Nerds Reveal How and Where They Would Teleport To If They Were Given The Ability

Science and the Universe are an awe inspiring entity. It all holds endless possibilities. The thought of time travel or finding holes in the Universe to travel through has always been, for many, within the realm of the probable. So far nothing has been proven but that doesn't stop science fanatics from believing.

Redditor cfryant *wondered _[You've got a SINGLE USE portal gun - where do place your two permanent portals and how would you use it?] The science fanatics of Reddit couldn't wait to answer. _

WAY TO OVERTHINK IT!

It's single use, so realistically I'd probably be afraid of wasting it and just hold onto it indefinitely like a rare item in an RPG.

Then, once I finally decide what I'm going to use it on, I find out that one of the two surfaces can't actually accept a portal.

THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME.

[rebelmouse-image 18350483 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

One in my house, the other in the back of a utility van

I could go on a road trip anywhere, and still sleep in my bed and go to work and stuff. Just have to park the van in between legs of the trip.

DOUBLE THE FUN!

[rebelmouse-image 18352928 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Two door-shaped panels. I have two portable portal surfaces now!

I HAVE THE POWER!

[rebelmouse-image 18352929 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

About 5 feet apart, vertically, on a piece of metal that I can move around. I'll wrap it in copper coil, toss a magnet in there, and generate literally infinite electricity for the planet.

LOOK BEYOND THE UNIVERSE.

[rebelmouse-image 18347134 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Because it's just a gun, I can't really shoot a portal accurately on another far planet. That's why I partner with Elon Musk to shoot one portal in an isolated room on earth and then carry the gun with a one-way rocket to mars, so that the second portal can be shot there. Boom, we quickly become a multiplanetary species. We construct a dome on mars and set up a continuous but controlled air flow coming from earth through the portal. Then we begin to export some sea water for terraforming (not bad against rising sea levels) and so forth... :D

MAKE IT RAIN!!

[rebelmouse-image 18349825 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Trafalgar square and central park.

I charge £20/$25 to use my portal.

I am now bajilionaire.

NATIONAL EFFICIENCY.

[rebelmouse-image 18978696 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Within the U.S. would allow more travelers per day since they wouldn't have to set up Customs at each end.

KEEP IT MOVING!!

[rebelmouse-image 18978697 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

First portal attached to a picture frame so it can be moved around at will.

Second portal will also be attached to a picture frame.

Now we got movable portals that be rented out as needed.

LOOK TO THE HEART OF THE SEA.

[rebelmouse-image 18978698 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

One at the bottom of the ocean the other on the coast. Insert turbine into the absurdly high pressure stream of water shooting out. Build my new financial empire on the back of super cheap power.

ALMOST PARADISE.

[rebelmouse-image 18978699 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

1. Somewhere tectonically stable with good weather, accessible to transportation.

2. Geostationary orbit.

LET'S NOT GET CRAZY!

[rebelmouse-image 18353794 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

  1. Place a portal on the ceiling of a large, secure building.
  2. Place a portal on the floor of that same building.
  3. Build a containment chamber extending from one portal to the other.
  4. Wrap that containment chamber in copper wire.
  5. Extend a lead from the copper wire to a series of batteries.
  6. Drop some magnets into the containment chamber.
  7. Break the universe.

LET'S CUT THOSE APRON STRINGS.

[rebelmouse-image 18345010 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

One at my house and one at my kids' house 200 miles away so I don't have to spend 16 hours in the car every time they come for the weekend (there and back to pick them up and again to drop them off).

I could easily see them whenever I/they wanted and that would be so great.

LET'S SEE THE WORLD...

[rebelmouse-image 18978701 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Boston Massachusetts and Berlin Germany. Then I'd change $150 per trip until I was rich, then let everyone use it for free.

WOW THAT IS LAZY!

[rebelmouse-image 18359988 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Bottom of my computer chair and above the toilet so I never have to get up to poop ever again.

PEACE OUT EARTH!

[rebelmouse-image 18978702 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

One on venus, second one at mars.

ELON... LET'S CHAT!

[rebelmouse-image 18978704 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

One in the middle of nowhere where I could afford to buy a butt load of land, then get Elon Musk to put the other on the Moon. I would be the man who made building space stations on the moon a possibility instantly.

OR JUST GET A CAR.

[rebelmouse-image 18347920 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Side wall in my house, taking me to the locker room at work. No more asking for rides.

ALWAYS HELP FAMILY.

[rebelmouse-image 18353394 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

My house in the US and my in-laws house in Australia. That way my husband could see his parents every day, and we could take care of them whenever they need us.

FEED THE WORLD ALL IT NEEDS.

[rebelmouse-image 18978707 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

I get with an investor. We build a sort of hydroelectric dam, I put one portal in the floor to act as a drain, and one in the ceiling where the water comes out, and a water wheel in the middle that the water turns as it falls.

Perpetual motion and infinite free energy.

GO TO EXTREME OPPOSITE ENDS.

[rebelmouse-image 18978710 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Top of the Empire State Building, and as deep as humanly possible on the ocean floor.

Some people want to see the world burn. I want to see it drown.

It's a teacher's job to leave a lasting impression and set a good example for their students.

With this in mind, particularly in this age of viral videos and social media, teachers have to be very careful of what they say during class hours.

Even so, there are very few teachers who haven't said something they've regretted when teaching a class.

Sometimes to control unruly students, other times when they've simply had enough.

Then too, sometimes teachers leave their students baffled and perplexed by what they say in their classroom, well aware of what they were saying.

Always making for a memorable story.

As a kid, I never raised alarm bells even when I started to feel sick. My mom got stressed easily and was busy taking care of my younger brother, so I never wanted to be a burden by making her take me to the doctor only to find out nothing was wrong.

However, in fifth grade, my ears started to hurt and I knew something was wrong. I told my mom, she took me to the doctor, and I found out I had an ear infection.

Now, an ear infection isn't serious at all, and it was easily treatable. Still, I learned something from that experience: no one knows your body better than you. You know if and when you're sick and how serious it is, even if you don't now exactly what is wrong.

Redditors can corroborate this. Many of them have experienced symptoms that told them they were sick in some way -- usually with a very serious illness -- and are ready to share those experiences.

When in the beginning stages of dating, it's important to know as much as humanly possible.

The element of surprise is no longer a fun aspect of romance.

Ask the small questions. Ask the hard questions.

Interrogate. Grill. Investigate.

Of course, you should do it with a subtle hand instead of an interrogation lamp.

The truth is all we have.

Ask everything.

As much as we always hop for our dating efforts to be worth it and for every relationship to work out, we all know that some relationships are not destined to work out.

But sometimes relationships end for totally valid reasons, and sometimes the reasons are painful, if not devastating.
