But then you haven't travelled 7 inches. If you want to measure how far someone has travelled, you measure the distance from a body part in one position to the same body part in the second position. If you measure from the back of the foot in one position why would you measure to the front of the foot in the other position?

Ammm, that proves that you'll likely end up in the door. If you stand facing the door and measure 7 inches from the back of the foot towards the door, you likely won't pass the door.

Right. I seem to have confused myself.

Also another point is that it says "up to" 7 inches. Who knows if that distance is a choice or random.

If it is a choice, then stand back to the wall and teleport -24 inches to safely teleport through the wall.

[-] CrzyRusski@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Lol right, didn't catch that small detail

[-] Zeshade@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

If a door is 2 inches thick and thickest part of your body is the length of your foot in inches, let's say 11 inches which Google tells me is a reasonable length for a man's foot, then to travel far enough into the direction of the door so that the back of your foot ends up on the other side of the door, you'd need to travel 11+2 inches.

Depends on how it's measured. I was supposing a position at the center of your mass being used, but there are no guidelines to go by. Guess you just have to take the pill and see how it works! Personally, I'd pick something else unless I had a way to verify how it worked beforehand.
