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.

Take a portal to a black hole, keep the portal open for funsies.

Read the instructions.
Sell it to a space agency that promises it to use it as a wormhole.

It needs to be aimed at our moon (Selene) and an exo-dwarf planet.

I would put one portal on a pneumatically actuated plate above a dais that holds an object, and the other portal on a plate placed at a 45 degree angle. I would then see if an object on the dais would fly or fall out of the 45 degree portal, if the other portal actuated and closed the distance between its starting point and the dais.

It would be a bad use of it, but probably pick a random road online and pick a random volcano. Whoever gets unlucky and doesn't notice the nightmare portal in the ground gets a free trip to the base of a volcano at no cost. Would obviously need the portal to be in a location where you cannot just easily return from, though. Gonna turn a random volcano and random street into quite the tourist attraction for no reason.

shoot one portal in my bathroom. Carry the emergency bathroom gun everywhere just in case. No emergency will ever actually be important enough to use it but the peace of mind is always there...
