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

Assuming that I can take it wherever, and when I’m in it, no one can see any trace of it…

I would find locations where valuable items would be in the near future. Go to that place, hop in my box, and wait for night fall. Then I would magically materialize in a strange masked bandit costume, rob them blind, and disappear. Then pop out a few days later in different clothes to make my casual exit.

Ideally, I’d go in and out inside a bathroom nearby so it’s less conspicuous.

First thing I'm gonna do is pop in there with a hammer and a crowbar and figure out how all this shit is wired up and what it's nailed to. Betcha there's a whole lot more space there than the realtor knew about.

I think I'd probably pack a bed, TV, microwave, and mini fridge into it and go travel and see a bunch of the world without worrying about lodging. I could also use it at work to eliminate my commute and save myself the high rent of living in Northern Virginia lol.

Three cubic meters, or a cube with three metre sides?

If I bring luggage or a person in with me, can I leave them there for a few hours? Would they have a way to get out if something happens to me? (Travel just got easier in my mind)

Edit: also, did you mean 3m x 3m x 3m, or 3m^3, which is 1m x 1m x 3m?

Can I only teleport back to where I teleported in from, or can I teleport out of the cube to anywhere I want?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Sorry, I should have specified. The former.

After spending a few minutes mulling it over, I've realized the only right move is for me to sell the cube to someone more clever than myself.
