    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.

      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.

          In a world where some people can control toasters with their mind, free gravel disappears as soon as you put a price tag on it. I’m sorry if you don’t like that, but I don’t make the rules.

            Really? Because that rule wasn’t in the original question and you just made it up.

              The original question also doesn’t state that gravity attracts everything but oysters or that Albert Einstein has two runny noses. But that’s how it is. These are just the basic rules of the fantasy pill world. Everybody knows that (at least I thought so).

          In order to do that I’d have to take 💊 № 1 though, so I’d be able to communicate with people who are sℏellfish.

    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.

    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.

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

          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.

    Speaking a dead language would be cool. Maybe teach it to others and read into the history, etymology and people of it. Talk to historians and what not.

    If I grow a second nose, will it also be stuffed up? If so, I choose teleportation. I know it’s only 7 inches but that’s enough to get around most doors so it’s still useful.

      Only if you are thinner than 7" minus the thickness of the door. Otherwise, you would teleport right into the door, which (I assume) might be quite painful.

          You can just teleport 7 inches backwards after lunch. As the contents of your stomach isn’t you, it will stay inert and fall to the floor. You can eat all you want if you don’t have to digest it.

          Just remember to stand up beforehand or you’ll end up intermingled with your chair having chewed up cheeseburger all over your lap.

    I think 3 is the most useful. You can use it to reach things just out of your height range and maybe as a party trick. I’m sure there are other uses for it too, given enough time I could probably think of some other uses too.

      There’s no mention of a cool down. You can repeat it as soon as you’ve fully materialised at the first 7–inch destination. Assuming teleportation is immediate, and there’s no refractory period, the distance limit is effectively meaningless.
