Rules:

*You can teleport into and out of it at will

*It has a couple of plug sockets and can connect to internet from the region you teleported in from

*You can take objects and people with you

*As already stated, it is (3m)^3 (3m*3m*3m). The walls are plain plaster with a light in the middle of the ceiling. The pocket dimension is topologically toroidal, so if there weren't walls and a ceiling/floor (which you can actually destroy) you would loop if you went more than 3m in any direction. Gravity, then, is artificial and can be altered to anywhere from 0 to 2g from a dial on the wall.

Edit: additional specifications

*You can only teleport out to where you teleported in from.

*Time proceeds at the same rate inside the pocket dimension

*There is an eject button for those inside to get out if something happens to you

Long trips on planes/trains/busses would be a lot more enjoyable.

Emergency supplies would be available at a moments notice including escape from the elements (camping/travel just became a breeze) .

Would you be able to free dive super deep taking each breath or a rest in the pocket dimmension?

The plane would keep moving while you left, so.. you would come back in to empty space.

Since the pocket dimension would be sea level pressure, dipping into it for a breath when you're deep is a sure way to get the bends, which would be a painful way to die. (Especially if nobody is there to help you.)

Guns and drugs. Mostly not at the same time.

it'd be a great place to grow some weed.

2g weight room. I would train some rabbits to pull weights. Then take my rabbit beasts out after 6 months and have them pull me around town in a sled.

You say this pocket dimension connects to the internet, a la Matrix? I'd create a game with an in-game currency that looks the same as ours, and give it the same physical properties in-game as the real currency is for the region I'm in. I then would define that I am a billionaire with a bank account to match. I teleport in, withdraw my money in cash one suitcase at a time from the ATM that has an infinite cash supply, and then teleport out.

No, it's not simulated. It's a real place that just connects to electromagnetic waves from outside to have internet access.

Sounds like that compact machines Minecraft mod

It sounds really boring but... Reading nook - just a little spot to relax and read. Kit out the floor with pillows, the walls with shelves, and paint the ceiling to look like the sky.

Getting to experience improved mental health thanks to having a private quiet place you can think and relax? What a weirdo... (That sounds amazing, I'll take two!)
