Wwyd if you were given a pocket dimension 3m cubed? (lemm.ee)

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

Power over fiber optic cables?

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No, power over electrical cables, internet over mobile data/WiFi, if the place you teleported from has that.

How do the cables enter the toroidal space?

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

A tiny portal.

Who's paying for it? Is the Wi-Fi also entering through this portal? What other electromagnetic incursions can we expect?

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I guess the power companies? But they won't notice such a small usage. Yes, that is also where mobile data/WiFi enters the pocket dimension, from the place where you teleported in.

So you're stealing power, and there's definitely other EM leakage that you're conspicuously not mentioning.
