        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

          7 is actually useful? I don't understand the debate

          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.

                              1. Open franchise that sells toast bread. Burn all toasters in the world that are not used in your chain. Raise prices to ridiculous amounts. Build a big toaster rocket. Fly away.

                                What if you fed the 4rth pill to an oyster thus making it grow a second nose.

                                What is its first nose?

                                Bonus points if you have a friend that can talk to them in order to know how they feel about it.

                                    I'm playing a Pathfinder game where my character has something roughly resembling this ability, and so far it has allowed my party to essentially skip a few fights.

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

                                          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.

                                          I imagine this working in a monkey's paw kind of way. First, the local gravel suppliers just keep mis-delivering things to places where you happen to be. Then they start talking and figure out how to get rid of you so you stop costing them so much business. You survive, skip town, only to start again. You get incredibly wealthy from re-selling all this free gravel. Eventually, mountaintops start dissapearing due to all the illegal quarrying going on...
