    1. You could probably make a career out of the scientific discoveries this would lead to
    2. basically infinite money but inconvenient
    3. Absolutely the best of the bunch, being able to skip through walls is great even if the exploit about speed teleport doesn’t work.
    4. 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.
    5. Is this infinite range, could have it set up to do anything mentally at a distance.
    6. absolutely useless, because it’s only look, not be, and you don’t look different in 10hours
    7. Could be good to know whether a container is empty.
    8. A career as a historian
    9. 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.

        I guess I interpreted that one as a one off usage (i guess i assumed the opposite for the teleport so thats not really fair), if its repeatable, it’s much more useful, but it still wouldn’t stop all the internal aging that will actually kill you.
