Really depends on a few things.

If it's like I turn into an invisible anthro tiger without limitations on how long I get to be transformed, probably do something extremely dumb like robbing a bank.

If it's just a normal tiger that's invisible, but without limits on how long and I'm in full control, no idea.

[–] TaeKwonDoh@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Eat the rich.

[–] yyprum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day 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.

[–] Xaphanos@lemmy.world 49 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Visit the white house. Then the congress.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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

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

Same. And then retire to the woods.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days 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 21 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Then take a nap in the sun

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

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

[–] kayzeekayzee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 days 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 2 days ago (2 children)

2 chicks at the same time.

[–] showmeyourkizinti@startrek.website 3 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 5 points 1 day ago

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

[–] hedge_lord@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 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 12 hours 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 1 points 3 hours 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!

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

can you also eat the ones that ate my beets last year?

[–] hedge_lord@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I will keep eating deer until I am a very round invisible tiger indeed! All deer are bastards (ADAB)

[–] twice_hatch@midwest.social 1 points 1 day ago

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

[–] 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 1 day ago (1 children)

No one said you could transform back...

[–] krunklom@lemmy.zip 1 points 17 hours ago

I never said I would.

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

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

[–] SethranKada@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 days 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.

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

[–] Olkiss@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

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

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.

[–] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 1 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Ticks, you bet. Rainforests have massive biodiversity, and that includes the parasites. There's even terrestrial leeches that will latch on to you!

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

I would fight crime and injustice

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

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

I would chill tf out

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days 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 8 points 2 days ago

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

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

thats oddly specific.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 days ago

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