    I want to say free gravel, but I need to know how its manifested. In a big pile where I want it? Or like never ending handfuls of pocket gravel?

      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?

      Yeah, you could hook up a sensor to detect the toaster coming on and basically control electronics with your mind.

        There was nothing that said you can't teleport up. Meaning you can go up and over. Almost no effort way of getting our of traffic or cleaning the gutters, fixing things up high. Or ya know essentially low flight. This is all assuming there is no cool down and its like walking.

          Toaster control for sure. After selling my robot toasters as a cheap way to communicate with satellites, I'll command an army of them all over the solar system.

            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?

            I'm thinking that #7 might be useful in certain policing or security positions, depending on the definition of empty (there's always dust and air).

            Got a bunch of containers that need to be inspected? You can cross the ones you can see through off the list.

            Also useful for winning the cup-and-ball game

              I'm 10 hours younger (5 seconds later) , I'm 19 hours 59 minutes and 55 seconds younger, rinse and repeat until you reach your desired age. Immortality?

              But you're not actually losing age in this one, just looking 10 hours younger so it wouldn't really stack.

                  Could be useful, but it says nowhere that your clothes will teleport with you.

                      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

                          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.

                            Free gravel sounds great, but nowhere is the amount specified, if you get a handful of gravel every day for life that's not helpful.

                            Teleport 7 inches sounds good, if the effect of the pill isn't a one time thing. Do you only teleport 7 inches when digesting the pill? Do you keep teleporting? Can you stop teleporting? 😉

                              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...

                              This is much easier to do the monkey paw routine by saying "you get one free piece of gravel per 100 years.:

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

                                Free gravel appears instantaneously at will, but only in the very center of Ohio

                                  It does if trying to go through an 8” thick wall.

                                    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.

                                          1. It still allows you to determine whether containers are empty, which is situationally useful.
