Visit the white house. Then the congress.

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Same. And then retire to the woods.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

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

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

[–] everett@lemmy.ml 43 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'd probably transform into an invisible tiger.

[–] kayzeekayzee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Then take a nap in the sun

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago (8 children)

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

[–] kayzeekayzee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

Very good point, choosing an appropriate surface would become very important.

[–] Klear@quokk.au 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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 month ago (2 children)

2 chicks at the same time.

...fuckin A.

[–] showmeyourkizinti@startrek.website 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago

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

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

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

[–] SethranKada@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 month 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.

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Omg you'd be so Apex.

[–] HuntressHimbo@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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

As an invisible tiger, you ARE the PPE.

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

Pounce on Calvin every single time.

[–] TaeKwonDoh@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Eat the rich.

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

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

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] hedge_lord@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

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.

[–] dogs0n@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But was your name clearly marked on said tomatoes? Let's not jump to conclusions here, maybe the deer thought the tomatoes were his by accident (because he can't write, so his tomatoes have no name).

[–] hedge_lord@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah he can't read but he's rich enough to hire good lawyers. Deer bought my home and now I have to pay rent to them. Taking my tomatoes and half my income, what a jerk!

Worry that being invisible did not make me invincible. Getting hit by a car or bullets or such would still kill me. I'd still make noise stepping on twigs and have a wake trying to swim a stream, so I'd have to keep being stealthy. Presumably, I'd still smell like a tiger and send prey fleeing. If I did catch prey, their blood would be visible on my claw and teeth, wouldn't it? Would the chunks of flesh I eat stay visible as I gulp them down or would my invisibility mask them once they were inside me? If someone shot me as I mangled their their livestock, would my bleeding wound leave a blood spoor for hunters to follow?

All and all, I would try my best to be a silent hunter in unpopulated areas. Trying to move through city sidewalks would surely lead to my capture.

Eat Jeff Bezos

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

[–] Olkiss@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (4 children)

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

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.

thats oddly specific.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago

Take a nap then start working to fuck off and vanish from the rest of the world before i get found and buried in a lab somewhere.

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

We won't see.

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

I would chill tf out
