Contagion level.
I want to know how likely I am to get something from you. You won’t stay home, you won’t wear a mask, you won’t use protection, you won’t get vaccinated - you won’t be interacted with.
Is “how much I would like them on a scale from 0 to 10 (with a resolution of like 0.01) if I got to know them at a deep level” allowed? Or is that cheating?
that might be nice, or you might find out you dont know your friends and loved ones as deeply as you thought, and if you did you wouldnt really like them at all.
(Or that most everyone is likable if you invest that time, and everybody is a 9+. The horror of finding that your political boogiemen are certainly charismatic and kind to their friends…)
It’s a hypothetical question, so yeah. It can be whatever you want it to be. =)
Number of hugs
Percentage on how likely someone is to be caught if they were murdered along with the coordinates of that location 48 hours from current time.
Just for curiosity.
Or maybe what everyone else said about farts or something
How many people’s livelihood can be affected by their decision.
Many other good answers have already been spoken. Here’s a thought:
Friendship ROI
ROI being like, if you put effort in are they going to ghost you? or what type of stat are you looking for on your ROI.
I feel like if I had to judge myself my ROI would be pretty low because I’m pretty anti social, but like that’s not because I don’t want to be friends or am a bad friend I wouldn’t say, I just tend to stick to myself unless invited to stuff and hang out in closed groups. So I feel like context on the ROI matters.
If you make the emotional investment low the return can still be good
Percentage of personal wealth donated in the last year to an org or person that they are not affiliated with.
Dick size
Luckily, you can just see if they drive a truck or not.
Current size or maximum?
Pedophile or not pedophile. So I guess, how many children theyve gotten sexual gratification from would be the stat. I think I would be absolutely disgusted by that stat though.
Yeah, and what are you going to do with it, tell the police it’s magic, trust me bro?
I read a few stories where anonymous tip led to something.
I mean you don’t have to get defensive. Go see a therapist if you find little kids sexually attractive 🤮
You could cheese this by picking a statistic for something like “likelihood to agree if asked for a favor”. I’m not going to stress over the wording on how to make it most useful, but something like that could be interesting.
Or something like “amount of undiagnosed cancers” if you want to save people.
Happiness.
Tiredness level
Total net worth. No hidden assets or secret bank accounts. Every last cent that a person is worth. Also, it gets brighter/more noticeable whenever you’re advocating for something that increases your net worth.
I feel like this would be the only way to get a lot of people to connect the dots.
It would need to include intangible wealth too, though. One of the big 20th century studies on poverty concluded there’s a great deal of social mobility, because rich nepobabies on a gap year or at university were counted as having no income. (And if they’d been looking at wealth, maybe not much in their own name there, either)
Number of days since they finished reading a book.
Their name followed by the exact thing I would need to say to get then to do what I want, under a removable censor bar like how people hide spoilers.
Every time you expand the spoiler, the text just says “I’m wearing a bomb, do what I say”
Nah half of the time it’s “I’m from the future and [thing that nobody could know and which they have never even said or written down], we need you to do XYZ”
