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.

    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.

    My mom lives three large states away and has Alzheimer’s but is still able to recognize people. She’s well cared for, but I’m sole caregiver for my bedbound family member. I’m reconciled to the fact I cannot travel to visit her, but if I could go for just half an hour, I would.

    Edit: oh, one way only? Nvm.

    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

    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

    If it allowed me to teleport between dimensions as well, definitely moving to that one parallel Earth where everything is peaceful, prices are cheap, and everything is seemingly perfect (except for the lottery system where a small group of people die if they win in a population control sort of scheme). Don’t take a lot of money and your odds of being picked are low.

    Though, if it only worked for this world, probably just use it once to get to the kitchen faster at a random time because I can’t use it to get to college because of my class schedule. That, and I’m pretty sure my parents would find it suspicious if I suddenly teleported to a store and called either needing a ride or they cannot find me, especially if I don’t give them a heads up.

    I’d look up and memorize winning lottery numbers, then teleport back two weeks ago. (4-d space!) And then I’d just buy a lotto ticket and chill until my past self becomes my current self, but with lottery money.

    What’s the nearest planet with an Earth-like atmosphere? Any particular star clusters that have a higher likelihood of harboring a civilization? If I can go anywhere, I’m taking a gamble and trying to find aliens. Even if I fail to find intelligent life, I’m already at a point where struggling to survive on an alien planet sounds better.

    That’s a lot of limitations. I take my dog every time I leave the house! Maybe cheat and also take my passport :p

    That said, probably somewhere like Aus or NZ…

    It’d have to be extremely public, preferably during a live broadcast sporting event or something. To generate buzz and news. Hoping that’s enough for them to let me stay and make some money :p

    Or challenge someone to a race. Or an escape challenge make some money. The problem here I is getting it set up in time.

      You can take your passport, but it’s going to interesting when you try to leave the county with no record of entering. Getting back into your home county will be fun too.
