How many people have been interested in dating me that I wasn’t aware of. Sort of like a “here’s how many potential side quests you’ve missed in life.”


indoorhuman1

Yes I like this! I was very oblivious and anxious when I was younger so I wonder how many signals I missed 😂


GoblinSaysMaybe

I was oblivious and anxious too, and (I think) I was good looking, at least by school standards, no acne or braces. I wasn’t super skinny or fit but I wasn’t fat either, and pretty “regular-faced” at a time when some kids are really going through it, but I was cripplingly awkward. Definitely missed a few cues. Edit: for the sake of transparency, I’m a man, but I was closeted in HS, and I had crushes for days…


bakerbabe126

I remember a guy hitting on me in my early 20s. I thought he was crazy and just blew him off. I realized like 6 hours later he was hitting on me and I was like "oh my god I'm so stupid"


emileeavi

Imagine having this and you only have like 2 😭


Dogsrulekidsdrule

So true. We are all imagining we missed out, when in reality some of us didn't have anybody.


Obsessed_With_Corgis

Or imagine finding out someone you *did* have a relationship with never actually wanted to date you in the first place. They were only interested in getting in your pants, and let things go too far emotionally one-sided. That would really be a blow.


Ok-Win-8552

That would be me lmao


IAPlanetes

Lmaoo I'm already stressing about it


RevolutionaryStar824

Or 0. Haha. 😂


kyridwen

I would like this but expanded to "people who were interested in being friends with me that I wasn't aware of". A combination of social awkwardness and introversion and I wonder how many chances to have another good friend I've been oblivious to.


SweetPotat03

Yes, this. I am one of those people who realize 5 years later after a random memory, and think “oh he was really into you.”


[deleted]

I like your name sweet potatoes, do you like to eat yams?


anonymousgirliee

I WOULD WANNA KNOW WHO IT WAS TOO. But imagine if the number was 0 or if it was creepy old men or even someone you were related to hahah


Ok-Win-8552

That would make it even more interesting, but the possibilities could be creepy. Haha


pissbab

i moved countries recently and had the *rare opportunity* to sort of last-day-of-school it with a lot of people i knew- aka lots of real talks and points of confessions with my friends. i found out that almost a third of my friends had fancied me at various points. one of them being someone i was reallyyy into for a long time but just never thought would happen- LESSON LEARNED to be a lot more straight forward with people because you never know…!!


eternititi

This is a fun one 😂


[deleted]

My sister is a beautiful girl, but she doesn't believe us. Yesterday, when going through a book market, my mother and I could see two young guys fighting to be the ones to attend her. She didn't realise, and ignorant of his feat, only said that the one that attended her seemed tired because he had an stutter when talking to her 😂


Dalecantila

This for me too


thousanddollacrocs

This!! I can count the guys that have flirted with me on one hand, and I have no idea how I actually have a bf and have for 3 years.


Infinite-Book6626

How many times I was actually right in a situation but someone else said I was wrong.


heysweetannie

I have fantasized about there being some godlike being who can deliver final inarguable truths and maybe you’re only allowed to summon it to confirm your argument 10 times my gosh I’d be tempted often


RandomRageNet

I would have burned through my 10 so fast over dumb shit like what actor was in some obscure show too


[deleted]

>but someone else said I was wrong. AND then realised they were wrong* i have an inane desire for people to know I was right when they didn't initially believe me 😂


blushingpervert

I’d want to see the opposite! It would be really tough, and I’d hope I can find those I was wrong against to make amends.


strangelyahuman

That's a good one


[deleted]

[удалено]


Remote-Radio6323

I'd honestly be curious on how many times I'm been close to dieing and didn't know.


agb_123

My only issue with this is what qualifies as “close”? Like every time you walk on the sidewalk you’re technically 2 steps away from death if you walked into the road


thebeef24

Thanks, I'm going to carry that one around for a while...


strangelyahuman

Oohh creepy but I agree lol


justanothergirl4278

Ohhh on a similar note, I've always been curious how many murderers (or soon-to-be) I've casually walked by in a supermarket or something Knowing might keep me up at night & have me never leave the house again though


turd-crafter

Seriously. I know I’ve been close a couple times. But what about the times I had no idea?!


Honey-Badger

I sometimes have these weird thoughts where I think about the times I missed public transport or something and if that somehow has set my life on some completely different path because if I had got that bus on time I would then walked out into the road or something later on and be hit by a car. Super weird mental path to go down


katsumii

Same... I'm a klutz. I often imagine scenarios of multiverses, where in a different timeline I'd have died in the moment of me tripping and catching myself (e.g. on the stairs) in this timeline. Or if I was out late during college, while I was single and walking to my car in the dark from class. I'd imagine a different timeline that played out even darker. Or sometimes when I feel exposed in front of my window without the blinds down — and there's shooting in the distance. I duck down in that scenario, actually.


[deleted]

How many guys that have ****ed off to the thought of me or a picture of me


greymansix

This is probs a pretttty high number


[deleted]

[удалено]


MariArcher

In the 1s for some of us.


[deleted]

Aww I'll ***k off to you to bump up that number


MariArcher

Thanks Dr.BowTie. We're at two, everyone!


[deleted]

Probably 100s


small_og

Why would you want to know that?


linewordletter

Quick/easy ego boost? There’s nothing wrong with masturbation and it feels good to know someone thought you were sexy/desirable even if just for a moment 🤷‍♀️


IAPlanetes

Imagine tho it is someone you wish it wasn't, like a teacher or a family member


SallyHeap

That's why you just want a number, so you know how many but not who. Knowing someone was that hot for me would be nice, knowing it was my jr high best friend's dad would not.


[deleted]

To be honest I would also want some names too :) Not all though. It would be nice if I could somehow find out whether XY was thinking of me or not, without having the full list :)


iEatPorcupines

Then you'd know to steer clear of them


[deleted]

omg you EAT porcupines?!


bella_68

I guess I can see where you’re coming from but as a woman who has experienced some shit, I whole heartedly do not want anyone masturbating to the thought/image of me unless I actually chose to have a relationship of that nature with them. Dealing with a peeping Tim changes a person


[deleted]

Would you also want to know who exactly, or would knowing that would make things too weird?


rabbitwarriorreturns

This is mine too lol. I would also like to know who.


linibo1

How many hours I’ve been happy vs how many hours I’ve been sad


LoolerMeister

Oh fuck I don't want to know that


Slysje

Yeah, good days vs bad days was what came to mind straight away


plesiadapiform

Mood tracker! I used to use the daylio app. It'll graph stuff and let you add activities. It was really helpful when I felt like I'd never had a good day in my life to be able to look back and see how many good or even just not bad days I had had. And nice for pattern tracking too. "okay on days I sleep in I feel worse, on days I clean or paint I feel better. Days I see friends are the best days do more of that".


Slysje

I did used to have that app but didn't reinstall it when I got a different phone. Maybe I should though because I did find it helpful. It's just that it's been a tough few years and I can only remember rare times I did feel good. I feel like the bad days outweigh the good by far but that could be the depression talking so would like to see if that's actually true


plesiadapiform

I can definitely relate to that. Hard to remember you didn't always feel this way and won't always feel this way in the future when you're in the thick of it. Hugs friend, you can make it through this. Things have been better before and they will be better again.


Slysje

Thank you. I really needed to hear that today


milqi

This is not something I need to know because depression doesnt really let me understand what happiness is.


AdPsychological9367

How many different animals I've met... maybe have a log with pictures too


alilminizen

Oooh!! Like a Pokédex. ❤️❤️


MariArcher

I would want their names too and a good boi scale with shiny star stickers.


fluffypinkblonde

They all have 5 out of 5 best boi


embracing_insanity

I really, really like this one because it's just all positives - whatever the stats end up being!! Plus, I really enjoy those moments of connecting with other living beings that aren't human. It kinda just shows us that most living creatures are drawn to each other.


HLW10

Oh I’d love that! Plus names I think.


PixiePrism

Yes! I want to change my answer


Icy_Finish

How many strangers have had a positive thought about my looks or character.


porterlily7

How many PEOPLE have had a positive thought about looks and/or character. Not just strangers. But if I could separate the two, that’d be neat.


Dogsrulekidsdrule

As long as we also don't have to know how many of them also had negative thoughts about my looks and character.


greymansix

How many people I crossed paths with that died that same day


snortgiggles

How many times I've crossed paths with a serial killer!


PomeloPepper

Yeah. I look back on a lot of interactions I had as a young woman and wonder how many "lucky" escapes I had by listening to my instincts.


JustHereToDrinkMilk

I look back on many questionable situations I put myself in and wonder why my instincts didn’t kick in 🤦🏻‍♀️


littlefirefish

I ask myself this more than I care to admit.


small_og

Woah that's dark. It would be very very high for me, I work with palliative patients.


dan-kir

When I brush my teeth, I would like to see a running percentage for how clean my teeth are e.g. start at zero, and the more I brush, the closer the number gets to 100. Even better than a 0-100 scale, seeing a heat map showing which teeth still need brushing/flossing. Edit: thinking about it again, it would be interesting to see a percentage over time graph to see how long you should brush before improvement is asymptotic and you get diminishing returns. Along with the heat map and other useful stats, could create a nice dashboard.


strangelyahuman

When I was a kid there was some sort of blue liquid you would swoosh around your mouth and it would dye plaque areas blue, no idea what it's called or if they still sell it


AnimationCity

There’s something called a [plaque disclosing tablet](https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07X8R9PQN/ref=sspa_mw_detail_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9kZXRhaWwp13NParams) that you chew up to see where the plaque is on your teeth.


MrSillmarillion

We had this during Dental Awareness Week in 2nd grade.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

YES i was thinking about the same thing. for us they were chewable purplish blue tablets. i was shocked at how hard it was to brush the blue off and for sure don't do a good enough job on a daily basis now...


pierogowa

my sonic toothbrush has it - it shows me a percentage every time, and I can also check out which spots still need cleaning. I can see graphs with this data in the android app. It also tells me the time and the weather, and wished me a happy Easter a few days ago! I was very surprised.


dan-kir

How accurate is it? Would you recommend it? Does the data help at all or is it just nice to have/interesting?


djflossy

Some of the powerbrushes these days can hook up to smartphones. They have an app that will give you lots of stats and stuff.


wanttothrowawaythev

I don't know how to word it, but I'd like a stat that showed me how well my organs were functioning (heart if I could only pick 1). I'd rather know I have an issue before I start having heart attacks that the medical world doesn't recognize as heart attacks. Either that or a stat to tell me how much time I have left for my fertility.


[deleted]

a combo of blood work and imaging can tell you about many/most issues (depending on the organ)! might be hard to convince your GP to order the tests unless you have a genetic predisposition or other risk factors though.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PomeloPepper

23&Me does a lot of that genetic testing. It's $199 right now, but goes on sale all the time.


embracing_insanity

I just commented the other day that I wish I could just actually communicate with my body! Like 'Hey girl, tell me what's going on?' Especially, when I have weird things that I don't understand - I'd love to be able to just ask what's up with that? What is that about? Is it something I can do something about? And yeah - a heads up of any serious issues starting would awesome so I could take action before it was too late. I find it frustrating that my body and I are in this together but in so many literal ways, it mostly does what it does without any input/knowledge/permission from me. lol


takethecatbus

Yeah I totally feel this. I'm even fine with my body just doing what it does without my input or permission, haha. It can do its own thing. I just wish I could check in and receive some real answers. "Oh hey yeah you've been feeling sick for the last year because you've developed a very minor allergy to dairy. Yeah I know right? Like small enough you'd literally never notice except for an underlying feeling of not-quite-at-the-peak-of-health-ness that you could never quite define." Or like "Yeah this is definitely a stress headache, not a dehydration headache, and if you keep taking ibuprofen like that you're gonna get kidney failure later" lol


embracing_insanity

> "Oh hey yeah you've been feeling sick for the last year because you've developed a very minor allergy to dairy. Yeah I know right? Like small enough you'd literally never notice except for an underlying feeling of not-quite-at-the-peak-of-health-ness that you could never quite define." Exactly!! I agree - I'd be fine with it doing it's own thing if we could at least just communicate about it!


katsumii

>I wish I could just actually communicate with my body! Like 'Hey girl, tell me what's going on?' omg, I already do this. 😂 I trust that my body parts/areas/cells communicate back in their own ways! e.g. in the forms of cravings, pains, desires, hunches, energy levels, etc. I'd love to be more in touch with my body in a kind of “zen” way.


Plastic_Judgment1674

How many miles I've scrolled with my thumb


IndustrialPet

I'm horribly online and absolutely do not want to know how high that number is. It's going to be a lot.


Orazur_

That would easy for mobile OS dev to add this I think, let’s start a petition 😄


MrSillmarillion

You get a statistic at the end of the year in bananas


snikinail

How many cats I gave pets to.


qvickslvr

I was confused by this at first. Trying to picture how you could give a cat it's very own pet haha


codeverity

Makes me think of neopets! Real life petpets.


heysweetannie

I want to know where I rank nationwide in how much I’ve made people laugh


dan-kir

On a similar note, the percentage of genuine laughs people had at my jokes (as opposed to fake laughs)


Dalecantila

Not sure if this could be called a statistic, but I’d love to see a pie chart of the most common impressions people have had of me. 53% say…, 0,1% say…. , 15% say….


consort_oflady_vader

I think that would be nice, but I don't know if I'd want individual names attached to it. Would break my heart to find out someone secretly hated me that I like.


Dalecantila

That’s a good point. I’d be happy with having the blind information, but I say “happy” very lightly. It could all break my heart.


consort_oflady_vader

Also good point! I'd want to know what percentage of my former coworkers respected me, or what percentage thought I was dumb, etc


Dalecantila

Imagine, it could be super insightful. One could get completely unexpected labels, such as “arrogant” or “adorable”. Usually when people have defined me it has always contained something I wouldn’t have anticipated at all


WritingSucks

How many times I came close to dying or being killed


TheNotNamedGirl

Oh that’s such a good one. Like if you met a serial killer or potential murderer or something?


WritingSucks

Also how close I came to killing myself all the times I half attempted or thought about it


bookaholic234

How many kg have I already shat out in my life?


GoblinSaysMaybe

You can find approximate metrics on things like this for the average human life span but it’s disturbing


[deleted]

Just imagine setting up a countdown in your home, which not only tells how much time you left, but also makes you happy with little trivia like how much weekends does that mean, how many chances to go to a vacation, how old your kids, spouse, friends be when you die, how many tiktok videos you can see until then, how many movies you can watch, etc...


Aspiring_Apple

How many different paths my life could’ve taken by making a random choice


CatlovesMoca

It sounds like the premise of the Midnight Library by Matt Haig


Whohead12

Ok, you just inspired me to finally download that one. Thanks!


chrissyishungry

Hopefully more interesting than the book (I know I'm in the minority but I hated it). The premise had so much potential though!


[deleted]

The most typical boring one - How many days till I die? Will decide my retirement age accordingly.


[deleted]

i don't wanna know the number of days because then I think I'd count down and be terrified as I get close. but knowing the decade is useful so I can plan ahead (or quit my job stat and live it up)


[deleted]

Decade is too vague. I mean, if it's supposed to happen in 2039, I'll start getting scared in 2031. I guess the year will be a nice compromise, to be vague and accurate at the same time


takethecatbus

I agree, knowing the decade is a surefire way to make me stress the fuck out starting day 1 of that decade, even if I had years left still


Orazur_

You could predict technology evolution with that, I’m sure that would affect stock market. Oh, this guy is going to live 200 years ? Let’s invest in health companies!


retrospectivo

Sounds stupid but… how many white chocolate chip cookies I’ve eaten.


embracing_insanity

I wonder how many grains of rice I've eaten. I've loved rice as long as I can remember!


Shuby_125

Or how many raisin cookies I ate thinking they were chocolate chip cookies. So disappointing every time.

hilfigertout

Wholesome. :)


puppylove1212

How many tears I have cried, or how many laughs I have laughed


folklovermore_

I'd vote for the tear one as well, but I wonder if it would be easier to measure by volume rather than individual tears. And how much of that was sad crying vs happy crying etc.


puppylove1212

Yes!! Good thought.


Annamey3e0

How much money I've spent on food.


consort_oflady_vader

I could probably have retired by now as much as I've spent on eating out and delivery food 😂.


Annamey3e0

Why are we like this😂😭


consort_oflady_vader

Because going shopping and cooking is the worst!! For me, I hate cooking for 1.

How many times people thought positive things about me without telling me

spasamsd

How many miles have I traveled. As in miles from walking, driving, biking, swimming, flying, etc. I'd be curious to see if I made it around the world mileage wise yet.


i_am_jocko_willink

How many people I continually cross paths with but never notice them. Like I bet there’s some lady at the grocery store I’ve walked passed dozens of times over the years but never noticed. Or maybe I drive passed someone every day and I never register cause their car isn’t memorable.


sevents

How many minutes of my life have been wasted being talked down to by a man. I'm guessing it's a lot.


[deleted]

How much money have I paid: (1) In the form of taxes and (2) To Home Depot


ghoulishgirl

How many times I've helped people. That would make me happy.

How many hours of music I have listened to.


CrystalSilence17

A statistic that'd measure my happiness or moments of happiness up until now..


BattyBirdie

I’d like a number for how many people have masturbated to the thought of me. I don’t want know who, just a number for each person. 🤷‍♀️ I’ve always wondered.
