we are in america, we are slicing something precious

Stefany looked at the plasma TV; she was still paying off the installments.

Stefany: What if we cut the TV?

Stefany2: What if it multiplied... wait, and if it didn't, do you have any idea how much it's worth?

Stefany: Yes, I have installments... we have installments for another six months.

Stefany2: Okay, let's try again with something less expensive.

The first thing nearby was a chair. I cut it, same thing with the lamp, but this time I got two completely intact objects.

Stefany: Okay, I guess we can resell it on eBay...

Stefany checked her pockets; her cell phone was in her right pocket. The other one didn't seem to understand.

Stefany: You're wearing everything I was wearing before I cut myself. Check if you have a phone in your pocket too.

Stefany2 reached into her pocket, and sure enough, inside was a phone identical to the one Stefany had just pulled out.

Stefany: This is worth $600! Are our photos and contacts there?

Stefany2 checked, it was indeed the same one: photos, saved numbers, same social media, everything was identical. Suddenly, both phones vibrated when they received the same message, a post notification about kittens doing funny things on YouTube.

Stefany: Okay, if they're tuned in, I don't think we can sell it. It would be kind of complicated with all the stuff manufacturers do to prevent... you know, stuff like the same device code.

Stefany2: Okay... but does it work? We can, I don't know.

He came closer and took an apple, cut it in half, and it became two.

Stefany2: Okay, maybe it won't be expensive, but think about it, once the world's hunger is solved.

Stefany came closer and took a bite of one of the apples, it was completely normal.

Stefany: It's good, but even if chopping apples seems like an honest job, I don't think it's the right thing to do.

Steany2: Our Armani bag?

Stefany shuddered at the thought of how much that bag cost, but what if they could have had more to resell?

Stefany: Okay... do it.

They took the bag, Stefany held it, and Stefany2 tried to cut it. She did, but accidentally slipped and cut Stefany's arm.

Stefany: Hate!

A new arm immediately grew back, and from the severed arm, a third Stefany grew back.

Stefany2: ... oops? But at least we know that... you're me? Well, it just happened.

Stefany: Drop that sword, now.

Stefany2 threw the sword on the table. Playing with it was stupid, actually, even if the idea of ​​making money wasn't bad.

Stefany3 stood up and stared at them both before speaking.

Stefany3: Maybe, just maybe, we should talk about the elephant in the room?

Stefany2: You mean, how we're going to...
