Ask Lemmy

Solid cube of antimatter. Fuck you world!

I suspect a lot of guns, explosives, body armor and anti-armor munitions due to the immediate civil war that would break out in most countries as the wealthy elite tells the government to confiscate everyones matter replicators.

Replicate the replicator. Next day, use both to replicate replicators. Repeat ad nauseam.

First I'm gonna move out of my apartment since there will sure be plenty of geniuses who's gonna produce 1 cubic meter of solid gold, and the building might not be happy about 20-ton blocks appearing out of thin air.

I’d never have to quit drugs! Woohoo

You mean after gold and diamonds essentially become worthless? A lot of people would definitely use it for medications.

Obviously everybody now has high end computers, cameras, a variety of lenses, phones, etc. Foldable Ebikes like the aipas would fit in the space.

1 meter solar panels are a hit but since most batteries and capacitors require materials difficult to handle it becomes highly demanded.

Every political building now has thick blastproof exteriors as making bombs has never been easier, judges live in the courthouse now.

Let's be honest, it'll be nothing but dildos and fleshlights for the first year and a half. We'll be swimming in life-like toy dicks before anyone realizes we can do anything else with it.

The main thing is positioning in order to reduce wasted space as much as possible. As someone with a 3D printer, I have a teensy bit of an idea on how to position "ready-made" to maximize space. I certainly cannot print/replicate a fully mounted car frame in a single cubic meter, but I can print parts of the frame in such a way that I can mount them like legos, if each rod is 5x5x99cm, I can fit roughly 361 (19x19, with a bit of space between them so they don't come fused) in the cubic meter. Is that enough to make the whole frame? No idea.

Also, think about it, 1 cubic meter of sandwiches, tacos, pizza and other junk food tasting great AND being perfectly healthy. Damn, now I'm hungry.

I’d say that society as we know it would collapse fairly quickly, with it being replaced by a communist or socialist system fairly quickly. Fields that require brains would be in significant demand, as food would become a non issue. Same thing would occur with other essentials, such as food and medicine. As mentioned in other comments, money would become worthless. And there would be people who would make new replicators who would have reverse engineered their replicators.

I'd replicate some of these new graphics cards that are so hard to find.

Day 1: create 264 gallons of water (probably enough for a month)

Day 2: create a cubic meter of food (also probably enough for a month)

Day 3 to next rationing: spend thinking of all the awesome things I could create but end up getting overwhelmed and doing nothing instead

Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

I’d make my own studio ghibli paintings.

Get together with your neighbor, replicate the parts of each other's replicator. Repeat this daily for a bit. Exponential growth. Give it a month or so, then just go ham and make everything you want, maybe after renting a warehouse to keep them all in.

Make something that'll EMP everyone's replicators before people start replicating nukes.

Yes the Max is the current status quo, but given the Min is almost certainly the destruction of the world, so status quo is probably the best we can hope for.

And maybe I'd make a sandwich if there's room for it along with the EMP.

I'd use it to make more replicators. Essentially have exponential replicators

Weed, alcohol, opiates, nicotine.

I can fit me in about that space, so maybe a copy of myself. We could trade off working and playing. That would double my leasure time.

Can I adjust dimensions? Like, can I replicated a car, but a tiny one that will fit in a 1x1x1m cube?

If so, I'd replicate 1/8th of the replicator, but double sized. Repeat for all other parts, assemble, and now I have a 2m³ replicator. Repeat until I have one big enough to replicate a house.

Then, the whole point of the exercise: replicate a house-sized Funyun.

Even if you didn't want to use it for money, you'd have to use it for money somehow just to keep up with the inflation.

Day 1, I replicate a replicator kit and put it together. I also contact a realtor and let them know I'm interested in buying some land. Off grid, far from cities, doesn't matter.

Day 2, I replicate two replicator kits and put them together.

Day 3, I replicate four replicator kits. I've now got eight of them. I'm not sure I'll need sixteen, at least not right away, and my basement is starting to get a bit crowded. So I'll leave it at that for the moment, but the moment I think I need more replicator capacity I can have it.

The obvious answer: Use your replicator to replicate more replicators.

The correct answer: The Young Lady's Illustrated Primer.

The clever dick corollary: 1m^3^ is actually quite a large volume, and ain't no rule says you can only replicate one object at a time. If whatever luxury item or commodity you want is small in volume, which it probably is, don't forget you can replicate a whole bunch of it within a meter cube.

The moment you try to min max the economy will fall apart. Replicate new PC parts? Cool, but now intel/AMD/Nvidia will go bankrupt, no more development. So I guess you could min-max the economical revolution. Capitalism doesn't appear to make sense in a world with near endless access to anything.

Personally I'd get heaps of food and water

I hate that by now, I have found a way for capitalist to bill you anyways.

It only takes one person to make 1 cubic meter of black hole to destroy the biosphere by ripping Earth into an acretion disc.

Clean up the streets, feed garbage into the replicator to be used as fuel/raw materials
