Most things people consider "empty" are still full of atmospheric gases, dust, etc.
You could see inside of a sterile container inside of a vacuum chamber.
That container still has space inside of it.

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

3 is overpowered, it's basically FTL if the reload time is low
The reload time is zero, but teleporting N meters away takes N seconds. Oh, and it looks like the transporter effect from Star Trek where you fade out and get all sparkly.

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.
Not to mention the transport cost, and the usefulness of gravel as fill material on major building and infrastructure projects.

If there are no limits of scale or delivery, i think it's OP.
cut me off? I'm gonna follow you at a disance and summon 50 tons of gravel around your car.
File an HOA complaint on me? You're going to need a bobcat to find your front door.
Can i summon it anywhere without going there? You know how hard it is to get rid of gravel?

How would that work? "Age" isn't some inherent property of atoms.

I think they're just going so cold, water please, drowning....kill me.....

If I were to lose my ability to walk, would I choose:
- ability to maybe walk, maybe like an old man, maybe not
- ability to teleport along with my stuff, 7" per thought
On the other hand, maybe I can only teleport once, for when I take the pill. That might end up being pretty useless for this case.
one time use would certainly devalue the ones that don't seem inherently permanent. also too bad michael jackson died before the grow a second nose pill was thought up...
-
If there's no cooldown and no cost on teleport, maximum distance doesn't really make a difference
My thoughts exactly. Flying unlocked

You guys are sleeping on 1.
The secrets of the oysters could be yours.
You want my treasure? You can have it! I left everything I gathered together in one place! Now you just have to find it!

The text just says look 10 hours younger. To me, that means un-doing all the apparent signs of aging: superficial stuff. Less wrinkles, fewer sunspots/freckles, hair is back where it used to be, no more cataracts, etc. Meanwhile, your internal organs, bones, and muscles keep going with the usual aging process.
-
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?

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Spam it.

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

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?

Fair point.

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.

3 is overpowered, it's basically FTL if the reload time is low
I was going to say, 3 is my choice. Subtly powerful and useful. Just have to be creative, even if it isn't actually that much faster

I forgot that was a brand of front loaders for a second, and my brain went on a whole trip trying to figure why you'd need a bobcat.

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.

How is seeing inside of an empty container useful? There's nothing in it
Could maybe win some money gambling on cup shuffle?

The gravel one is gonna have some stupid loophole, like it's one pebble a day, but infinite and free.
