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

I think I'd probably pack a bed, TV, microwave, and mini fridge into it and go travel and see a bunch of the world without worrying about lodging. I could also use it at work to eliminate my commute and save myself the high rent of living in Northern Virginia lol.

~~This isn’t allowed according to OP. To paraphrase “you 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.
