The Bookworm Challenge discussion

I like to ponder this question on my spare time - What would you do if you were invisible?

I think I would just listen to other people's conversations.

Probably get run over by a car.

I would observe animals in the wild, assuming that I was also scent-invisible... Am I over-thinking this one?

Oooh, nice idea, Stephanie! Yeah, you'd definitely have to be scentless, too, and very good at being still and quiet. But it would help.

Maybe I'd just use it to vanish when everyone is looking for me to fix dinner.

You would also save a lot of money not having to buy clothes.

Or would you want to have clothes so people COULD see you and also to keep you warm and protect your feet, etc...?

I think I would also play tricks on people and spy on my kids.

Yes, I was wondering about the logistics. Would your clothes be invisible too? Or would you have to strip down to avoid being seen? And do invisible people get cold?

Wow, didn't even think about not wearing clothes! I'm still stuck in a 10 year old brain. I used to think about this question when I was a kid, as I would fall asleep at night. Back then I envisioned myself going to the corner store and taking a bunch of candy without being seen.

Really? You didn't ever even get to the 14-year-old brain that uses invisibility to visit the girls' locker room?

No comment.

Oooo the possibilities are endless but I would defintiely get up to mischief and use my invisibility to scare people...but in a nice way...mostly!

This greatly depends on the nature of the invisibility. Is it innate ability or is it an item that renders one invisible? If it is my person alone that is invisible and not my clothing or gear, then the answer would be drastically different than otherwise - I'd probably just visit nude beaches and sneak into movies and museums without paying. If there is some item that renders me and my gear invisible (magic ring or cloak, techno-gadgetry) - then I'd probably go into covert ops, bounty hunting, maybe rob a criminal enterprise or two.

How has nobody said "i would just watch you in your room" lol??

Id probably hjust go wandering into all the places youre not supposed to. Or stay late in museums and such!
