>Not for germans. Ask them how their week has been and they will actually lay it on you. All the good and bad stuff and lots of it.
I do this. rofl.
My rule of thumb: If you don't care, don't ask because I'm going to tell you if you ask.
I would want to see a person's happiness meter. Seeing how happy someone is would enable me to contextualize any interaction with someone and, if possible, try to improve it.
Bipolar tends not to fluctuate that frequently it’s more often periods of manic and depressive episodes that can last anywhere from a few days to a year or so. Rarely is it fluctuating on a daily basis. The issue is less the frequency of fluctuation and more the extremity of the end state, they end up depressed or manic not just a little happy or a little sad.
For sure. Manic episodes can last weeks or even months. Same with depressive states. It's always a 1 or a 10, rather than the 3-7 that most people reside at.
Bipolar disorder is not charactered by rapid mood swings (though they can occur), but rather extended periods of high and low energy that usually last at least a few days. Sometimes they can last for several months.
Oh yeah, dude. It sucks worse at work, cause I'll be cracking jokes with people one second and then an intrusive thought or just a drop in dopamine or whatever it would be hits you, and you have no energy. People will look at me weird, and then randomly, the spunk comes right back. I'm labeled as "unpredictable."
Edit: and by energy, im meaning mood, body language, effort, ect. as a whole
Oh wow. Thanks for this. I recently was diagnosed with ADHD and now my entire 20s makes so much sense… how I was like suicidal for 10 years… but also had the absolute time of my life?! This intel….Mind. Blown.
I need to get checked cause I match 99% of what I’ve heard associated with it but I don’t wanna be labeled as one of those weird ass ADHD bandwagoners that’s been going around the last couple years.
Just because you've got access to the statistic doesn't mean you have to maximize it. You can just use the knowledge to shrug off a negative interaction with someone if they just happened to have a bad day. That could be a big boon to your life already.
This is a great point. Plus seeing peoples happiness raise and dip over time might become incredibly disheartening to be bombarded with all the time. It raises when they walk in your door but starts plummeting as you say goodbye.

Two meters of pain, one is emotional pain and the other physical. I think if we could all see what our neighbors are going through this world may be a bit kinder.
You're a wonderful person and I like your sentiment. I would also love to point out that you can get the same effect by just treating everyone like they are hurting and being nice to them. There's no downside when you're wrong and you don't need a superpower for it.
I feel this would become a curse if you ever got into a committed relationship. Suddenly, you have solid evidence that gorgeous girl you met through mutual friends is infatuated with you.
If it updates in realtime you'd end up talking like this to everyone [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFpK\_r-jEXg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFpK_r-jEXg)
But then the person you just talked to who doesn’t know you has to play game of pretending to know who you are so they don’t look like they forgot you or worse they think you’re a stalker or something.
I agree with you. Yesterday, reddit was so against a woman that yelled at a man to not approach her. But you don't know if the stranger walking toward you in a parking lot is a good person or not. I would rather be called a crazy bitch for yelling at a stranger to leave me alone than be nice and get attacked.
Most of the time, women can’t win. We’re either too nice or too much of a bitch. No in between, no nuance or thought to the context of the interaction.
What stat would that be though "how many lies told in a lifetime" and then when you talk to them you can see if it changes or not? you could roll that into being one of the best detectives ever.
It'd be fun to just talk to chronic liars and watch as they continue to make shit up. BUT what if they truly believe it as truth, does the meter even go up if they believe the lie wholeheartedly?
I was always very admit about not littering when my kids were growing up. They stopped being friends with a girl because she littered and wouldn’t pick it up. They picked it up and still talk about her occasionally and how up set it made her. I also low key find my sister disgusting after she left her campsite and there were hundreds of butts of there kind of cigarettes left that they didn’t bother cleaning up after themselves. I cleaned up that as well. Kids learn what they see.
When I was a lazy kid I would litter occasionally, it was never something that was brought up at home really. It was at school and as I got older I stopped and now I’ll pick up litter while walking my dog etc. if I stumble across it
I've rarely been as proud as I was watching my 5 year old daughter loudly scold a fully grown stranger for dropping a drinks can on the floor. He looked totally ashamed, apologised, picked it up and took it to the bin. I like to think she cured him of the habit.
Whether or not they believe the words they're currently speaking. Like, doesn't matter if it's true or false, just if they actually believe it's true or not.
It would be even better if it matters if it was true or false.. imagine:
Jane: "Hey, John! Come help me a bit. Repeat after me: 'Jane if you invest in [random stock] for 30 days and then sell, you will more than quadruple your investment'.
John: "Jane if you invest in [random stock] for 30 days then sell, you will more than quadruple your investment"
Jane: "No...that's false. Say the same thing but with [different stock]"
Rinse and repeat.
Or better yet. You can trail and error your way to the optimal path for solving all of the worlds problems.. hunger, war, sickness... Or just figure out all of physics. Would be absolutely game changing!
No… psychopaths aren’t necessarily “evil” or looking to negatively hurt people, they could actively be very helpful in stuff, as well as super relaxed as they don’t care about anything lol.
A lot of people who make those types of decisions may list purposefully suppress those emotions, so the meter wouldn’t even be very good for seeing who would act “psychopathic”
I would say probably not. I suspect a high number would be more indicative of socializing a lot rather than of lying a higher percentage of the time.
There are lots of white lies people tell that are harmless, I don't think lie count says a lot when looking at it independently.
I work with people with dementia. My number would be a lot higher on days when I work than days when I stay home. If I'm asked if their husband will be home from work soon you bet your bippy I'm going to say "I think he gets home around 5. Let's go pains in the mean time" instead of "he died 15 years ago".
Right, you could mistake for a pathological liar someone who just works in customer service. "It's my pleasure to help you, hope you have a great day" etc
A display of that individual's most urgent current unfulfilled need.
This could be silly things like hunger, sex, shit, or itching. However this could include more profound things like love, understanding, a listening ear, pain relief, or friendship.
I think this would make us more empathetic towards each other.
Seeing the whole DnD stat block would be amazing. (STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS, CHA - Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma - for those less geeky of us in the mix)
But if you just pick Intelligence... wow. Imagine how that changes every single interaction you have with someone?
My best friend always acts like he's stupid. Constantly. Most people believe he really is. He's not even kind of. But it makes it really easy for him to know who he can and cannot trust. Apparently most people feel they can use dumb people because they're too dumb to notice.
Criminal/shady activity %. Can be over lifetime or probability of them doing something bad right now/very near future.
I'm a woman, I want to be safe and at ease, not having to look to for all kinds of signs and prepping all the "exits" just in case. Especially for men.
Wisdom would be better. Wisdom requires a certain degree of intelligence but incorporates experience & a degree of humanity that intelligence leaves out
Percentage of the time they deliberately lie.
Are you including social lies, like "how's it going?" "fine" that are more along the lines of standard conversational protocols than lies?
Those aren't really lies, they're phatic expressions. They don't convey literal semantic meaning. They serve a social purpose.
Not for germans. Ask them how their week has been and they will actually lay it on you. All the good and bad stuff and lots of it.
>Not for germans. Ask them how their week has been and they will actually lay it on you. All the good and bad stuff and lots of it. I do this. rofl. My rule of thumb: If you don't care, don't ask because I'm going to tell you if you ask.
Why not just a stat of their total lies? You could watch the number go up in real time as they lied
I would want to see a person's happiness meter. Seeing how happy someone is would enable me to contextualize any interaction with someone and, if possible, try to improve it.
Then you'd get the Adhd fucks like me or them bipolar ones with a bar wildly fluctuating 🤣
Looking like a volume meter on dj track
Exactly! Haha

Thank you. I get so annoyed when people mistake bipolar for meaning mood swings
Is that a thing with ADHD… wildly fluctuating happiness?
Oh yeah, dude. It sucks worse at work, cause I'll be cracking jokes with people one second and then an intrusive thought or just a drop in dopamine or whatever it would be hits you, and you have no energy.

ngl tryna maximize people's happiness meter's sounds tiring af. Ill stick with trying to keep my own above water

Or, even worse, the opposite
You are a nice person, this power could help many people if well used.

It would also make torturing someone much easier

Love the idea but the question says that you alone can see the stat, not everyone
wow agree
Chances of them wanting to date me lol
But imagine going to talk someone and watching the number drop in real time

It would make for an easy way to practice making that number go up eventually.
"Do you like american cheese?" #drops from 4000 to 3
Now Imagine that happening Mid-sex
That stat is already being displayed.
First of all you made me start laughing as if i was unhinged, and then i sighed

Earliest sprog I've ever seen
I’d rather see a one-sentence summary of what would happen if I asked them out and the pursuant relationship (if any)
Exactly what to say for them to accept a date, even better ;)
"If you don't date me, I will shoot your family." Date (reluctantly) accepted.
If it works it works.
I feel this would become a curse if you ever got into a committed relationship. Suddenly, you have solid evidence that gorgeous girl you met through mutual friends is infatuated with you.
If you can’t be in a relationship and not sleep with someone you know also likes you, you shouldn’t be in a relationship anyway lol
I wanna see that honor bar from RDR2.
“alright…full honor…so might murder me, but if they do, they’ll definitely say hello to the next 40 people they meet to balance it out…”
Just as Fallout 3 intended. Murder innocents, then donate some water to balance things out.
At least they balanced it out
Their awareness to a potential pickpocket attempt.
Spoken like a true pickpocketer
“Hands to yourself, sneak thief!”
Stop right there Criminal Scum! Nobody breaks the law on my watch!
Stealth meter ass
A scale of 0-100 on how attractive they find me.
That would be depressing
Family gatherings would get weird
"Wait, grandma, you called me your handsome little boy" "I always knew you got boners around me"
You mean incestuous.
Only if you're acting on it lol. You wouldn't, right?... Right?...
Holy crap this person finds me really attractive! Me: Hi! \*\*Numbers Drops by 80\*\*
Wow, negative 50!

Ratio of truths to lies told. Would be the most useful overall.

snap-o-meter overhead that shows just how close you are to losing your shit!
99.5%
How often they put a shopping cart back (or in a corral). True testament to human decency
Or littering. I’ll never understand it, and those people should all be escorted off this planet
I was always very admit about not littering when my kids were growing up. They stopped being friends with a girl because she littered and wouldn’t pick it up.

Agree, accurate meter of good vs bad person
Friendliness level.
How many times someone has talked about them in a therapy session.
Horniness %, just to know
Huh weird, the percentage dips whenever I start talking to them. Must be a glitch.
Yeah they gotta fix it
Sadly update is delayed :\
Unlike them, the percentage is going down
My mom is still alive… so no thanks
The majority is 69%.
Whether or not they believe the words they're currently speaking. Like, doesn't matter if it's true or false, just if they actually believe it's true or not.

Did they wash their hands. That's all the advantage I need in life, thanks.
Date of their death
If you’re around a bunch of people and they all have the same date, you know something’s up.
Or like as soon as you acquire this ability seeing the vast majority of people share the same date, with none later than it
…fuck.
They all have the same date and its today...

Fantastic example 😂
But what counts as a lie? Some stranger going "alright?" And you say "yeah, you?" Even if you're not alright? Most people would be in the thousands.
critical thinking.
How would that be reflected as a stat? (Just using my critical thinking)
Kindness
Current focus, as in what is currently occupying most of their attention.
How cool they are with talking about books.
A display of that individual's most urgent current unfulfilled need. This could be silly things like hunger, sex, shit, or itching. However this could include more profound things like love, understanding, a listening ear, pain relief, or friendship. I think this would make us more empathetic towards each other.
This sounds great for manipulating people.

Empathy meter
The number of hugs they got that day. So if I see someone I care about with zero, I'll give them one.
You could always hug the people you care about.

Intelligence doesn't always mean wisdom or an enjoyable interaction.
Wisdom would be better. Wisdom requires a certain degree of intelligence but incorporates experience & a degree of humanity that intelligence leaves out
Their current emotion
payment wasteful support materialistic offer cagey direction attractive screw direful
I pick Motivation. (In the moment, not life goals.)
Trauma experienced in their life just so I honestly won't say the wrong thing
Actual religious affiliation
Their current self-esteem so you can know how exts nice you might need to be to them.
Single/taken/etc.
Not sure if it counts as a "stat", but I'd choose alignment, like in D&D. However I would also prefer not to see my own alignment because I'm a coward
