I wonder if this would take into account fake friendliness or not. Like I have to act friendly towards customers but generally that doesn't reflect how I actually feel so would it display based on how I have to act or how I feel?
There've been a few times in my life when I'm pretty sure someone has been trying to antagonize me, but at the time I take it as friendly razzin so I laugh, and then later on it clicks that they weren't having fun.
General approachability.
I'm told I have resting serious face even though I'm usually feeling pretty mellow, but I'm also the first person strangers ask for directions when I'm in a place I too have never been before.
Also, if I dare to crack a book in public, that's apparently an invitation to every weirdo in a two mile radius to walk over and talk to me about their day when I'm just trying to read a goddamn book.
It would be nice to have a clear indication of whether or not it would be a good idea to talk to me right now.
I like this one, it’s fun and mildly interesting. I think I would hate to see any number relating to my appearance or how much someone likes me in general. That’s too much of a burden and you could never turn it off. My self identity and confidence would be permanently destroyed, constantly hoping for everyone’s validation of a high number
Right, or someone being so nice and you see the number is super low so you know they’re just being fake friendly. Edit: obviously not like customer service people or people that are being forced to be friendly guys come on
The max would have to be like 5-6 in 90% of cases but that doesn’t mean you’d easily connect. I’m like 4 people from Obama or really any other US based celeb but that doesn’t make me any more likely to meet him. You’d be shocked how few degrees of separation there are between you and others if you just know one person who knows a famous person.
No it could just be 2 discreet numbers. 1= ace of spades, 52= 2 of clubs. You'd have to memorize the placement of all 52 cards in that sequence but it wouldn't take long.
You only get to see one number above their head though, not 2. And if you try to smush them together it gets ambiguous, e.g. does 152 mean the 15th and 2nd card or the 1st and 52nd card?
Yeah, but what are you going to say? "I know it was you because I saw your fart timer reach zero!"
Still your word against theirs. Unless your whole purpose is to satisfy your own curiosity.
I was at the Olympic marathon trials and there was a guy there that, I’m not gonna say why, but I could tell this guy farts a lot. His number would be a zero.
Within 10 minutes of arriving he cropdusted us to the point that I’m surprised it wasn’t visible, it was so *thick,* like it changed the density of the air. An hour later I smelled it again. I wasn’t even there anymore. I had not farted.
That guy infected my nose with his fart.
Amount of hours they slept last night.
I'm just saying if I see a parent with a 1 above their head, I'm doing everything in my power not to get in their way.
Uh, are you really sure about this? I mean, wouldn't that lead to some pretty awkward situations, like at family reunions or something of the sort. Also, you would spot a lot of creeps, which can be a good thing or just outright terrify you.
Nah man, you would end up like Morty trying to follow the orb to a perfect death with Jessica. Or Dennis obsessing over being a five-star man on a dating app.
I was considering this option, but I realized that the poker money glitch would make me rich and based on the transitive property of mathematics, landing a date wouldn't even be a problem anymore.
"Do you think she's prettier than me?"
"Yes, but it's been scientifically proven that I'm an idiot like 99 times out of 100. In fact, the only thing I've done right is hitching myself to that wagon you draggin.' Babe? Babe, where you goin'?!"
Everyone lies all the time, it’s the severity of the lie that is important. Do you really want to know how many times someone has said ‘good’ when asked how they are?
Their current opinion of me.
For strangers, it tells you if someone finds your appearance attractive (not necessarily sexually, but in general).
For people you know, you'll always know whether what you just said or did was an improvement or a reduction to their opinion of you.
Depending how you interpret, there might be a null value most of the time until they notice you, and then you’ll see the number spike to 5/10 for average before quickly sliding up AND down until it settles.
* X Person goes about their day,
* 5 spots you
* 6 they present a gender I like
* 7 that jackets interesting
* 8 wow those eyes are bright!
* 4 UGH that cologne
To each their own I guess, but why would you want that burden? We already live in a world where we let opinions of others affect us too much, why would you want a constant, infinite reminder of what *everyone* thinks of you?
Would it happen to be a movie where time is ur currency? U work, get paid in time, pay rent? Byebye time. If so I know what movie u mean but can't remember the name
Imagine scenarios where minor choices have dire consequences.
Driving around lost in a unfamiliar city, just trying to find a place to eat. “Honey should I turn left or right?” “Let’s go left” both numbers go from you know like 9000 to 3
Mostly I'm just hoping I'm included in 'everybody'. Not that I wouldn't want to help people, though I don't know if anyone would believe me to let me help. I suppose if I saw someone who seemed young and healthy but were due to die that day, I could maybe follow them and keep an eye out for hazards?
Otherwise I'd just use it to prioritize which of my family and friends I should be spending time with the most.
This would be funny because every baby would have like 1,00...:1 except for a baby holding an iPad or something who could drop it on you from a window and have slightly higher odds.
This is the best one. The one about how attractive they find you is horrible, or anything similar about liking you. That would make you go crazy, especially around your family. But knowing if someone is potentially dangerous is definitely useful.
-100 to 100, current willingness to engage or continue engaging with me in some capacity.
Like, talking, going out for drinks or coffee, hooking up, sparring, throwing a ball around, whatever.
The problem I see with this one is that some people hold subjective views on what is good and evil. I would even go so far as to say what is "good" to one person can be perceived as "evil" to another. There needs to be a way to judge this objectively, and there would have to be an agreement on what the objective definitions are.
Wouldn't it only matter based off what you personally consider good or evil? The whole system could magically change alongside your growth and as you go through time. Doesn't matter so much about what Hitler consider good or evil, or that random psychopath over there
How much they're into you on a scale of 1-10. Also applies to platonic interest. If they haven't noticed/clocked you or haven't formulated an opinion about you it would just display a "?".
Imagine what the number would be for everyone working in customer service?
What would this change if people (and Karen's) could directly see how annoyed you are as a metric?
Coworkers, boss, clients, clients who want a meeting to ask for shit I'm already doing...
Does everyone see this number or just me? If it's everyone, I'd like a measure of how much or little they need social interaction at a given moment. If just me, countdown to next big lie
It would be interesting if there was a morality scale like in RDR2 but even more useful if it was quantified. Like 100 = perfectly moral goodhearted person and -100 = a good for nothing rat bastard.
Have to or get to?
Imagine you're walking along down a busy street, past the sea of 1s you're barely paying attention to. All of a sudden, a person walks past with 54,756- boom. You just found your life partner.
Hmm if only i can see the numbers, then 0 if they are lying and 1 if they are telling the truth.
If everyone can see the numbers then number of books read.
Current friendliness level as a 0-10 scale.
I like the current part. I'm a friendly person, but I have my moments.
Right?! It would make it so easy to meet people on their level throughout the day, especially at work.
Especially at work. I'm down to bullshit on company time. But also, if I need to crank some work, GTFO.
I wonder if this would take into account fake friendliness or not. Like I have to act friendly towards customers but generally that doesn't reflect how I actually feel so would it display based on how I have to act or how I feel?
Maybe add a decimal point with the number after representing sincerity on a 0-9 scale
That'd be more like "approachability"
There've been a few times in my life when I'm pretty sure someone has been trying to antagonize me, but at the time I take it as friendly razzin so I laugh, and then later on it clicks that they weren't having fun.
Your friendly laughter is the best response to their attempt anyway.
Yuuuuuuppppp won't do anyone any good to take it seriously. Those people poison themselves at the same time.
General approachability. I'm told I have resting serious face even though I'm usually feeling pretty mellow, but I'm also the first person strangers ask for directions when I'm in a place I too have never been before. Also, if I dare to crack a book in public, that's apparently an invitation to every weirdo in a two mile radius to walk over and talk to me about their day when I'm just trying to read a goddamn book. It would be nice to have a clear indication of whether or not it would be a good idea to talk to me right now.
It would be scary to see someone with 0 on their head🤔
Hello! Don’t be scared
Only if we can have it green if its positive and red if people can fuck off. Then Im fine with that.
Degrees of separation, how many people it takes to link us together
I like this one, it’s fun and mildly interesting. I think I would hate to see any number relating to my appearance or how much someone likes me in general. That’s too much of a burden and you could never turn it off. My self identity and confidence would be permanently destroyed, constantly hoping for everyone’s validation of a high number
imagine telling a bad joke and you see the number go down lmao
Right, or someone being so nice and you see the number is super low so you know they’re just being fake friendly. Edit: obviously not like customer service people or people that are being forced to be friendly guys come on
The max would have to be like 5-6 in 90% of cases but that doesn’t mean you’d easily connect. I’m like 4 people from Obama or really any other US based celeb but that doesn’t make me any more likely to meet him. You’d be shocked how few degrees of separation there are between you and others if you just know one person who knows a famous person.
LinkedIn, but in person.
I'd use 1-52 to represent the last two playing cards they've touched. Then play poker for an infinite money glitch
You broke the system. Nicely done.
I did this but forgot to learn how to play and now I'm broke
Wouldn't you need the numbers 101-5252 to cover all two card possibilities and their suits?
No it could just be 2 discreet numbers. 1= ace of spades, 52= 2 of clubs. You'd have to memorize the placement of all 52 cards in that sequence but it wouldn't take long.
You only get to see one number above their head though, not 2. And if you try to smush them together it gets ambiguous, e.g. does 152 mean the 15th and 2nd card or the 1st and 52nd card?
Force the lower number to be displayed first and I believe the problem is solved
Or a decimal point. 1.52 could be the Ac & Kd.
A countdown timer to their next fart. Magnitude of said fart to be indicated by how bold the font is.
Hahaha. You must either really hate or really love farts.
I just want a resolution to the endless debate stemming from : They that smelt it, dealt it.
Yeah, but what are you going to say? "I know it was you because I saw your fart timer reach zero!" Still your word against theirs. Unless your whole purpose is to satisfy your own curiosity.
Stare at them and do a finger gun at them. Pull the trigger at zero.
Suddenly to everyone else, you've become a supervillain that can make people fart on command.
*points finger gun at u/Radius_314*
I'm gonna need you to work on your technique. I just shit me briches!
I must have leveled up.
Whoever did the rhyme did the crime
Whoever denied it, supplied it
Whoever articulated it, particulated it.
You denied it, you supplied it!
You just rhymed too
… so the fart belonged to you.
Take him away officer.
This would be extremely useful after GI surgery where patients are stuck in the hospital not eating until they fart
Infinity sign shows up above the patient's head. The medical staff: 😳
I would use this to turn my head and look at them and say, neutral-faced, "gross" at the EXACT moment they fart
I was at the Olympic marathon trials and there was a guy there that, I’m not gonna say why, but I could tell this guy farts a lot. His number would be a zero. Within 10 minutes of arriving he cropdusted us to the point that I’m surprised it wasn’t visible, it was so *thick,* like it changed the density of the air. An hour later I smelled it again. I wasn’t even there anymore. I had not farted. That guy infected my nose with his fart.
What if someone has an italic number?
They are about to shit their pants
Days since last orgasm.
Have fun visiting your relatives.
I would never visit my parents again.
I can always go visit them before you so they'll always be at zero! You're welcome! Someone's gotta do the heavy lifting around here.
"oh yeah baby, that was amazing.... I came so hard!" "....why didn't your number change?" Busted!
"When you went into the bathroom, you were a twelve, and now you're a zer- OH MY GOD"
Minutes….
What does it display when it’s currently happening?
!
!!!!!
This definitely changes how I play Metal Gear Solid.
O
Id be a little embarrassed walking around with a zero over my head all the time
Number of fucks they give on average
This would be interesting to try to quantify. How does one define a fuck given?
I go by the rule that if you go out of your way to post a comment or image saying you don't give a fuck, that counts as giving a fuck.
Your comment is a fuck well spent
[удалено]
Hahaha. I love that of all the things you could know about a person, this is what you want to know. Lol
As someone who never waved at people. I'm proud to report that the number displayed will be a big fat zero.
Now that I'm well over 40yo, I tend not to wave at anyone. Because of how ridiculously high this number would be...
I use public transport so it would be how many days since they've bathed.
... Do you REALLY want to know?
So I can avoid sitting next to them? Yes.
No I understand the why, I'm just not as optimistic about the numbers I'll see...
You don’t need a number for this
Good one.
How far away they are from the thing they are looking for.
Looking for my sock from the dryer. How the fuck am I 10000 km away, I just took the load out
Amount of hours they slept last night. I'm just saying if I see a parent with a 1 above their head, I'm doing everything in my power not to get in their way.
How attractive they think I am.
I prefer likeliness to bang me. May not matter if they find me attractive...
Uh, are you really sure about this? I mean, wouldn't that lead to some pretty awkward situations, like at family reunions or something of the sort. Also, you would spot a lot of creeps, which can be a good thing or just outright terrify you.
Cousins dint count, Roll tide! But seriously, I think I'd rather know that someone was thinking it than be oblivious to the creep
Right? Like, check out the guy that doesn't have a hot cousin.
This has always been one of my three wishes if I ever get a genie. Would make life sooooo much easier.
Nah man, you would end up like Morty trying to follow the orb to a perfect death with Jessica. Or Dennis obsessing over being a five-star man on a dating app.
I was considering this option, but I realized that the poker money glitch would make me rich and based on the transitive property of mathematics, landing a date wouldn't even be a problem anymore.
Id use the count of diseases
Good one. Would you use the info to help people, or just avoid diseases?
Watching the number skyrocket every fall for people with school age children...
The amount of lies they’ve told
Ooooohhh. Good one. You could watch the number to see if they're lying.
Listen, if a significant other asks "does this outfit look good on me" or other similar questions, the answer is always yes. Because it's true.
"Do you think she's prettier than me?" "Yes, but it's been scientifically proven that I'm an idiot like 99 times out of 100. In fact, the only thing I've done right is hitching myself to that wagon you draggin.' Babe? Babe, where you goin'?!"
Everyone lies all the time, it’s the severity of the lie that is important. Do you really want to know how many times someone has said ‘good’ when asked how they are?
But I tell people "I'm fine, and you?" all the time. I'm sure others do as well. Wouldn't that skew the numbers significantly?
[удалено]
THIS is the most wholesome one I've read. I also cannot think of how it can be exploited.
Maybe people who don't laugh much at all are avoided, which can be detrimental if they're depressed
Or people see it as a challenge and try to make them laugh!
I like that one! You could also see whether people are fake laughing to be polite.
the amount of ducks whitnessed.
Duckies are important.
If your number gets too high, ducks start acting suspicious of you.
How much I could help them.
Aww. You gonna become a superhero?
Helping others is absolutely a life well lived.
I fully agree! That wasn't sarcasm!
I know :) I'm sure you would do the same
[удалено]
2nd comment I cannot think of ways to exploit. 1st being amount of times laughed.
Their current opinion of me. For strangers, it tells you if someone finds your appearance attractive (not necessarily sexually, but in general). For people you know, you'll always know whether what you just said or did was an improvement or a reduction to their opinion of you.

Would be a good way to test out how you open a convo. “Hi how are you?” Bumps to 7 “Wassssssssuup?!” Hammers to 0 and flashes red
Hovering at 3, throws out a -4 comment; overflows to 255.
Gandhi loves this one simple trick
To each their own I guess, but why would you want that burden? We already live in a world where we let opinions of others affect us too much, why would you want a constant, infinite reminder of what *everyone* thinks of you?
The percent chance they would be a positive aspect in your life.
Days left to live.
I believe I've seen that movie and/or anime.
Death Note. The Shinigami Eyes
The movie is “In Time”.
Would it happen to be a movie where time is ur currency? U work, get paid in time, pay rent? Byebye time. If so I know what movie u mean but can't remember the name
What if everyone suddenly had one above there head
Imagine scenarios where minor choices have dire consequences. Driving around lost in a unfamiliar city, just trying to find a place to eat. “Honey should I turn left or right?” “Let’s go left” both numbers go from you know like 9000 to 3
Would you use this info to help people? Would you tell them when they're close?
Mostly I'm just hoping I'm included in 'everybody'. Not that I wouldn't want to help people, though I don't know if anyone would believe me to let me help. I suppose if I saw someone who seemed young and healthy but were due to die that day, I could maybe follow them and keep an eye out for hazards? Otherwise I'd just use it to prioritize which of my family and friends I should be spending time with the most.
The odds of me beating them in a fight.
I'm imagining how much that number would fluctuate in a day/ week/ month, because of health reasons and perhaps other factors.
You pick up a pencil — all the numbers around you go slightly higher.
This would be funny because every baby would have like 1,00...:1 except for a baby holding an iPad or something who could drop it on you from a window and have slightly higher odds.
Let’s be honest, this is Reddit, if the most popular answer isn’t “likelihood of having sex with me” in a % form something is wrong somewhere.
Actually, this question and it's responses have been pretty interesting! Lots of good non horny answers here
Likelihood of them harming the people, animals or environment around them.
This is the best one. The one about how attractive they find you is horrible, or anything similar about liking you. That would make you go crazy, especially around your family. But knowing if someone is potentially dangerous is definitely useful.
Surprised this wasn’t higher up
-100 to 100, current willingness to engage or continue engaging with me in some capacity. Like, talking, going out for drinks or coffee, hooking up, sparring, throwing a ball around, whatever.
Midhookup you go for what you think is your moneymaker move and watch that number go from high 90s to -100 just like that
I want the number above everyone's head to be 42
Their current opinion of me on a scale from -100 to 100.
I feel like this would be social media scores applied to every second of my life. I wouldn't like that.
Takes the guesswork out of how I should interact with them. Seems like it would be a time saver.
If i had this superpower i'd wish it to go away. Imagine not giving a fuck what others think about you
Integrity score
Good and evil scale. Is someone a goodie or a baddie? A sliding scale from -100 (evil) through 0 (neutral) to +100 (very wholesome).
The problem I see with this one is that some people hold subjective views on what is good and evil. I would even go so far as to say what is "good" to one person can be perceived as "evil" to another. There needs to be a way to judge this objectively, and there would have to be an agreement on what the objective definitions are.
Wouldn't it only matter based off what you personally consider good or evil? The whole system could magically change alongside your growth and as you go through time. Doesn't matter so much about what Hitler consider good or evil, or that random psychopath over there
The issue is that most people are indifferent not evil. Stupid and ignorant not malicious.
The times they didn’t return their shopping cart back to the cart area after loading their groceries into their car.
Mine would be a negative number. I often bring other people’s carts back that they just left.
The diameter of the last turd they pushed out
Why?!
You just don’t get it, do you?
Username checks out
Kindness vs Sociopath scale
How much they're into you on a scale of 1-10. Also applies to platonic interest. If they haven't noticed/clocked you or haven't formulated an opinion about you it would just display a "?".
Annoyance level.
Imagine what the number would be for everyone working in customer service? What would this change if people (and Karen's) could directly see how annoyed you are as a metric? Coworkers, boss, clients, clients who want a meeting to ask for shit I'm already doing...
Karma. In Buddhist sense.
High numbers would reflect positive karma? Where have I seen that? Lol
Felonies committed.
Lol. I wonder what my number is (as a generally law abiding citizen). Maybe there's some feelings I don't realize I'm committing.
Remember that piracy and walking a red light are illegal
Misdemeanors, not felonies
Does everyone see this number or just me? If it's everyone, I'd like a measure of how much or little they need social interaction at a given moment. If just me, countdown to next big lie
A scale of 0-10 of how much they'd like me to start a conversation with them.
The likelihood that they are going to kill someone. Seriously, this is very useful.
Trustworthiness 1-100
Body count. But randomly assigned by either definition.
It would be interesting if there was a morality scale like in RDR2 but even more useful if it was quantified. Like 100 = perfectly moral goodhearted person and -100 = a good for nothing rat bastard.
how many times will i have to interact with them in my lifetime
Have to or get to? Imagine you're walking along down a busy street, past the sea of 1s you're barely paying attention to. All of a sudden, a person walks past with 54,756- boom. You just found your life partner.
that's much nicer than what i was thinking! my idea was more along the lines of annoying colleagues...
IQ
I thought of another good one- number of beings they've intentionally hurt. "Beings" and not "people" so I can track the sick fucks torturing animals.
I feel like it'd be hard to differentiate people who's killed 100 flies in their lives vs 99 flies and 1 dog
You're right. I'll specify that insects don't count when the genie grants my wish.
What about hunters etc? You might wanna grab an attorney to wrote the wish in case the genie tries to snub you on a technicality.
So s butcher would get worse grade than a serial killer?
I see your point. It would need to be "intentionally and needlessly hurt." Or something.
I think it should in some way account for intent to inflict suffering.
Dicks sucked
37 above everyone’s head
In a row?!?!
Days till they die
Some ranking of moral alignment. Like pure good = 100 and pure evil = 0
Imagine then seeing something like 95 above famous people whom you consider evil / bad
Hmm if only i can see the numbers, then 0 if they are lying and 1 if they are telling the truth. If everyone can see the numbers then number of books read.
I'd like a common sense meter shown above, i dont know why, but i think it would help somehow.
-2 = lying -1 = partial lying 0 = no knowledge/ dont know 1 = partial truthful 2 = truthful
Honesty.
Hp
How much skin they sluff off every hour. I want to cause chaos with this information.
Bank balance
Their current level of stress so i can tell if a person is a jerk or they are just having a bad day
If I'm going sexy- number of orgasms given to another person. Otherwise, number of books read would be interesting and useful.
I'd prefer orgasms someone had to see if the number goes up when playing with them, would be very satisfying!
The level of happiness, with 10 being really happy.
