E: Da Rules

  • The teleportation can only be used to move you.

  • Your clothes and basic personal items (the things you take with you everytime you leave the house) will teleport with you, but nothing else.

    Do I have to use it on myself, or even a living being? Any constraints on size, weight, accessories?

    Teleport to Vatican the moment a mass happen right in front of the pope. Then claim to be the second coming of Jesus Christ.

    If we teleport to a moving object, can we equalize speeds in relation to it instead of our current reference? If yes, ISS - good luck getting me outta there! If no, I’ll mumble “Shenzh/gen” and see if I end up in China or Luxembourg.

    Into the studio of some live tv programme, so it’s caught on camera by a neutral party. Without teleportation to get back, there are no really cool or useful places I want to go to in the next 24 hours. So I might as well try to make some cash out of interviews and stuff.

    Only one-way? Alright, well I’m gonna go walk Lairig Ghru, a hiking route that I like the look of that is too long for me to do there and back. I’ll walk out however far I want to go and then magically teleport back to the start

    Without a return trip I’d just use it to go to work and spare myself the commute. I’d sleep in that day.

    Can’t I get a return trip? It’s going to be annoying to get a train or plane to take me home.

    Maybe try wingsuit flying or free soloing, knowing that I basically have a get out of jail free card (assuming the teleport doesn’t preserve my momentum I guess)

      Even if it does preserve your momentum, with some really good trigonometry, you could teleport to a location that would result in that momentum landing you softly and exactly at the top of a cliff. If you can redirect the momentum, it can be any cliff. If you can’t, you’ll have to choose a cliff in another part of the world so that gravity burns off all your inertia at just the right time.

    I’d go to the basement of the guy’s mom from that other post about only storing 100GB and steal his 130PB SAN.

    I guess to work. It takes me 2 days of travelling to get to work and I have to be there. Assuming I can’t return via teleporting from the moon or whatever. Just save myself a days travel

    Into the core of the Sun. With the pressure and temperature I guess it will kill me before I can notice. A quick, painless, and rather unique way to die.
    Cause of death: “Crushed and burned by Sun’s core”

    What?

    So the ISS would probably be the coolest place I could go to but first I’d open up a GPS app on my phone and also set the camera recording so that it could potentially gather interesting data about the teleportation.

        Maybe, depends on how kinky they are. I mean, humans engage in master/pet relationships as a lifestyle and not just a bedroom kink.

        And no, I’m not convinced that +10,000yrs of extra development would automatically make them view a human as being like an animal. Would you really consider ancient Mesopotamians to be significantly less intelligent than modern humans?
