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

I think I'd probably pack a bed, TV, microwave, and mini fridge into it and go travel and see a bunch of the world without worrying about lodging. I could also use it at work to eliminate my commute and save myself the high rent of living in Northern Virginia lol.

My feeble American brain can't comphrened the concept of safe, free, private housing.

Same! I would also cram a small server and ton of tools into it so i would have a portable hackerspace.

~~This isn’t allowed according to OP. To paraphrase “you can teleport back to where you teleported in”~~

Edit: this is incorrect. I misunderstood.

Don't see how his use would violate that?

Think of it like a portable hotel room with no bathroom. You can travel wherever while outside the room and when it's time to turn in you just use the room.

He's also saying that he would not need to commute as in his home is close to work without having to worry about the high rent in the area where his work is.

Ah that makes sense now. Appreciate you adding the much needed clarity for me.

Think thats what they meant. Just use it as there home. At work then teleport to there space then back to work. When traveling the normal way just use it for sleeping. Basicly taking your home with you.

you could just bring a sleeping bag and a ground mat...

[-] MrVilliam@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago

Why do that when my bed is so much more comfortable?

[-] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

And you can masturbate without annoying the coworkers who never seem to leave their workplace.

in order to:

see a bunch of the world without worrying about lodging

[-] tristan@aussie.zone 23 points 10 months ago

A) it's not always safe to sleep outside when travelling

B) it's not always legal to sleep where you are

So by taking your own bed in the pocket dimension, you'll always have a safe, comfortable and legal place to stay without any cost
