My favourite comment on that post was “probably transform into an invisible tiger”

Actually, I wouldn’t even be mad about it… I doubt this post would give much royalties otherwise

Depends on if you changed to the route of the first comment.

Can I turn back again?

DivineDev@piefed.social on 17 Aug 13:04 next collapse

Plenty of time for both

The first question, what would you as a blind Tiger do? The price of invisibility, you can’t project an image on a invisible retina.

GuillaumeGus@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 17 Aug 14:59 next collapse

You can still smell!

Battle_Masker@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 17 Aug 15:06 next collapse

do tigers not have whiskers like other cat-type creatures?

MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml on 17 Aug 18:40 collapse

They do, but they are vestigial organs that aren’t used any longer. Contemporary tigers use LIDAR to detect movement.

kureta@lemmy.ml on 17 Aug 16:33 collapse

Yeah, the least believable part of some human transforming into an invisible tiger at will is them being able to see while in the invisible-tiger form. Doesn’t make any physical sense…

edit: /s

Zerush@lemmy.ml on 17 Aug 21:10 collapse

A Lot of supposed Superpowers dont physical sense. Eg, capable to stop the time, a great superpower in some movies, the reallity is, you would survive it not even some seconds. If the time stops, all materia, even atoms become inmovil, means, you can’t even breath and you die frozen at 0 Kelvin before you can say “shit…”. Nice an skeleton of Andamantiom, indestructible, but the pass port to an conyinuos blood transfusuion, because of the lack of bone marrow in a metal bone. Same with most other Avengers and Superheroes which are violating any physical law. Well, maybe Batman…

I think the real super power is simply not being affected by your stoppage of time as much as it is able to stop time. 🤷‍♂️

Zerush@lemmy.ml on 17 Aug 23:07 next collapse

Wasting time of other is the most terrible superpower of some people

sbeak@sopuli.xyz on 18 Aug 02:50 collapse

Unfortunately the air molecules around you would also not be experiencing time, so you still can’t breathe.

chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 18 Aug 04:08 next collapse

I’m not a massive X-Men fan, but the adamantium skeleton is a misnomer. It coats his actual skeleton, and in one storyline is ripped off of him, and he still has a skeleton and more fragile bone claws.

He also has basically unlimited regeneration (well, there may be a limit but if there is it’s a ridiculous limit) which would definitely cover the blood thing anyway. Also the problematic park: where does all the energy/mass for his regeneration come from?

WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today on 18 Aug 04:25 collapse

You also don’t transfer as much heat, so you would actually just slowly suffocate.

Right … the same rich that are shuttering universities are gonna let that research happen.

Maybe at DARPA, but Harvard gonna be peddling “Economics 101: The Art of the Deal” and “American Lit 302: The Art of The Deal” and “Calculus 3: The Art of the Deal”.

“I Transformed Into An Invisible Tiger And Began Killing Billionaires” - A cat-and-mouse Death Note style detective anime about a college freshman communist tech nerd who miraculously gains the ability to transform into an invisible tiger and uses his leet Linux hacking skills to track down billionaire targets. At first the supernatural crimes are easy to carry out, then billionaires start to develop bunkers and defense systems against the mysterious threat. But when the killer discovers that a prodigy medical genius has acquired the same power, and intends to unveil their research on it to earn a Nobel Prize - that’s when things really start to get complicated.

The difference between science and fucking around is writing shit down, right? So let’s take notes while we, as invisible tigers, eat the rich. For posterity, if nothing else.

iii@mander.xyz on 18 Aug 06:28 collapse

The difference is also applying the scientific method.

There are more than two types. There is also the silent majority. What would they do?

I would be so happy to fuck off to somewhere, where humans won’t bother me. But first, someone is getting a very special alarm clock in the morning.

Invisibility is all about bending and absorbing light/energy. Sounds simple
