Eat the rich.

[–] yyprum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 hours ago

Like transform back and forth under my control? Study the physics of matter transformation and invisibility, maybe earn a Nobel prize in the process.

[–] twice_hatch@midwest.social 1 points 10 hours ago

Not kill anyone in my town, that's for sure. I've read the Gwern Death Note post

[–] hedge_lord@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

I'd go outside and eat the deer that ate my tomatoes. I'd be doing the universe a favor. Nothing behind those eyes but hunger and hatred for all life. Eat my tomatoes I eat you. Tomato-eating bastards agh fuck you.

[–] krunklom@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'd find terrible, horrible people, and just like, tiger my way into their house and fuck shit up, like, take a dump on their bed, smash their tv, etc. and then I'd go invisible, wait for the police to show up, do their thing, and start the process over again until they lost their minds.

I would also rob banks though to keep it balanced.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

No one said you could transform back...

[–] Xaphanos@lemmy.world 46 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Visit the white house. Then the congress.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

I'd be pretty worried about getting caught anyway. A tiger is not small and a tiger killing somebody is not quiet, clean and subtle. Unless this is a suicide mission; having invisibility in a world where nobody's expecting it could probably get you in a room with anyone.

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Immediate thought was, “I can think of one guy I’d definitely maul.”

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Same. And then retire to the woods.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

I would imagine a few more places that I would pay a visit to...

I'd probably transform into an invisible tiger.

[–] kayzeekayzee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Then take a nap in the sun

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago (8 children)

If light passes through you would the sun still warm you?

[–] kayzeekayzee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You'd still get warm via conduction from the heated surface below you, but that's a neat thought

Depends if you're science-invisible (in which case you might be blind) or magic-invisible. Bilbo was still casting a shadow with the One Ring on, so he could sit in the sun while invisible, if he wasn't engulfed in a fucked-up shadow world while doing it. That probably messes things up a bit.

This really is the best answer.

[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 36 points 1 day ago (2 children)

2 chicks at the same time.

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

...fuckin A.

[–] showmeyourkizinti@startrek.website 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not all women are in to a guy just because he can turn in an invisible tiger.

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 22 hours ago

Willing to bet at least two are though and that's all it takes

[–] Mutterwitz@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 day ago

We won't see.

[–] GlenRambo@jlai.lu 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 6 points 1 day ago

Also probably do that stretchy leg thing and forget to put it down shortly afterwards.

[–] fubarx@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Pounce on Calvin every single time.

[–] Olkiss@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I would be in the jungle and enjoying life as a tiger.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Hmm. You really wouldn't miss anything? There's more risk if you're visible, but you could theoretically live as a human poacher or forager in some remote place.

[–] Olkiss@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Well... If you insist. 😀 I think I would miss the comfort of a clean house (no insects, no fleas, no ticks- I assume there are ticks in the jungle.) If I keep thinking like a human.

I would chill tf out

[–] SethranKada@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What an odd question. I would, of course, become feral immediately and find a forest to live the rest of my days in.

As an invisible tiger, you ARE the PPE.

[–] HuntressHimbo@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Is the tiger always invisible or just when you want it to be? I'm thinking pranking a friend in the shower, but I think it would be more fun with a visual component

[–] RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.works 1 points 23 hours ago

Find dog owners to don't pick up and leave a large load on their lawn.

[–] floo@retrolemmy.com 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I would fight crime and injustice

thats oddly specific.

[–] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

I will go summit the Everest.

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, it would fucking suck. Being invisible means light passes through the retinas and would not be absorbed by photoreceptor cells, making me completely blind. I guess I would try to go somewhere quiet so I could listen out. Being blind would be a death sentence in the wild. My only hope is to get picked up by a zoo or rehab center that actually cares for the animals.

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

No, its magic not scientific. You can see, but you can't be seen.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Eat some faces and never be caught because I'm invisible.

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I misread that as "eat some feces" at first, but either way I guess you do you.

Bump into someone every once in a while, watch as confusion spreads.
