    Options 2 and 3.

    Free gravel, assuming that means it just sort of appears where I want it in as much volume as i want, means I can simply create a massive stockpile of it in a very convenient location for construction projects and sell it by the yard for literally free money. Or sell it directly and conjure it up right where the foreman wants it.

    Teleporting 7 inches is enough to pass through most doors which are less than 2" thick. That is infinitely more useful than you think it is…

    2 and 3 easy.

    Free gravel for life. So I have an endless supply of product I can sell for profit? Yes please.

    And I see no time-limit on the teleportation. 7 inches at a time. Sure. But what stops me from instantly teleporting another 7 inches? And who says I can only do it horizontally. Pretty much giving me the ability to fly here. I’ll take it.

    3 and 7

    I assume you can chain teleport and thus move pretty fast. Seeing that a container is empty can be useful I imagine.

    Gravel is a very important construction aggregate.

    Although it depends of the mechanics of how useful 2 would be. Does the gravel just like spear near you? Is there just a guy who gives you bags of gravel? Do you have to go to a specific location to get it? Is there a limit to the through put? What’s the volume of out out of the gravel. what type of gravel is it? Could it be processed for other minerals?

    Like, free gravel sounds pretty damn awesome based on the mechanics.

      After taking the pill, a pile of gravel the exact size and weight to be just enough to kill you lands on you immediately.

    3 and 5.

    5 because it would even work on toasters that can do more than just toast, i.e. a toaster plus computer.

    3 because the other pills don’t sound useful. And it doesn’t say how often I can use this teleportation. So I assume through repeated teleportation I’d be super fast. If it doesn’t also teleport my cloths, I’d probably not use it too often though, apart from changing cloths (the 17.78 cm should be barely enough). It would also be interesting to fly using repeated teleportation. Though if my speed is not also reset through teleportation, I’d still fall, and landing would be dangerous. And if cloths and similar are not teleported with me, I also couldn’t take a parachute or wings with me.

      3 and 5 are the best, if you ever find yourself held captive. 7 inches can get you out of a cell, also cuffs if your clothes don’t teleport too. You can manipulate the toaster as a distraction or to start a fire.

      100% my choice.

      I hereby call bullshit on your reasoning for number five. The pill gods will give you control of traditional toasters only. In the event of toasters attached to other things you may only control the toasting elements. We preemptively declare CPUs are not toasting elements.

    Depending on how fast the teleport is, whether there’s a delay between uses and whether it causes significant fatigue or other side effects, I might take that. Other than that, it’s a toss-up for me between the extinct language and communicating with oysters.
