How does the free gravel thing work? Can I just summon it in a location of my choice? Or is there a guy who delivers it to me?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 21 hours ago

It spawns in your gizzard

[–] MordercaSkurwysyn@lemm.ee 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Gravel ofc. Just imagine being able to provide every construction site on earth with cheap gravel with no cost at all. I'd be the first billionaire on earth who didn't fuck other people over to be absurdly rich.

[–] bawdy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 22 hours ago

Thought the same thing but it doesn't say how the gravel is obtained. I assume there's still going to be transportation costs and "life" could be as short as how long it takes to be smothered by a heap of free gravel. I am suspicious.

[–] Carl@lemm.ee 27 points 1 day ago (2 children)

3 for sure. Depending on how teleporting into other objects works, and how fast you can spam it, you could get some serious work done with a power like that.

[–] Delta_V@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

yeah, #3 is a time machine if you can spam it faster than light can travel 7 inches

[–] coriza@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

When you play Noita you discover that the way to move fast is to teleport shorter distance possible and spam it. It is also better for avoiding obstacles

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Number seven. And then piss off every "pea under shell" trickster, because you can see which shells are empty.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

I'll give you a hint, they're all empty.

[–] Blemgo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

But aren't the shells more covers than containers?

[–] Omgboom@lemmy.zip 3 points 23 hours ago

Wait did you just take all of them?

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can run as fast as Albert Einstein

Now, or when he was alive?

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 55 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Gravel is expensive if you're doing a lot of landscaping. I'll supply all of the entrepeneurs in the area and make a fortune.

[–] gatohaus@eviltoast.org 6 points 1 day ago

This.
Free gravel for life is OP! (probly gets nerfed in the next update)

[–] LemmyFeed@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

For real, free gravel for life is the choice. You can start a gravel business and sell that shit. According to Google a 100ft driveway can cost upwards of $3k to gravel.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The real question is, does free gravel mean you can spawn gravel? Or buy it for free? Both require a good amount of logistical planning to take advantage of to build a gravel empire

[–] Miphera@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you can spawn it, you technically have the solution to entropy, possibly also free energy.

[–] nonfuinoncuro@lemm.ee 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

what if you have to pass it piece by piece from your bladder

[–] superkret@feddit.org 3 points 23 hours ago

Let's hear what the oysters are up to...

A manga artist would find a way to make one of these the most op power in their entire universe. "I can fill anyones lungs with gravel with just a thought" or " i teleported 5 cms into you and severed a nerve in your spine that paralyzes you for life"

Free gravel. That's building material. You can always sell building material.

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 33 points 2 days ago (3 children)

But then you would never learn the secrets of the oysters.

I cannot tell you how many ways free gravel for life would help me, but it’s definitely a lot

3 or 7.

Doesn't mention any cooldown on the teleport so I could probably spam it which would make it useful.

7 sounds stupid but it could be actually useful in some situations.

Number three will get you through most all fences, walls, and locked doors. Become ungovernable.

[–] dnick@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Hopefully it's a7 inch gap, if it's 7 inches from center mass you're not really fully shifting position.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

And the minute you do it wrong you’ve fused with a fence or a steel door or something and are probably dead so it would require a ton of practice to know your limits

[–] wolo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Being able to teleport into a region already containing air without creating a nuclear blast requires that you can already either instantly displace the air in the target region (which would make a Very Loud Noise) or switch places with it, so there are possible interpretations of the power where teleporting into a fence would leave behind a detached section of fence or bend it out of your way

[–] dnick@sh.itjust.works 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I think I'm normal teleporting scenarios it doesn't allow you to teleport into 'objects', though obviously there has to be some exception for air or it's basically worthless. I don't think I've ever seen any scenario where you displace anything other than gas?

[–] wolo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 hours ago

You would still need to be able to displace suspended particles, bacteria, and small insects, otherwise you wouldn't be able to teleport outside of a clean room

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

True, so I guess in this case the possibility would be that you could get stuck in an object by displacing it, but by continuously displacing, theoretically you could get unstuck

[–] wolo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

You could pass through anything as long as you're willing to destroy it in the process

If you work in demolition you could take out a wall by continuously teleporting through it, if you wanted to do typical superhero stuff it would be good in a fight but nonlethal attacks aren't really an option

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

True, though this doesn’t cover whether you’d feel the effects of the teleportation, or I guess also how fast you could teleport. Teleporting through air is probably not crazy, but if only every atom of you teleports into solid steel or rock, you’ll basically be stuck for as long as your brain takes to process the next teleportation. If you don’t do it with a full breath you can’t breath in, your hairs might get stuck from tiny muscle movements, if your eyes are open, they are now just touching rock or steel, I think it would require some practice to know the right like “body preparation” to do without harming yourself.

Would need the details on some of these.

  • The empty container depends on the definition of "container" and "empty". If a house is a container for people it's easy to rob when empty. If you have to be looking at an airless vacuum it's dogshit. Otherwise I'm sure you could make money with a creative gambling scheme.
  • Gravel for life, like an infinite bucket full? Or the typical "for life" shit where you just get one trailer full dumped in your driveway every year for 60 years. Probably an overrated pick.
  • Teleporting is almost certainly the best pick. Is there a cool down? Do you keep momentum? Can it be in any direction? Does it take the same effort as walking? If you can spam it at the speed thought, you're now flying. Even with a CD you could be a world class athlete in a lot of sports. Or just do simple stuff like reach a high shelf or teleport out of handcuffs.
[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Teleporting out of you handcuffs also implies you'd lose your clothes every time you teleport.

[–] brotundspiele@feddit.org 21 points 1 day ago

Usually bodies are more than 7 inches wide, so you wouldn't end up naked, but with a t-shirt somewhere inside your body. So if it works like that, I'd advise you not to choose that pill. That is, unless you're an oyster.

[–] Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 day ago

Can I use .3 as some sort of short-range contiguous Alcubierre drive, by using it repeatedly very fast?

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Being able to see inside empty containers has its uses because you can always check if you can see into it and know something’s in it. Knowing IF something has contents can be plenty useful.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I feel as though there is money making opportunity in 8. The language is dead? Nobody alive who can speak the language, so I'd have more or less free reign to profit off of being the only person who could speak it.

[–] dirtbiker509@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sure but selling gravel has instant world wide business opportunities. Gravel is the better money making option.
