Again, used continuously, this is the fountain of youth. You’ll still die of old age though.
How would that work? "Age" isn't some inherent property of atoms.
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?

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.

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.

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?

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

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?
You're going to need a bobcat to find your front door.
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.

- 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.
Isn't easier tk jist sell gravel?

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.

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.Thats honestly a very good thing to point out as well!
Stairs, or hiking/walking on any kind of broken terrain... fucking snow, ice...
Yep, there's a whole ton of more situations where a blink ability could be very practically useful.

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.
So curious about any funny stories. Like tried to get on the other side of a wall but you're skinniest character is 7.5 inches at the chest so their scapula gets stuck in some thatched wall so now they look like some kind of hay Angel.

Nah, my character has Mirror's Reflection. So I can get through any window just by duplicating and then un-duplicating myself. I've skipped trays that way and opened doors for my group using it.
Worst thing that's happened is a triggered a monster that one-shot me. From my team's perspective I tried to duplicate through a window and instead just fell down unconscious. If I'd rolled better initiative I could've seen it and un-duplicated before it had a chance to do anything.

7 inch teleport sounds genuinely useful in a fight. Also, couldn't you just keep teleporting 7 inches? It might still be faster and easier than running.
On the other hand, infinite gravel...

Ah, the ancient proverb. "May thine abode be buried so significantly in granite that thy'll required services of a feline predator to findeth thou stoop."
To be fair, I think AESOP might have written a few stranger things.

Also, there's nothing saying you can't spam that shit and layer it. We probably need a rules lawyer or any of these could be exploitable.
