    That’s not very thin walls though. Average walls are 4.5”. Walls with things like plumbing are usually only 6.5”. Teleporting 7 inches would be hella useful.

    With your back up against the wall, you'd still only make it about half-way through. Depending on the mechanism, you'd either have your front half stuck, merged or exploded.

          Personally, that was the first I ever heard of him. Given my age and his complete irrelevance to anything I cared about (basically just computers and cartoons) at the time, I had no reason to.

          Honestly I still don't know much about him, mostly because I don't care. But everyone loves an epic fail story.

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

              Even with a cooldown or something like that, a real world 'blink' ability, even of just 7 inches, would be utterly devastating in hand to hand combat, as well as potentially in ranged/armed combat as well.

              Just imagine scenes from John Wick but also, every 30 minutes, he can just 'blink' up to 7 inches to dodge or connect a punch, kick, grab, close range shot, move just a bit further into cover, closer to a magazine needed to reload, etc.

              Granted, you would also have to be very careful to not uh, Philadelphia Experiment / phase shift into a fucking wall or some other person or something.

              A 7 inch 'blink' takes Keanu Reeves a step from John Wick... toward Neo, this would be completely 'broken' in the hands of a skilled and trained fighter, even if they can only use it once a day, as a kind of 'ultimate' or w/e.

              Like uh, try hand to hand fighting someone in Cyberpunk 77, with yourself set up as close to a plain jane human as possible... up against a melee fighter with sandevistan.

                      Okay. Your power instantly doesn't work as every case contains a placard saying what the dollar amount is and is therefore not an empty container

                        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.

                          What if you can only teleport with a pill? What happens when you ingest a whole handful? Are you teleposing in different directions simultaneously?

                          Yes but they all cancel each other out leaving you unmoving.

                            3 or 6 if there’s no cooldown. People talk about not being able to get through walls when over open ground you can hit potentially limitless speed without gaining inertia and going splat if something pulls out in front of you. Same with deaging, so long as the cooldown isn’t longer than 10 hours, you’re Benjamin-Buttoning it.

                              so i can say inside your skull? Ayooo

                              but seriously it's the teleport assuming there's no or negligible cast time. the only thing you can't do is tp through a thick obstacle but you can repeatedly use it through continuous routes to travel long distances in very fast.

                              if not then toaster control ain't that bad either.

                                Not sure what this is in reference to, honestly. I may have heard his name when the safe happened, but I never actually watched the clip of it's something to do with that. I just heard mentions of it later.

                                  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?

                                  1. 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.

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

                                  3. 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.

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

                                  2. 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.

                                  3. Spam it.

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

                                  5. Get your name in the history books as an expert on the peoples and culture surrounding the language.

                                  6. If you were a paraplegic this would be life-changing.

                                      Considering how my driveway gets completely washed away any time it rains, I'm going with #2 no questions asked.

                                      Don't even have to read the rest of them, gravel is expensive!

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

                                          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.
