If anyone needs a transcript I'll write it.
Can I manifest the gravel or is it like I can just jedi mind trick the delivery driver?

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

3 or 6 are great choices if there is no cooldown period
Listen, teleporting is always so busted that even 7 inches is enough to teleport through doors, fences, or restraints.
Only if your skinny and tuck your feet to the side though, even not though you'll at least be able to jump higher.

I'm picking #7 to make my life slightly less insane, since I live with a muppet who leaves empty containers in the freezer.
Until you realize that the little speck of hummus in the corner of the container counts as "not empty".

- You could probably make a career out of the scientific discoveries this would lead to
- basically infinite money but inconvenient
- Absolutely the best of the bunch, being able to skip through walls is great even if the exploit about speed teleport doesn't work.
- Could your brain use two noses like two eyes and gain depth and direction sensing? if so that could be pretty cool, probably not worth the cost of having people want to study you for spontaneously growing an extra functional nose.
- Is this infinite range, could have it set up to do anything mentally at a distance.
- absolutely useless, because it's only look, not be, and you don't look different in 10hours
- Could be good to know whether a container is empty.
- A career as a historian
- Him in his prime? either way probably a downgrade for a lot of people, especially if it stops you getting better over time
But if you use #6 every 10 hours you'll stop aging altogether, so essentially it's an immortality drug. If it is just the looks that stay, it still means your skin cells aren't bogged down with broken and aged skin cells. You are now immune from skin cancer.
Just don't sleep in over 10 hours and you're good.

2: your gravel business will make you rich
3: what’s the cooldown? Because if there’s none I can now travel at super speeds
5: connect a sensor to your toaster so you can remote control any DIY electronics with your mind
7: instantly tell if any container is empty. Useful for magic tricks at the very least, but I’m sure there is some real application of it you could come up with
If I attach sensors of whatever kind to a bunch of toasters, I can use the sensor output to do whatver I want. So it goes from mind controlled toasters to mind contolled anything, really.
Suppose I can control the temperature on toasters. Attach heat sensors on four toasters and interpret the heat level as up/down/left/right. Pass that to a drone and I have a mind controlled drone :P

8...I'll write a book!
Who will read it?
Professors who study dead languages, I could live off being the world's foremost expert on the language for at least a decade or two.
Does 3 cost me any energy, or are there any other limitations on how quickly I can teleport?
Yeah it's a little annoying to only be able to go seven inches at a time, but if there's no limitations or cooldowns, you can move seven inches every ~250 milliseconds. That's pretty close to a mile and a half a minute. If it doesn't exhaust you, that's still a pretty efficient and speedy method of travel.
motion sickness.
Sure, but that depends on the person. You shouldn't get that much more motion sick than you would be traveling in a car at 80 mph.
You also aren't technically moving, which is an interesting thing to think about. You're standing still the whole time, and magically appearing seven inches ahead as fast as you can react. Your vestibular system shouldn't actually detect any movement at all, so maybe people sensitive to carsickness would still be okay.

7 is huge because "container" and "empty" are much less specific than you'd think
I was trying to come up with a way to use 3 to get through bank vault doors, but I like this. Any empty transparent box suddenly becomes a surveillance tool…
also you'd never lose that game where a coin is shuffled beneath 3 glasses

2 would be the most lucrative but 5 would be… interesting… for insurance purposes… lol
infinite gravel for lifeeeee 🤑🤑🤑
This certainly seems like the best out of these options. Start a gravel company. Infinite stock. If you can just create it out of nothing at the location of your choosing, you don't even have to pay for trucks, which I imagine is probably a greater cost in the gravel industry than the gravel itself.
