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

~~This isn’t allowed according to OP. To paraphrase β€œyou 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.
