You have one (1) free teleportation that must be used within the next 24 hours or it disappears forever. Do you use it? Where do you go?

The International Space Station. The sheer confusion value would be amazing, particularly if I stayed quiet about how it happened ("I went to bed, then woke up floating here. I've no clue how it happened").

I would get to cause a major incident of complete chaos, with little to no harm. I would get to experience space and weightlessness. I would also get a near guaranteed lift home (eventually). There's also almost no way it could be kept quiet, so I get to be a minor celebrity for a while.

I send Elon Musk to Mars.

Whatever the biggest televised event is in the next twenty four hours. I'm going to materialize naked live in air screaming "the end is nigh unless we repent" and then go into a list of ecological and social reforms.

Teleport myself into Putin to do the world a favour

to an alternate universe where magic is real and big titty anime girls want to form a party with me.

Into the studio of some live tv programme, so it's caught on camera by a neutral party. Without teleportation to get back, there are no really cool or useful places I want to go to in the next 24 hours. So I might as well try to make some cash out of interviews and stuff.

Right next to Vladimir Putin. Only wish I carried a gun or knife or something but we're about to find out if an obese middle aged man can strangle to death an elderly Russian. Actually, let's make it interesting, drop me maybe 10-15 ft above his head.

I know there are probably better things or at least less suicidal things i could do but it's a chance to give my life meaning and the best I could think of.

To a place where there are plenty of crumbs.

I'd assume a cannonball shape and teleport myself into the body of any living murderous dictator (you can pick). I assume the sudden materialization of a 6' tall, 200 lb human inside another human's viscera would be a bit like swallowing a bomb. Even if it's more a case of chimeric horror, the result is the same so I'm OK with it.

1. Put on gorilla suit
2. Teleport to the ISS for the second time

I'd teleport to a parallel universe that has become an utopia full of futuristic medical solutions.

What's the nearest planet with an Earth-like atmosphere? Any particular star clusters that have a higher likelihood of harboring a civilization? If I can go anywhere, I'm taking a gamble and trying to find aliens. Even if I fail to find intelligent life, I'm already at a point where struggling to survive on an alien planet sounds better.

If there's no return option then I probably wouldn't use it. Maybe just to get to the shops or something and then walk back.

The US house of representatives, just to say "I bring a dire warning from the future"

My mom lives three large states away and has Alzheimer's but is still able to recognize people. She's well cared for, but I'm sole caregiver for my bedbound family member. I'm reconciled to the fact I cannot travel to visit her, but if I could go for just half an hour, even just one hug, I would.

Edit: Oh, one way only? Nvm.

Into the core of the Sun. With the pressure and temperature I guess it will kill me before I can notice. A quick, painless, and rather unique way to die.
Cause of death: "Crushed and burned by Sun's core"

What?

Without a return trip, that's pretty useless.

I should probably use it to telefrag one of the active, living war criminals or one of their influential lackeys, but it's kind of hard to choose.

Go to work like normal, open the register, empty it (money is a person item) and vanish forever to rural Japan.
Make sure I teleport to where non one sees it.

Alternatively: teleport to new Zealand, yall know exactly why.

"Mars!"

Freezes and suffocates

One way or round trip? That makes a big difference...

Cuba, for medical and/or dental care I can't afford in the US

I teleport to friends house, to show her, that world isn't like we used to think.

So the ISS would probably be the coolest place I could go to but first I'd open up a GPS app on my phone and also set the camera recording so that it could potentially gather interesting data about the teleportation.

I'd go to the basement of the guy's mom from that other post about only storing 100GB and steal his 130PB SAN.

I'd look up and memorize winning lottery numbers, then teleport back two weeks ago. (4-d space!) And then I'd just buy a lotto ticket and chill until my past self becomes my current self, but with lottery money.

Home from DnD tomorrow because I don't have a car and it's COLD OUT

telefrag.

I’ll walk into a park full of stoners, grab their attention and teleport home.

If it allowed me to teleport between dimensions as well, definitely moving to that one parallel Earth where everything is peaceful, prices are cheap, and everything is seemingly perfect (except for the lottery system where a small group of people die if they win in a population control sort of scheme). Don't take a lot of money and your odds of being picked are low.

Though, if it only worked for this world, probably just use it once to get to the kitchen faster at a random time because I can't use it to get to college because of my class schedule. That, and I'm pretty sure my parents would find it suspicious if I suddenly teleported to a store and called either needing a ride or they cannot find me, especially if I don't give them a heads up.

Is the rover on Mars still taking pics? Cause I'd teleport there. Just to make everyone wonder how I got there.

To the fridge. For a beer.

Maybe try wingsuit flying or free soloing, knowing that I basically have a get out of jail free card (assuming the teleport doesn't preserve my momentum I guess)

If we teleport to a moving object, can we equalize speeds in relation to it instead of our current reference? If yes, ISS - good luck getting me outta there! If no, I'll mumble "Shenzh/gen" and see if I end up in China or Luxembourg.

The closest Galactic Senate.

If one doesn't exist then teleport me to where one used to be. Let me see intelligent life. Or at least the remnants of one for a few seconds before I die.

The Eye of the Universe :;)

Do I have to use it on myself, or even a living being? Any constraints on size, weight, accessories?

do i keep my momentum after i have teleported?

Are you sure I can't save it in case I need to get out of the Backrooms some day?

Teleport to my road trip destination. My wife can handle the last two hours herself. I'm too risk adverse to carry out a heist or something and that would really mess up our vacation. I'll just go ahead and get the hotel room ready and take a shower.

Is this a one-way trip?

Can the teleporter interpret intent, and will it take anything I'm currently carrying (like a backpack)? If so, then I'd probably take some time to figure out where I'd like to go (terrestrial or extraterrestrial, inhabited/life complexity, technology level, species appearance (if alien), government style, beliefs, etc) and then have the teleporter send me to the place that most closely matches my vision.

If not, then idk. I'd consider teleporting myself near the event horizon of a black hole, but I'd probably get vaporized the moment I teleported if it didn't come with some kinda invulnerable safety field.

To nearest Black Hole and die.

Can't I get a return trip? It's going to be annoying to get a train or plane to take me home.

The sun.

Peaceful alien society that will treat me like an honored pet, like a cat.

One way, no return trip, but I can get back eventually? I guess I'd teleport to work tomorrow but right when I'm supposed to be there and just act like I'd been there the whole time to see if anyone was confused.

I'll go to The Trackless Wastes of Sparsis.

I think I left my pen there.

Work, so I don't have to ride in the cold.

Hell

I guess to work. It takes me 2 days of travelling to get to work and I have to be there. Assuming I can't return via teleporting from the moon or whatever. Just save myself a days travel

Only one-way? Alright, well I'm gonna go walk Lairig Ghru, a hiking route that I like the look of that is too long for me to do there and back. I'll walk out however far I want to go and then magically teleport back to the start

Visit my friend as easy return from japan seem unlikely with one way teleport.

My mom lives three large states away and has Alzheimer's but is still able to recognize people. She's well cared for, but I'm sole caregiver for my bedbound family member. I'm reconciled to the fact I cannot travel to visit her, but if I could go for just half an hour, I would.

Edit: oh, one way only? Nvm.

I need to be at work for the next few days so I would use it to teleport to work instead of taking the train.

Can I teleport myself into Voyager I? I'd like to see what's out there as I go...

The toilet. Those stairs are high, you know?

Without a return trip I'd just use it to go to work and spare myself the commute. I'd sleep in that day.

The centre of the earth would be interesting but will save this for my death bed.

Teleport to Vatican the moment a mass happen right in front of the pope. Then claim to be the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Teleporting home from work would be pretty useful.

My mom lives three large states away and has Alzheimer's but is still able to recognize people. She's well cared for, but I'm sole caregiver for my bedbound family member. I'm reconciled to the fact I cannot travel to visit her, but if I could go for just half an hour, I would.

I'd like to visit the center of the sun.

A snowy, ruralish place in Canada that I love a lot, which may or may not be my home.

Going to a car wash.

I'm going back to bed.

That's a lot of limitations. I take my dog every time I leave the house! Maybe cheat and also take my passport :p

That said, probably somewhere like Aus or NZ...

It'd have to be extremely public, preferably during a live broadcast sporting event or something. To generate buzz and news. Hoping that's enough for them to let me stay and make some money :p

Or challenge someone to a race. Or an escape challenge make some money. The problem here I is getting it set up in time.

The NYSE primary server room, assuming I can prepare and bring a duffel of utter destruction.

They'll be able to rebuild it from backups, but if I only get 1 teleport, might as well at least start destroying the blight on humanity that either creates or informs all others: the recorded ego scores of the multinational oligarch profiteers.

Hmmmm. Works only once... has a 24 hours deadline... only transports matter...

Look, I'll take it for $5. And I'm already taking lots of risk.

Through what mechanism am I being teleported?

Can I be teleported to the origin of it?

Round trip?

Does it teleport you where you think you want to go or do you need to account for the earth 's rotation and movement?

So many bedrooms to choose from... Gotta figure out how I can identify which ones have the horniest occupants.

"teleport" - How exactly? am I unassembled and reassembled? Or does my body just move there? At light speed? NO THANKS.

What does teleport mean to you? Exactly a me-sized number of atoms shifts places with me? So I won't burst into flames and leave an explosion where I was?

I end up teleported exactly where I intend to be? Without sight? Without knowledge of that location? In the exact space and time I disappear?

Nah nah nah nah absolutely fucking not. no
