What would you do with a video game style inventory?

The rules are as follows:

  • If you can lift an object above your head unassisted, you can put it into your inventory.
  • There is no limit in the total quantity, volume or weight of objects in your inventory.
  • You can immediately store or produce a stored item to and from your inventory at will.
  • Objects will remain in their original state when stored in an inventory. From their perspective, no time has passed.

    Sounds like someone has been reading Dungeon Crawler Carl 😂

    I'm not sure the full extent of it, but I know my food prep would be amazing. Keeping any type of food at its peak and I can eat a freshly cooked meal, still warm, at any time would be amazing.

    I'd need a lot less storage space at home, which would be awesome. My library would be with me at all times. Ready to play any boardgame or RPG at the drop of a hat.

      Food in general would be just incredible. I do so little with fruits and vegetables because they often go bad before I decide to eat or cook with them. If there's no guilt about them potentially going bad, I could always just have a little bit of everything available and eat a lot healthier.

    What about living objects? Imagine that instead of using hundreds of rockets to build a base on the Moon/Mars you just need to simply send one person practically without luggage.

      If you can lift, then it fits.

    Vacation packing would be a lot easier! But if we make the assumption that everyone else has this ability too, terrorism would be a lot easier too. This could just as easily be used for evil as it would for personal convenience. I would love it personally, but it would be terrifying considering the potential ramifications.

    What would I do? Ntohing extra - I already do that. This is precisely why I hoarded so many things that I don't need and likely never will.

    Not including food, that goes straight into my internal inventory when I happen to hold it in my hands.

    It depends on whether others have the same ability. If not, I could start the world's best moving company. But if so, there would be no more need for moving companies in general. On second...

    On second thought, maybe the better move is to use the inventory to preserve organs for transplant.

      That’s an exercise for the reader.
