I give you a printer that makes a working copy of whatever you print. What do you do?

[[.redacted]]

A mechanical exoskeleton, and an army of androids.

Then I'll go from there.

 

[thahat]

let me think, to start with astartes artificer armour would be nice.
but with a teleporter module, you know, jsut in case., and since we have no god emperor of mankind, instead of a shard of his armour, id incorporate the dagger from the prince of persia in the shoulderpad. rewinds are awsomely usefull. especially since teleporters arent the most subtle of things. ending up 2km under the ground or above it, is not my favourite hobby.

also, id make some more design improvements. like actualy have the thing easy for accessing. i dont havea bunch of servitors to dress me ( their half alive you know.. so no servitors, also, servitors freak me out. ) a nice way to hide the printer would be nice.
and some...fun stuff.. for the girldfriend, you know, to try out (a)

thats for the personal stuff.

after this stuff, simply put: oil. id buy up some far away lind, find an 'oil well' ( a fence so people dont find out about my printer ) and get ludicrously rich. since the printer can also create stuff from games, aplied flobotum rules aply. and id recruit a friend of mine who is into phisics in a big way on a university. ( you need someone to tell you what please NOT to import to make the universe TOO unpredicatbly unstabile.. )
after this, get land, manpower, factories, and unify mankind under my benevolent yet dicatorial reign. create a new religion. after unification, start mankind on a greate 'crusade' across the stars and colonise all the worlds we can find, hey people! breathing and breading space!
this will take about 20 years, then id go and create some dont let me age beyon say, 35 ish thing or cure so i can govern humankind to dominance across the stars XD

 

[thahat]

Id print off all my coursework for the next couple of years and the next set of exams im going to sit (i assume that it can print the future) failing that id print off a helicopter because a) seeing a helicopter come out of a printer would b interesting to say the least and b) can you think of a better way to travel short distances?

teleporter man, teleporter.

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

Origin's Big O

That thing can do anything.

A lightsaber too.

 

[Mr Montmorency]

I fucking hate debt, so I'd just print money.

 

[SenseOfTumour]

This means NO PORN, guys and girls .

does this mean i can print a second version of my gf?
since it would be nice having another set of hands around the house :x
OT: that or a massive safe filled with gold ... or diamonds ... or both ^^

No, but you could print out a Mr Handy bot to do everything else and free up you and your gf's time to do...other stuff

[Have you seen Sicko? It's a Michael Moore film in which he concludes by taking all those who he met during the program to the only place in the USA with free healthcare, Guantanamo Bay.

I haven't, but it sounds like they at least put healthcare in where it's most likely to be needed, I imagine lots of people have accidents, fall down the stairs, and hit their heads in that place, I doubt they even bother updating the sign that says ' [ 0 ] Days since the last workplace accident ' I think the Daily show did a piece on Hawaii, whch has healthcare, if I remember rightly, and they certainly didn't look too pissed about the government encroaching on their rights

Nothing. Alive.

Hmmm... Anything really. A top-notch computer, some amazing TVs to go around the house... Ooo, a bigger house for that matter...

In fact, I'd probably start off by printing off another one of these printers, or another 50. Efficiency FTW.

 

[drbarno]

I'll likely print of a Charizard or something, Fly everywhere.

 

[pspman45]

1. i would print a printer like this one, but let it make alive things
2. print enough money to make a 100 dollar bill pocket change
3. the wrist mounted time machine that was on the last actual episode of Doctor Who, then I'd go back in time, and play left 4 dead 2 with my past self

 

[OCAdam]

I'd be just printing out the various guns I want... and ammo for them. A portal gun as well... or two. Gravity gun too. Hmm... and a McLaren F1 with a portal to a second printer the orig printer makes that is now producing the gas needed to run the McLaren (only giving enough gas when needed of course).

 

[Tetranitrophenol]

as long as it's not alive. This means NO PORN, guys and girls .

That's what tipped me off...

 

[thenumberthirteen]

Another printer. That way I can sell them and ruin the economy. It could help the third world though, but I doubt it will. From what I've seen even though we have loads of food and money very little gets spread around.

 

[EboMan7x]

I assume that if I print money the serial number will always be the same, so diamonds and jewelery and such.

 

[Something Amyss]

An Imperial Star Destroyer.

Maybe a Death Star.

 

[dvd_72]

Mmmh... standard money/food not included... a working 360, a PS3, a copy of Dantes coat from the first devil may cry, a working teleporter and something to enhance speed, strength and mental capabilities, likely some kind of drug. That should do for now at least, at least for myself

 

[Doktor Sleepless]

Summer Glau. You said it wouldn't print anything ALIVE, and I'm OK with that

But yeah I'd print out an arc reactor, along with blueprints.

 

[Aitur]

I'd print out the universe, just to see what'd happen when the universe suddenly appears inside itself.
Although assuming that fails due to the wrong paper size or not enough ink I'd print the sun, beats trying to heat my apartment with a little electric heater.

 

[niege]

Portal Gun or The Normandy with Jeff as my personal driver.
