Its a space of 1meter×1meterx1meter, basically a cubic meter where the matter replicator works on. (So, no replicating cars, since its too big)

How do you min-max this?

Can... Can I replicate myself?

You can replicate yourself when you were a kid...

...wait a minute, what are you trying to do? I think its illegal. 🤨 📸👮‍♂️🚓

I'm an average woman, at 168 cm height I can easily fit in a cubic metre if I crouch or lay in fetal position.

I often feel like I could accomplish so much more if I had a clone. Just one, more than one clone would become an expense

Anyway if that's not an option then I'd replicate a variety of:

dollar bills.

Jewellery, gold and precious gems.

Computers, and phones, especially if I can sell some of its parts such as the graphics card

Other luxury items such as parfum, spirits, etc

Eggs

I don't know, I feel most of these things would lose their value pretty quickly if everyone had a replicator. Kind of like what AI is doing to the creative arts. Only this time it would be the rich getting affected, not struggling artists

  • Alien: Why do you want to replicate things for money?
  • Mothra: So I can buy the things I want!
  • Alien: Can’t you replicate the things you want instead?
  • Mothra: This thing can replicate admiration?!

This thing can't replicate a house. I know, I know I fit inside a cubic metre but having a house that size is a bit restrictive. I was hoping for something more spacious.

If you're short, yea.

Dwarf army!
