Visit the white house. Then the congress.

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

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

Same. And then retire to the woods.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months 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 2 months ago (2 children)

I'd probably transform into an invisible tiger.

[–] kayzeekayzee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Then take a nap in the sun

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 months ago (8 children)

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

[–] kayzeekayzee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

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

[–] Klear@quokk.au 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 2 months ago (2 children)

2 chicks at the same time.

...fuckin A.

[–] showmeyourkizinti@startrek.website 3 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

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

[–] GlenRambo@jlai.lu 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 6 points 2 months ago

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

[–] SethranKada@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

Omg you'd be so Apex.

As an invisible tiger, you ARE the PPE.

[–] HuntressHimbo@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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

[–] TaeKwonDoh@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Eat the rich.

[–] fubarx@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Pounce on Calvin every single time.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 6 points 2 months 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 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (4 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.

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

[–] memfree@piefed.social 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Olkiss@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months 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.

We won't see.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 months 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.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 2 months ago

thats oddly specific.

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago

I would chill tf out

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Eat an invisible antelope

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

I will go summit the Everest.
