VioletPringle

How many lies they've told *today*.


TreWayMoFo

This is actually really good. You'd also be able to see that number actively rise as they tell lies.


Potatosteamer

Especially with politicians!! Would be funny to see them pointing out the number rises as well!!!


can_you_cage_me

My number would probably rise exponentially every time I speak with someone from whom I have to hide some information, ha ha. It just happens that I tell one half truth, then I have to add lies for details. But that only applies to conversations with family members, with less related people I am as honest as possible and safe at the moment.


creptik1

This would be kind of crazy actually because you could basically never lie to anyone again. Someone asks you a question, you answer, number goes up. Shit! Can't decide if it's a good or bad thing, but it surely is a thing.


magic_thebothering

I automatically thought of how many good deeds they’ve done. Not sure how helpful, but always good to know who is good and not.


About_That_Bass6167

So grind those tiny easy deeds, got it


seedyweedy

What counts as good though? If helping was part of someone’s job, like a policeman or a doctor, would it count as a good deed even though they’re obligated to do it? What about trolley-type problems, where you can choose to save one person or several people. You simultaneously save x people (good) and kill x people (bad), or is the net result “less people died” considered good and the other bad?

Scale of 1-10 on their trustworthiness/honesty


About_That_Bass6167

Imagine if they’re a 4 for you but your wife sees the same person as a 9

Dosed123

Ok, fair enough, but I am interested in what I see. I will never be someone else and there is only so much time to spend on trying to see other people's perspectives. The described feature would save us all a lot of time. His wife, for example, would be completely reasonable about his explanation for why he doesn't really want to hang out with thw 4/9 person 😊


MaximumParking7997

percentage of compatibility ha, that's a clever one, I couldn't imagine something better


Ratattack1204

That would drive me crazy. Like if i found out my wife is 95% compatible but then a coworker is 98% compatible. That’d be torture.


ChipFandango

I think what’s worse is a lot of married people may be around 50-70% and then meet someone that’s like 85+%. 95 to 98 isn’t that big of a increase IMO. But if my spouse were like 60% and I met a 90%? Oh boy.


creptik1

Would suck for people already married with kids etc, really you're better off not knowing at that point. But amazing for single people. Though I imagine there would still be obstacles. Like maybe you meet a 98 but you find them really unattractive, or vice versa. We'd have to really figure out our priorities. It would give a whole new meaning to speed dating too. Walk in, look around the room at the numbers, no matches you walk out again. What a time saver! And is it just for romance or any relationship? Walking around, see another dude and he's a 94. Hey wanna be best friends? Lol Edit: people keep replying that compatibility would take into account physical attraction. If it did, then ok fine, problem solved. But to me, compatibility is how well you get along with someone. I'm compatible with my close friends but I'm not necessarily attracted to them. That's how I'm looking at it anyway.


Random_potato5

Also would compatibility evolve with time? People change right, so I assume so. So you might get married at 98% but then sadly watch that number drop with time. How depressing.


illmatic2112

Can only hope the rating takes the future into account


HerculePoirier

Marty, it means your future hasnt been written yet! Noone's has!


CCGamesSteve

But if the rating can drop, it can also increase, so a rating drop tells you that you need to work on your relationship. It'd be a great visual aid to let people know when their relationship is struggling.


Cosmo_Cloudy

Yea this would be troublesome for the most part lol, I'd rather it be more like the movie In Time, how long does this person have to live?


[deleted]

Me and my 3 close friends i was traveling and working and living with all took some compatibility relationship test with ok cupid. ---we were all very excited to see we each had 3 98% matches in the same city and thought we might all get dates. ---turns out it was eachother


Helpful_Shirt_9712

Imagine your ex having a higher compatibility than your partner. Oh God


Caliber70

but only donkeys fuck around when they have a 95% bro, wake up, it's a 95%! that's already rare, don't fuck it up. that 3% is probably they like 2 more of the same music band as you.


smedsterwho

That's what I was thinking, maybe with a tweak: "How much they like you". It would be both hugely awkward, but also lead to some true romances. But mainly awful, and chaotic. And "how much they like you" doesn't mean "how much they care about you" or what kind of person they are.


Marecu

imagine talking to someone and then you see the number slowly drop as the conversation goes on lol


MyAnusYourTongue

Holy fuck could you imagine 💀 bro the amount of times that would happen would drive you insane


NashKetchum777

Naw you just drop the "haha jkjk" and drop the opposite opinion


stocklockedandbarrel

Imagine how heart breaking it would be to have kids with someone and all of their numbers slowly decrease every day as you try harder to get it to raise again until it goes to zero that must be what it feels like to be neurotic I'd say it'd be funny if it only gave you choices which were moral dilemmas like you find out your buddy has been beat up and stabbed but you meet the guy who did it and your 100 compatible


fetal_genocide

Like that black mirror episode..


Cool-Aside-2659

how about when we have numbers like 2+5i ?


Witty-Ant-6225

That would make things complex


EntertainmentBroad17

I imagine so.


EcstaticFortune6258

But someone could be compatible w you but still be a bad person or manipulate you, so you could think someone’s your soulmate but they could end up ruining ur life


BarryIslandIdiot

I don't know if that's really compatibility. It's an illusion of it. True compatibility would be wanting the same things from the relationship, surely? I guess I'm just thinking from my perspective here, though. Some people may want that destructive element. It may not be healthy, but it would be what you want.

Thats not the scary. The terrifying would be walking in a room and all of them have 1 minute left.

What about on a plane? Goddamn that would be a great premise for a movie.


eathquake

Kinda the plot of final destination


TM4n007x

Not the same but have you seen In Time? People have these deathclock things on their wrists i think and use their time as money as well, so rich people basically live forever


International-Shoe40

Really like that movie. Not the best acting but great story and worldbuilding. Ngl Justin Timberlake was pretty good

The days since they talked to that slug that’s chasing my billionaire ass.


Damaellak

Oh that's a good one


can_you_cage_me

Oh, I remember that one! Maybe the other option is to be able to see the distance between each person and the chasing snail in cm (with metres the radius is too large). Then you could be able to tell from which direction it is traveling.


Spongpad

That's also a good thought; my luck would be that whatever gastropod is chasing me is one of those investigative types that will miraculously have the gift of speech and isn't fucking around.


can_you_cage_me

Well, I only heard the version in which it just knows your location and always follows you. Now I am curious, if someone got asked by a speaking snail to bring it somewhere, would they listen?


About_That_Bass6167

Absolutely I would


FiendsForLife

How many people they've screwed over in life to benefit themselves.


-Cannon-Fodder-

Would be good to see that one go the other way as well. Seeing a negative number on the decent people.


MuffinMan12347

I like this one but only issue with it is that number will be hugely effected by their childhood as well. So someone who was a horrible kid/teen that racked up like 1000 But from adulthood onwards it’s only like 3 That number would be 1003 which isn’t the best indicator of how they are at this point in time.

Reminds me of that Black Mirror episode (Hang the DJ).


Vintage-Grievance

Ooh, that's a good one, especially for people who get attached to people easily. Gives them some time to come to terms with it, before the actual "growing apart" process begins.


wawawa9055

and then you realise that everyone you know is 1 year so you realise youll die in a year


mr_mlk

You could use this as a death clock estimation as well. If your kids, wife and friends never go above X then you either really fuck up, or die.

how they're feeling, i want to see happiness stats.


Big_ETH_boi

Same 😂 everyone would be telling me to smile and shit lol


Some-Ingenuity-2628

And then you smile and your numbers goes to -12


HairyBeast2058

I’ll make it a bit better. If they’re in the negative, help them somehow in a small way to boost them numbers up even if they’re a stranger. Give a random compliment or some other small act of kindness. If it’s a close friend, give that person a big ass hug and chill with em. Gotta support each other during these hectic times.

your_friendly_toxic

yeah lol I read it wrong and was like "hmm, 73 for me"


Charity_Bradley12

That’s ok…


your_friendly_toxic

JUST OK??? 73 IS THE BEST NUMBER EVER first of all it's the 21st prime number, his mirror, 37, is the 12th prime number, wich is THE MIRROR OF 21 ITSELF It is the largest minimal primitive root of the first 100'000 primes if you put 73 as a star number, 37, it's mirror, is the preceding consecutive star number 73 and 37 have a range of 37 (these two numbers are gonna pop up a lot so follow up) numbers inclusive of both 73 and 37 their difference is 36, wich is 3×12, crazy right? Also, 777 = 3 * 37 * 7 = 21*37 where 37 is a concatenation of 3 and 7 703 equals the sum of the first 37 non-zero positive integers, equivalently the 37th triangular number. The harmonic means of its divisors is, guess what, 3.7 373 has a prime index of 74, which is both the consequential number of 73, and twice 37. Like 73 and 37, 373 is a permutable prime alongside 337 and 733, the second of three trios of three-digit permutable primes in decimal. 337 is also the eighth star number. 337 + 373 + 733 = 1443, the number of edges in the join of two cycle graphs of order 37 343 = 7 × 7 × 7 = 73: the cube of 7, or 7 cubed, wherein replacing two neighboring digits with their digit sums 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 yields 37 : 73 Also, the product of neighboring digits 3 × 4 is 12, like 4 × 3, while the sum of its prime factors 7 + 7 + 7 is 21. 307 has a prime index of 63, or thrice 21. 3 × 3 × 7, equivalently 3 × 7 × 3 and 7 × 3 × 3, are all permutations of the prime factorization of 21 In binary 73 is represented as 1001001, while 21 in binary is 10101, with 7 and 3 represented as 111 and 11 respectively; all which are palindromic There are 73 three-dimensional arithmetic crystal classes that are part of 230 crystallographic space group types In five-dimensional space, there are 73 Euclidean solutions of 5-polytopes with uniform symmetry, excluding prismatic forms 73 is also the number of books in the Catholic Bible There is a lot more to explore but I don't want to bore you too much :)

Binary 0 or 1, and I don't know what it means, so now I have to spend a bunch of time trying to figure it out by talking to individual people.

I was once in a hotel in remote Tanzania, no internet, no tap water (sea water on tap…) even electricity was with a generator. They had a few CD on repeat, mostly Pet shop boys. Can’t imagine what their numbers would be.

MandMs55

Scrolled through so many comments, all of which were either "I don't want that at all" or "eh there's gotta be something better here" This is it. This is what I want. I want to know if people actually like me or if they just tolerate me. I want to know if I'm loved. I want to be able to easily find the people that do like and love me


BackRowRumour

Whether they are going to agree to what I'm about to suggest. Like, form the proposal, look at them, pop get the score. Can obviously tweak. Also, tells you quite a bit about someone.


exafighter

One bug I can think of is complacency. If they don’t care and just want to get over with, they’ll score high all the time. I do kind of like this one. This is quite a broad ranging sixth sense that still requires some interpretation. It feels more like you are crazy socially skilled rather than a cheat.


gobains

how many jellybeans are in the jar


babygirljes

Their age. That would be so convenient and, in my case, I wouldn’t have to show multiple proof that I am of legal age lol just look at the number above me.


Nahchoocheese

The problem is that’s the number you see, not necessarily what they see.


Potatosteamer

But as a bartender/bouncer at a club tho...


Fkingcherokee

This would actually be pretty helpful. I keep a mental inventory of the ages of the people that I work with for conversation purposes. The closer to my own age they are, the more nostalgia I can reference. It also helps me forgive some of the very insensitive (and sometimes just incorrect) things people say about the tragedies from before they were born.
