You could turn invisibility on and off as you like and there would be no time limit. Your clothes would turn invisible too, and you could decide whether the items you are holding would be visible or not.
There would be no limits on how many times or where you could teleport. The items you hold while teleporting would be teleported too. You would also have the ability to know if the place would be safe to teleport to, so you wouldn’t teleport and get impaled by an icicle or teleport inside a wall and get your insides filled with concrete or something.
Personally, I don’t know which one would I pick. Invisibility would be awesome for pranks and stuff, but teleportation probably would be more useful for everyday life.
Teleportation every time. It’s just too useful. Invisibility is really only useful for mischief and security. And both can also be done with teleportation.
And you could make a killing on selling instant travel.
Or make instant travel a killing. Straight to the moon.
I’m struggling to think of any situation in which invisibility would benefit me personally. Teleportation would save me over an hour a day of driving to/from work alone, plus hours at work itself, fuel & vehicle maintenance costs just about disappear, world travel becomes something possible to do any time of any day on a whim, you could do anything.

I feel like Greek food for lunch, suddenly appears at a cafe in Athens.
Maybe some chocolate for dessert, pops into Switzerland for a moment , then back home in time for my kid’s soccer game.
Have you thought about moving closer to work?
Teleportation. There’s the obvious advantges like no commute. The biggest, however, is that I would just feel so much safer (as a woman). Dodgy situation? Just teleport away.
I seem to be alone in that I see teleportation as a great way to travel all the time without ever having to set foot on a plane again. The time and money saved would allow me to visit with distant friends on the regular.
And move to a cheap spacious house in the middle of nowhere, ideally somewhere absolutely beautiful. You could work anywhere you want and never need to actually live there. You could also become the first person on every planet and moon. I’d probably try to get nasa to pay me a billion dollars to be on call to teleport anything they want to anywhere in the solar system.
Most of the things you want to do with invisibility you can do with teleportation, but likely better. The only exception being hiding in the lockerroom of your preferred gender but bruh, c’mon this isn’t a 80’s movie. Also maybe faking a haunting since the invisibility lets you make stuff “float”.
Wanna be rich or just have loot? Teleport somewhere you know has it. Grab and go.
Wanna kill somebody? Teleport to their bedroom while they sleep and shoot them. Or for the less messy alternative, teleport in, grab them, teleport a hundred feet above Point Nemo, drop 'em, and dip.
Wanna live a life unbothered by anyone? Teleport to the middle of nowhere and slowly bring in supplies. Pop out and back in whenever you feel like it.
Yeah, teleportation solves way more real life problems than invisibility does.
Invisibility in the real world, for a civilian, is really only good for pranks and crime. Which isn’t exactly a bad thing, but teleportation can do all of that and more.
You could use your invisibility to become the most effective citizen journalist in the world though. Get footage of Exxon execs scheming with politicians to fuck the planet or get world leaders on tape dismissing the Geneva conventions, that sort of thing.
You could in most cases so the same with teleportation

Of course, obtaining evidence in this way makes it illegal to use in court
That’s why I said citizen journalist. Exposing corrupt people in the news is a major step towards criminal court, and even if there is no case, public opinion can be swayed and that’s a death sentence in many ways.
Teleportation is the queen of all powers. Invisibility can be basically mimicked with quick teleportation work if needed.
Although my legs would probably atrophy from lack of use, lol. Why walk to the kitchen when I could blink there and get a sandwich and blink back in no time at all?
Time control is the pinnacle of superpowers. Most aspects of every other super power can be achieved or closely appreciated with full time control.
Interesting view point. I would have to consider whether time still passes for the user of the power? If you freeze time for everyone else, do you still age? And if so, I would still take teleportation over that as travel would be instant vs “appearing” instant to outside perspectives.
Absolutely. You could never fail at anything, or you could try it again. You would have full control of probability, which is fucking insane.
Why visit the kitchen at all? Just teleport that sammich straight into the tum-tum.
Also, what’s the king of all powers?
Also, what’s the king of all powers?
Having money
Queen is superior. At least in chess… and life 😉
And rock and roll
Love it!
And teleport it back out after the stomach cramps start!
Teleportation by a long shot, though I would be afraid it would make me fat and unhealthy (never walking just teleporting everywhere).
If you are saying I can hold another person and teleport us both? Abso-damn-lutely teleportation, can you imagine the savings on travel?
Teleportation would be so much useful. I spend 80% of my time alone. People already can’t see me.
Teleportation solves the world energy crisis, invisibility does not.
It could help in a lot of other crises too
During a natural disaster, you could jump back and forth carrying aid in, and the wounded people out. In any time sensitive crisis, you could get people out of harms way. This bit is more complicated, but you could potentially help out during floods and fires, depending on how far the ‘teleport other stuff with you’ extends to.
A reasonable limit might be ‘Only what you could physically carry yourself’, in which case you’d need to be a lot more strategic. In that case, you could work on personal strength and be a one-human-rescue-team. When there isn’t a disaster, you could probably shuttle light weight (but important) stuff for a fee, then use that money to fund your own charity to do good
As for this prompt, you could probably just teleport away when someone might see you, or teleport to spots that people can’t see. So you could do most things that invisibility would allow
I don’t think that’s necessarily true. It could use energy proportional to the energy that could be gained by moving an object somewhere.
There would be no limits on how many times or where you could teleport. The items you hold while teleporting would be teleported too.
Sure, if you choose to change the parameters from what OP said, it might change the outcome.
How could teleportation solve the energy crisis? I’m too lazy to think myself so pls elaborate.
In addition to what the other commenter said: from the description of OP, the teleportation is basically “magic”, ergo free potential energy (by moving objects from one place to another).
Create a large magnet in a generator that’s very tall, free transport the magnet up to the top, let it fall slowly creating electricity. It’s basically how hydro works: the sun “transports” water, in the form of clouds, to a higher point, gravity pulls it down, we use that to make energy.
What if you could only teleport yourself and not other objects?
Build a flywheel with a bunch of places to stand positioned around the wheel, teleport to the higher platforms as the wheel turns.
There would be no limits on how many times or where you could teleport. The items you hold while teleporting would be teleported too.
Sure, if you choose to change the parameters from what OP said, it might change the outcome.
That said, the other guy already answered you. It would become less efficient if you only had your body weight, but it still a solve of unlimited (though small volume) energy.
Scratch costs with transportation. No need for any means of transportation.
Also a lot more free time. No commuting, no early leave to get somewhere on time. Just blink and you’re there.
Does the teleportation come with a bampf noise or do I have to carry my own bluetooth speaker and a button? This is make or break for me.
I want the H2G2 Krikkit robot teleportation noises: the sound of 100,000 people saying “WHOP!” when you appear, and 100,000 people saying “FOOP!” when you disappear.
Do I sense Nightcrawler vibes?
Yes! Although someone requested an Elderman sound and now I want the sound effect to be customizable via an app.
No, that super sense wasn’t one of the options.
The best teleporter ever created, regardless the drawback.

Not even a question for me, absolutely teleportation.
I wouldn’t need to own a car, never need to pay for plane tickets or any sort of transportation.
I can go anywhere at any time. Live anywhere and then just blink where I want/need to be.
Invisibility doesn’t provide nearly the same practical applications. The only useful thing I can think of for invisibility would be to hide inside a bank vault and steal money, but that could technically be achieved via teleportation too.
Invisibility does not get you out of the bank vault.
And unless you are stuffing your orifices, don’t think you are getting far with a theft of floating cash anyhow
Do I keep my velocity relative to earth if I teleport? Because if would really suck if I teleported from one side of the equator to the other one and am suddenly moving at 3300 km/h
There’s always a catch, huh …
In the same line of thinking: do I go blind if I turn invisible? After all: no light falls onto the receptors in my eyes, it all just passes through.
Teleport. I could be running late to something important but in the blink of an eye be there right on time. Plus, absolutely no need for any form of transport when you can just teleport.
If Flash taught me anything, is that being slow doesn’t make you late, but being fast makes you lazier, and laziness makes you very late.
Teleportation. Doesn’t matter if you can see me when I can just pop in and out in an instant.
I’ll teleport to where you can’t see me. Checkmate legtards
If you can pop in and out fast enough then you can be there and not be there at the same time.
Wear clothes that cover your identifying features
