    One on my butt, one in the toilet, never need to poop again!

    Bonus points if someone finds the toilet 😉

      I mean you would still need to poop. But you wouldn’t have to worry about the time or your situation.

    I would think about buying a house out in the middle of nowhere and link up a closet with one in my house. Free extra square feet in my house.

    Realistically, I’d link up my house with a family member’s house that we need to fly to.

    Upon receiving it I would spend the first god knows how many hours trying to convince myself not to use it for sex things.

    Beyond that, I think I’d definitely have to consider permanently renting a storage room in a country I want to visit often, and storing a portal in there.

      Won’t work, as you thrust your ass will pull away. Only way I could think of is having the portals on platforms that would move with you.

        Or potentially, you could just move one of the portals relative to the other.

    I would contact NASA and tell them to launch a robot to mars that can shoot it. I’d shoot it at the ground, then put it on the robot, then have a portal to mars.

      I’m wondering if the people suggesting it for planetary travel have played Portal 2. It uh…it doesn’t end too well when they try.

      Watching the atmospheres of Earth and Mars try to reach equilibrium right when the portal opened up would be pretty interesting!

        If you set one end up in an air-tight room with an airlock, it would be just like a door from a mars station.

        For safety’s sake, it might be better to put that on a space station, though. Better to wreck Mars than equalize Earth and Mars.

          So if the robot shoots the portal on the ground and then itself, what good does a set of portals that are both on Mars do?

            You shoot one portal on earth, then attach it to the robot.

    Best use would be to get two steel plates or something, of apropriate dimensions for portals and shoot them there. Now I have two portals I can move as I please and where I please

      How thick are the plates? Are they bendable? What happens if you bend one of the portals? What happens if an object goes through a bent portal?

        I imagined it being thick enoug to not bend easily. But I guess if it could, either the portal would somehow prevent it or expire

      In the game if a wall moved the portal would evaporate.

    Save it. I don’t have anything currently that I would want to use a portal gun on given that I can only use it once. I might use it to get myself out of a sticky situation, or wait to see if I ever move into a relatively permanent home and I could make a portal from my house to another location for convenience.

      So it’ll be just like the bag full of Maximum Heal potions when the credits roll, except I imagine you could pass it on to someone with a message not to wait for the perfect moment.

        Maybe, but I don’t particularly feel the need to use a portal gun. If I never end up using it I don’t think I’d have particular regrets, but if I used it to save my ass during a high-stakes situation then I’d be quite glad.
