Sheer horror. You’ll never be able to eat these again.
This has been brought up before. Gravel isn’t cheap. This is basically infinite money.
If used continuously, you’re basically The Flash.
Just a bad idea unless you can put it inside your existing nose for double the sniff-sensitivity.
Okay, that’s just fun.
Again, used continuously, this is the fountain of youth. You’ll still die of old age though.
Only useful under very specific circumstances. Also, define a “container”.
Unless the Khitan civilization knew things we don’t, this isn’t useful at all.
Fast as he is now or when he was alive?

I’m thinking that #7 might be useful in certain policing or security positions, depending on the definition of empty (there’s always dust and air).

Got a bunch of containers that need to be inspected? You can cross the ones you can see through off the list.

Also useful for winning the cup-and-ball game

  It allows you to remotely see anywhere in the world where a transparent container (like a glass) is.

How would that work? “Age” isn’t some inherent property of atoms.

  The text just says look 10 hours younger. To me, that means un-doing all the apparent signs of aging: superficial stuff. Less wrinkles, fewer sunspots/freckles, hair is back where it used to be, no more cataracts, etc. Meanwhile, your internal organs, bones, and muscles keep going with the usual aging process.

    Also, there’s nothing saying you can’t spam that shit and layer it. We probably need a rules lawyer or any of these could be exploitable.
