I guess to work. It takes me 2 days of travelling to get to work and I have to be there. Assuming I can't return via teleporting from the moon or whatever. Just save myself a days travel

Is the rover on Mars still taking pics? Cause I'd teleport there. Just to make everyone wonder how I got there.

The Eye of the Universe :;)
I need to be at work for the next few days so I would use it to teleport to work instead of taking the train.
Peaceful alien society that will treat me like an honored pet, like a cat.

Visit my friend as easy return from japan seem unlikely with one way teleport.
Maybe try wingsuit flying or free soloing, knowing that I basically have a get out of jail free card (assuming the teleport doesn't preserve my momentum I guess)
Now you're thinking with portals!
Even if it does preserve your momentum, with some really good trigonometry, you could teleport to a location that would result in that momentum landing you softly and exactly at the top of a cliff. If you can redirect the momentum, it can be any cliff. If you can't, you'll have to choose a cliff in another part of the world so that gravity burns off all your inertia at just the right time.
Can the teleporter interpret intent, and will it take anything I'm currently carrying (like a backpack)? If so, then I'd probably take some time to figure out where I'd like to go (terrestrial or extraterrestrial, inhabited/life complexity, technology level, species appearance (if alien), government style, beliefs, etc) and then have the teleporter send me to the place that most closely matches my vision.
If not, then idk. I'd consider teleporting myself near the event horizon of a black hole, but I'd probably get vaporized the moment I teleported if it didn't come with some kinda invulnerable safety field.
One way, no return trip, but I can get back eventually? I guess I'd teleport to work tomorrow but right when I'm supposed to be there and just act like I'd been there the whole time to see if anyone was confused.
Work, so I don't have to ride in the cold.
If it allowed me to teleport between dimensions as well, definitely moving to that one parallel Earth where everything is peaceful, prices are cheap, and everything is seemingly perfect (except for the lottery system where a small group of people die if they win in a population control sort of scheme). Don't take a lot of money and your odds of being picked are low.
Though, if it only worked for this world, probably just use it once to get to the kitchen faster at a random time because I can't use it to get to college because of my class schedule. That, and I'm pretty sure my parents would find it suspicious if I suddenly teleported to a store and called either needing a ride or they cannot find me, especially if I don't give them a heads up.
Only one-way? Alright, well I'm gonna go walk Lairig Ghru, a hiking route that I like the look of that is too long for me to do there and back. I'll walk out however far I want to go and then magically teleport back to the start
I'd like to visit the center of the sun.
My mom lives three large states away and has Alzheimer's but is still able to recognize people. She's well cared for, but I'm sole caregiver for my bedbound family member. I'm reconciled to the fact I cannot travel to visit her, but if I could go for just half an hour, I would.
Edit: oh, one way only? Nvm.
Can I teleport myself into Voyager I? I'd like to see what's out there as I go...
