

I figure I can either make bank lending the anthropologists/archeologists a hand with an extinct language, or at least have a bunch of fun bringing it back to life as a personal hobby.

And really? No one's picking nine? Have any of you seen Albert Einstein's calves? He biked regularly. If it turns out I can outrun him now, that won't always be the case as my sedentary ass ages.

No matter how crap my skeleton becomes, I'm giving myself an automatic default level of movement that isn't all that shabby

[-] WigglyTortoise@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 10 months ago

Albert Einstein is dead. You couldn't run at all.

2 and 7, obviously. Good luck anyone carrying an empty box within my vicinity.

[-] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)
  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.
[-] Taringano@lemm.ee 19 points 10 months ago

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

Amazing.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 months ago

You can't generate it man. You fill out a form and put a postage stamp on it and then they give you a shipping date and you still have to pay for delivery, the gravel itself is of course gratis though.

[-] megopie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 10 months ago

Gravel is a very important construction aggregate.

Although it depends of the mechanics of how useful 2 would be. Does the gravel just like spear near you? Is there just a guy who gives you bags of gravel? Do you have to go to a specific location to get it? Is there a limit to the through put? What’s the volume of out out of the gravel. what type of gravel is it? Could it be processed for other minerals?

Like, free gravel sounds pretty damn awesome based on the mechanics.

3 and 7. With 3 you can essentially walk through walls, and with 7 you will know exactly which boxes you don't need to check when looking for something.

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 12 points 10 months ago

You im gonna do some jojo shit with number 2 and 3. You can drown anyone with gravel or silently kill them by making it appear in their body(lungs, veins, etc). You can also use it as an armor. And with teleportation you can do a lot of small teleportations fast to badically travel with sny speed. And depending on how teleportation is defined you can do op stuff with it.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 11 points 10 months ago

I pick 5 to make infinite money.

Step 1 - Buy some used toasters

Step 2 - Rebrand and sell those toasters

Step 3 - Make every toaster that isn't mine fail catastrophically

Step 4 - PROFIT!

[-] Hedup@lemm.ee 10 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

Cheat at the cup and pebble game.

[-] ThatFembyWho@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 10 months ago

speaking an extinct language would actually be realy cool and I could teach it to others.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Easy. 1 and 5.

1 - "Hey friends. Who's had an itchy grain of sand stuck inside? If you open wide I can take it out and put you back.". Profit.

5 - Insurance fraud by burning down vacant homes through "faulty wiring" then suing the manufacturer.

[-] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 8 points 10 months ago

Khitan and gravel, khitan would be a boon for linguists and i could help them document it until other people can learn to speak with me, and free gravel could be used to pillar up to places if done fast enough and could potentially clog things

I at least like the toaster if we assume instantaneous faster than light control. If I can sit and watch a feed of stocks and toggle a buy/sell toaster hooked up to the stock market 250 ms away, I can pretty easily beat the market and make money.

Similarly you could use the empty container rule to have someone communicate with you by toggling the empty state of a container. If you sense/not sense the container you have a reliable binary communication channel and Morse code is pretty viable too. But it's probably best for a predetermined action because you're racing the latency of light here and we're not multiplanetary yet so you've only got hundreds of milliseconds margin to work with. Unless you contract with NASA or anyone yeeting things into space. Build an instrument that can Morse code via empting/filling a container and suddenly voyager can send us instant communication. Combine it with a set of control toasters and that's pretty valuable too.

Teleportation: is there a cool down? Because most places can be teleported to in increments of 7 inches if I can chain them.

[-] wabafee@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I would probably would go with 1 and 4. I read an article awhile ago they were used to detect quality of water. I would have the ability to further interpretate what is wrong with the water by talking to the oysters. Might make money along the way and save people/ environment at the same time. As for 6 well is for obvious reason.

[-] ultorpha@lemmy.nz 4 points 10 months ago

But if you look 10 hours younger, does this mean that in the daytime you look like you did when you were asleep the previous night?

[-] wabafee@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago

Lol my mistake I read that as 10 years younger. Well no going back now.

[-] curiousaur@reddthat.com 7 points 10 months ago

Knowing containers are empty can be valuable.

[-] PresidentCamacho@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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.)

  1. Make bank by selling all that gravel.
  2. I'm breaking into all sorts of places.
[-] dope@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

By repeatedly teleporting 7 inches you can fly.

[-] registrert@lemmy.sambands.net 4 points 10 months ago

You're flying around while I'm stuck on a pile of gravel, talking to clams and you're laughing?!

[-] davemeech@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago

Either 2 and 3 or 3 and 7.

Free gravel is fantastic, a ton of practical things to be done with it and is otherwise expensive.

Teleporting 7 inches away is enough to get you past many barriers and walls, that's not insignificant. This seems the coolest to me.

Being able to determine if a container is empty or not seems pretty cool as well although I can't think of a good example of how this would be useful.

The rest are hilarious.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

7 is a power your character has in Fallout 4 and Starfield.

I would take 1 and 8. 1 because it'd be cool to talk to animals (even if it's just oysters) and 8 because maybe some oysters still speak Khitan.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 10 months ago

1 and 7. Knowing if things are empty might be marginally useful. Communicating with oysters seems fascinating. Oysters are similar to coral in that they are an important part of forming habits for fish. Being able to ask them what's troubling them could be useful for conservation efforts.

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

3 and 7, without question.

[-] Speiser0@feddit.de 5 points 10 months ago

3 and 5.

5 because it would even work on toasters that can do more than just toast, i.e. a toaster plus computer.

3 because the other pills don't sound useful. And it doesn't say how often I can use this teleportation. So I assume through repeated teleportation I'd be super fast. If it doesn't also teleport my cloths, I'd probably not use it too often though, apart from changing cloths (the 17.78 cm should be barely enough). It would also be interesting to fly using repeated teleportation. Though if my speed is not also reset through teleportation, I'd still fall, and landing would be dangerous. And if cloths and similar are not teleported with me, I also couldn't take a parachute or wings with me.

If #8 also included being able to write the language as well, I'd definitely pick that. I could become famous and influential in linguistic circles and probably make good money off of it for a short while. Then I could use that money to fund a few projects I've wanted to do for a while, like making a modern Vib-Ribbon for PC.

As for the other pill, probably just #3 since none of the others really appeal to me in any way.

[-] LEONHART@slrpnk.net 4 points 10 months ago

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

[-] adam@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 10 months ago

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

[-] TheWanderer@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

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.
