Doesn't anybody else want to use their amazing new powers for the good of humanity?

I can't see how you could use invisibility for the good of humanity, if I had healing powers as well I'd sneak into hospitals at night and cure people.

Bullet Magnet 10-26-2009 01:28 PM

The laws of physics have been broken for you. If you can't think of a good way to use that, find a sidekick who can.

shaman 10-26-2009 01:29 PM

If i had healing powers i'd place my hands on the ground and reverse deforestation...

The moral highground is mine.

The power of anonymity can only be destructive, didn't you learn anything from the internet?

Bullet Magnet 10-26-2009 01:34 PM

I'd use it the same way it can be used on the Internet: infiltration for the purposes of study and documentation. I myself have naturalism in mind. I'd get into the BBC's Life... team.

MeechMunchie 10-26-2009 02:24 PM

It's on now. I can see it out of the corner of my eyes. Some cyotes are howling to their cute puppies.

MA 10-26-2009 02:28 PM

BM stop sneaking around the coyotes pups. they can smell you, doesn't matter if you're invisible.

MeechMunchie 10-26-2009 02:34 PM

Now it's scorpion vs. meerkat.

Josh 10-27-2009 03:42 AM

I have a list of things to steal:
HDTV
Fallout 3 game of the year edition
Another HDTV
A new PC
A laptop
Lots and lots of Coca Cola.

Sekto Springs 10-27-2009 09:15 AM

I'm with MA, fuck humanity. Humanity is an unstoppable virus, and no matter how many wars or bouts of mass plague we endure, we always fucking bounce back. We need something supernatural that nobody saw coming to really fuxxor the equilibrium.

Invisibility, going Super Saiyan, being so large and strong that the earth explodes every time you take a step, Akira explosion. All of these sound good.

You just gotta rape shake things up a little.

Bullet Magnet 10-27-2009 11:48 AM

Of course, being invisible necessarily goes hand in hand with being blind, since light must be passing just as easily through your retinas as the rest of your body. Even if it didn't, they would cast a shadow and therefore be visible, and also you would still see nothing unless your lenses and corneas could also refract light in their normal capacity, increasing the likelihood of being seen.

shaman 10-27-2009 11:56 AM

Alright fine, if you're going to be all technical about it, we'll do this.

When you go invisible, you go blind.

However due to mother natures sencse of humour, whenever you activate your invisibilty you also begin to activate your eye - mounted sonar, sending out sound and receiving it back and using a super sensative node concealed in your head to paint a mental image with preternatural accuracy in your mind. Now stop talking about invisibility causing blindness, it screws with the fun of it.

Assholes. :)

...being invisible necessarily goes hand in hand with being blind...

Spoiler,

Anywhoo, I think I would use my power of invisibility to:

Check out Holly Willoughby getting changed...yummy.
Go up to Harry potter and slap him whilst saying, "I don't need some pansy cloak".
(this only works if the invisibility also makes your clothes invisible) walk around the street naked.
Fuck with pious people to make them think that their God(s) doesn't love them.

These are a few examples of what I would do.

If I was invisible I would be blind because light would go straight through my eyes.

Somehow it seems more important when BM says it.

You need to carve your way into my niche first if you want to compete.

T-nex 10-28-2009 12:32 PM

I liked it when MeechMunchie said it though :) It made me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Wings of Fire 10-28-2009 12:33 PM

Oddey 11-10-2009 06:05 AM

Screw being blind. If I turned blind when I went invisible, if I could, I wouldn't want to ever be invisible.

Now about what I would do, if I didn't trun blind.
Act like the spy from Team Fortress 2.
Scare people in public places.
Make myself invisible during the breaks at school and hide my classmate's things.
Pull people's pants down.
Drop bugs down people's necks.
Tickle people.
Do an evil laugh whenever someone is alone.

And this is how I would act if I could make other things invisible as well:
Take a camera and film the things you can only film when nothing can see you.

Crashpunk 11-11-2009 09:24 AM

If i was invisible. i would...
Steal things
Scare people to death
Kill people
Hide somewere after the last one.
Act like the Spy of TF2
Watch the girls i fancy :tard:
Make 'Most Haunted' REAL!
Spy on OWI

Unless you have a time machine, there's not a whole lot to spy on.

The invisibility would likely hamper your icon status.

MeechMunchie 11-11-2009 12:26 PM

He could spray himself with spray paint, and become the only graffiti artist to look like his self-portraits.

Disgruntled Intern 11-11-2009 12:36 PM

That would take some mighty fine can-control.

Sekto Springs 11-11-2009 02:50 PM

Yeah, invisible or not you deserve the status for that alone.

Didn't hurt Banksy's career.

Disgruntled Intern 11-11-2009 05:25 PM

Fair enough. But Banksy is a fluke.

Nate 11-11-2009 05:42 PM

Anyone who manages to be successful/famous in the art world is a fluke.

Or a sell-out.

Nate 11-11-2009 06:24 PM

Even the sell-outs would need to be lucky.

Sekto Springs 11-11-2009 06:29 PM

Or have a famous art-dealer girlfriend *cough*JACKSONPOLLOCK *cough*

Disgruntled Intern 11-11-2009 08:45 PM

Don't get me started on Pollock.

As far as all successful artists being flukes, I disagree. I was referring more to Banksy's success based on his anonymity rather than his talent level. Of course, having grown up on the wrong side of the pond, and only being able to appreciate his work in museums/gallery showings/publications rather than various street corners and bridges, I'm a bit biased in that regard.

Although I am a rather large fan of Shepherd Fairey, who although completely different, I feel is still comparable.

Anywho, for the most part, I consider success in the art world to be based more on timing than talent. Of course, with the introduction of the internet, the odds are stacked in the artists favor.

No, please. I would love to hear what you have to say about him. We can compare notes.

Kids, to put things in perspective, do a search on Deviantart by "most popular".

Disgruntled Intern 11-11-2009 10:31 PM

You also have to look at guys like Greg Simkins, Alex Pardee and Jeff Soto, who, without the internet, probably wouldn't have been as successful.
