What would you do with a Slaver stasis box?

Suppose Slaver stasis boxes (TAS: "The Slaver Weapon") really existed. What would you do with one?

I can't think of many applications at the moment, but I'd probably use it to store highly perishable food. :D
 
I can't find what the specific dimensions of those boxes were, and it makes a difference, because if it is big enough, my answer might be to clean up on some long-term investments. If it is the size I believe it to be, I'd probably be using it for a variant of your purpose: to get the kind of Cashew Chicken that can only be found in Springfield, Missouri (and within about 90 miles around there) down here to where I live in South Carolina. :D
 
It would replace my safe. I don't keep any money or jewels in it but I keep all my flash drives in it as well as important paperwork and pictures. My safe is fireproof but not waterproof. I think the slaver box would be the safest place for all my documents.
 
Slaver stasis boxes come in various sizes, IIRC. I'd fill it with tv execs that said no the new sci-fi shows or canceled them. Then I'd launch it at the sun.
 
If I had had one around 2004, I would have stuffed it with as many bottles of Pepsi Blue as it would hold.

I really miss Pepsi Blue. :(

Couldn't you just use a regular box and a hammer to knock them out with?
 
I'd do what they did in Ringworld: Put a ship inside of it, and have it automatically activate when in imminent danger - virtual starship immortality (with time skips of a few billion years should one fall into a sun or something)

You'll be buying more of them and doing that a million times, since there are millions more of them than there are of sci-fi fans. And hundreds of them graduate from school every year.

If sci-fi fans want to make a change, they have to start getting involved in the industry by becoming executives at entertainment companies and also by becoming film and TV directors/writers/producers. Then, we'll see more sci-fi shows on TV.

As for what I want in said box, I'll put in anything important that I wanted to last a long time, like the Zip disks containing the copies of the websites I've surfed that I should have made back in the late '90s.
