Or 8" of gravel.
Better not have gotten that gravel for free else no teleport.

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.
That's sounds like a recipe to be Jimmy Hoffa'd

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.

- 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.

- breed oysters > profit
- sell gravel
- still prob useful if you chain teleport real fast?
- why
- must be a job somewhere for you
- can instantly tell if a container isnt empty, work in customs or something?
- doctorate in archeology
- albert einstein when? now? yikes, when he was young? depends on your relative age and physical form
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.

3 is overpowered, it's basically FTL if the reload time is low

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.

I was thinking it would be an excellent choice for my wheelchair bound coworker

- 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?

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...

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.

We all have free gravel.
And that is why we don't get any other ability.Oh yeah, you need to transport it yourself though.
You will find it on roadsides, clogged-up open drains, hilly areas, riverbeds etc. -
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.
Forget combat, how many times have you nearly missed slipping and falling while climbing stairs because of imperfect foot placement?
Well, for when you actually and up being in a bad enough position to slip, you get to save yourself, positioned perfectly for the next stride. -
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.

5 is awesome. My house will be full of toasters hooked up as switches for things.

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.

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.
