Free electricity? Mining crypto with a lot of stolen hardware.
Smuggling would be easy for reasons already mentioned.
Murder would be easy. Teleport someone in, teleport out all the air.
Escaping from robberies and hairy situations, likewise creating hairy situations.
Sleeping in 0g sounds comfy, training at 2g sounds awesome.
Living rent free on every city ever. Paired with a car means I can be everywhere.
Huge portable storage box.
I think I'd make various uses of it, but I think I'd mainly use it as an "at-sea cabin." Rig it up with a small bed-over-desk type situation, one of those little dorm minifridge/microwave deals, and stock it with tools/supplies etc. So basically I have a weightless camper van that's always with me and never needs parking. Hell certain city lifestyles where your "home" is where you sleep and shit and you spend the rest of your day out and about, it'd be all you need. Only problem is no plumbing.
I'd use it as a jizz shoebox but bigger. Since you can accelerate things inside if it, you can make my 27m^3 jizz flow at terminal velocity and then I can
Boy, oh boy, I Just finished reading the comment above about why the pocket dimension of falling rocks wouldn't reach the speed of light using real physics explanations.
And then this guy wants to cum in it.
The Internet really does have everything.
*It has a couple of plug sockets and can connect to internet from the region you teleported in from
What do you mean connect to internet? usually that needs to work through a provider, and be hard wired. I think for this scenario its safer to assume you have radio signal access meaning you could have mobile data and calling.
I'm also assuming the teleportation is relative to the earth so If I'm on a plane, I wouldnt' want to teleport into my pocket dimension as I'd teleport out of it away from the plane.
One thing that comes to mind is you're basically an extremely hard to catch drug smuggler. The only time anyone will ever find drugs on you is when you're taking it out or into the dimension. Heck, even in doing sales, you can't be easily caught because you can drop off the drugs somewhere remote, and pick up the cash elsewhere. Even if you get "ripped off" the biggest problem for you is the money lost on buying the product, and travel time.
I think having a specialized emergency kit in the dimension would be very valuable. Maybe some explosives if you ever need to clear out an area though that should be rare. Canned food, and water. First aid kit. Some kind of smoke bomb (running away from a situation). Laptop with internet access (if you ever need to hide out, acts a entertainment and a way to hear what's going on in the world). Cardboard box that you can fit into (not certain whether you should teleport back somewhere because people are looking for you? Teleport back, inside the cardboard box to see if it's safe lol). Several rechargeable batteries since you basically have unlimited free power.
I think one of the more practical uses is using it as a home. You can live almost anywhere and have at least a small home. Get a job in the highest paying area you can access, and live in your home for most of the time and you'll save so much because those high wages usually stem from high cost of living.
I don't think you'd want to transport people because the more people that know about your ability, the more attention you'll get which is very bad. The only way transporting people really works is if they're transported while unconscious so they're not aware they were in another dimension.
Water? I want a personal bathroom.
No, sorry. I mean, you can bring in a tank of water if you want, or even make the whole pakve underwater, but there's no plumbing.
Mini portals for electricity and internet but not water and sewage? Cheapskate!
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 told you, if you knock through one wall, you'll be knocking through the opposite wall. As it's a toroidal space, they're the same wall. Same for the ceiling and floor.
Yeah, but ya gotta test it out. And then you can toss a ball to yourself
That's perfect for drug smuggling
Okay, first things first, this talk of making it my living space? Nix that. That works well enough for a single person eating microwave dinners, but I like cooking and having people over. But travel? Yeah, that would be awesome. I'm thinking:
My only concern then becomes a toilet and shower. I guess you could move water in, but the water pressure is going to be crap.
Can an object be on both sides of the portal at once? Like if I ran a cable from the inside to the outside. I'm trying to work out how to handle water and sewage, because like everyone else I've concluded this is obviously a living space.
It becomes my house. Now all I have to worry about is food, water and a few incidentals. To shower, I could probably exploit the geometry for endless water pressure instead of using a pump, then I'd just need a little heater and a filter of some kind.
The first thing I do, of course, is dick with the gravity dial. See how low I can get it before I lose my lunch, see how high I can turn it and still do everything I need. Maybe I stick something heavy to the side of the dial so it turns itself and so on.
Maybe to raise the rest of what I need, I'll start a moving company.
The weird geometry could also have some engineering uses that are pretty unique. For example, you could make a magnetic bottle for plasma that doesn't leak as it wouldn't need ends, or a laser in a frequency of light that's hard to reflect.
Hotbox then some 0G chillaxin. Put that hyper-advanced tech to good use.
Paint the walls green screen green, set up a pretty powerful PC setup (desk and chair included), set up a futon, make sure I have plenty of mood lighting, and start what I want to be a hobby of mine by recording videos while using a 3D model of my fursona without having to worry about people disturbing me.
Rent it out. Think of the passive income
I would steal so many things
Are there any restraints with any kind of outside object your pocket dimension is anchored to? It sounds like this would be super exploitable to pull off some cleverness just as an "invisibility cloak" (although presumably you couldn't see your surroundings from the inside, or it'd really be OP), let alone if you're not tied to a physical object. If you wanted to, you could probably rob banks and overthrow countries with that shit.
