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

Three cubic meters, or a cube with three metre sides?

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 6 points 9 months ago

I edited the post text - the latter

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

So, 27 m³

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

Or (3m)^3

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

7133 gallons

How much is that in bees?

[-] Meowoem@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago

About 27 bees, assuming we're talking the new spring of 2024 giant bees

I am trying to imagine a cubed meter of buzzing terror hive mind.

And also: I asked a serious question, is it too much to expect a straight answer around here??

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Yes

(3m)^3 is the exact same thing as 3m^3.

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

It's, not as you cube everything in the brackets, so (3m)^3 = 27m^3

[-] rikudou 1 points 9 months ago

How does that work? If it's in brackets, it's still 3m.

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

BIDMAS. You do brackets first, then indices. So (xy)^z = x^(z)y^(z)

[-] rikudou 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

That's... not how it works. You're mixing units and math. And BIDMAS means brackets first, so first you solve xy and then you do indices. (xy)^z is not the same thing as x^z * y^z.
