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”
The number of times we’ve farted at the same time.
So does everyone have a 1:1 relationship to each other? For example I will see a 6 above my dad’s head, but you’ll see a 20? (yes, I’m implying you fart way more than me)
Yes 1:1 but maybe we just eat more meals/fart at the same time than your Dad
If you can find someone who has been farting non-stop since before you were born, you’d also be able to find out how many times you’ve farted.
The time and date of their death.
It would be interesting to see this update in realtime. You see someone about to get in their car, with a death time 5 mins from now. You call out “hey”, they stop, see you were talking to someone else. The date updates to 30 years in the future, as that momentary pause meant they won’t be in the place they would have when someone runs a red light.
Somewhere unseen, someone’s number changes from 20 years away to 5 mins away.
Nah, if they miss their appointment [the plot of final destination]
My thought was that it would be immutable. It wouldn’t change even if I told them.
I don’t think I’d tell very many people. It’s not something I’d want people to know about me. Also, the few I told wouldn’t believe me and if I proved to others that I knew this, I think they’d see me, rightly so, as some sort of freak. The temptation to ask would be overwhelming, but they don’t really want to know.
It kind of ruins the concept if you can’t use the information to change the outcome. Or maybe just makes it sad, every time you try to save someone they die at that time anyway. Then over time you work out that the clock knew what actions you were going to do, and by trying to interfere with the people with short times you actually caused their deaths.
Very Cassandra to have knowledge of the future but be unable to change it
You can’t change fate but maybe can change how ppl meet it?
Like If you knew someone was going to die maybe help them bring them peace sooner.
Or maybe if you knew your own date you could do reckless shit. Although you might just spend 20 years in a coma before you die.
Lol that twist ending i never thought of. Know I need to define death prior to making that wish.
Add location too, otherwise that’s just cruel.
“You’re going to die in 2 days!”
“Oh god, how? Where? Why?”
“No idea, get fucked scrub!”
They die of fretting at home, alone
or from to much hookers and blow.
Having kids makes this a burden IMO. It would be very difficult to know that any of my kids would die before me let alone the exact time
The last thing they said. I’ll never have to say “What?” 4 times in a row again.
With the vague rules, I think you can have that bypass language barriers.
Phonetic spelling
Ok, I change my answer.
You win. The amount of times I’ve wished the real world had subtitles…
Hi Taurus, I hope your birthday went well. I’m sorry that it seems I missed it.
Hell, just put their name, that would be a big help for me.
Only if the words were intended for you to hear.
I say a lot under my breath to keep from bursting, but also keep from completely roasting the idiots I deal with daily.
That’s closed captioning
How about closet captioning?
Huh? Does this come with all people? How do you set it?
You need one of those smart glasses, if you can avoid getting punched for wearing them
A percentage of how much our core values/morals/beliefs align, weighted by how important they are to us.
It would make it super easy to know upfront who I should include in my life and who I shouldnt.
I feel like almost everyone agrees on the biggest several except those corrupted by politics
And those with wrong politics usually show that pretty quickly
Does it have to be a number, or can it be a named category, like current goal?
That would basically be a cheat code in all social relationships.
Number of farts in their lives.
Their name.
How willing they are to talk to you right now. You can always pick the right person to talk to if you need to ask a question, give a friend the exact amount of space they need if they’re going thru something, and easily identify people that are interested in you (or not). Best of all, though, you can spot someone who’s a little too eager to talk and avoid a hostage-style conversation where they won’t let you leave politely
Your eyes scan the room, skimming the numbers. Everyone is in their own conversation, 20, 35, 15, nothing promising until you spot an 85. Their back is turned but you make your way through the crowd to their side of the room. You say “Hey”, and they turn, and as soon at they see you their number starts to drop. 75, 60 45, 10. Ouch, sometimes you wonder why you even try.
oh man, actually yea, not the person who suggested it but, that lowkey would suck so hard.
Then again mine would be broken at like a 5-10 the majority of the time so I wouldn’t have to worry XD
Honor
I don’t know why, but I really like this answer lol
Binary (has or doesn’t) or percentage?
A scale of 1-10 at how likely we could be friends.
I imagine everyone would be surprised by the number of 8’s, 9’s, and 10’s.
We’re very good at making friends when we try.
The way it works doesn’t even involve compatibility, so much. It’s just how much you’ve conversed over time without incident, like monkeys grooming each other.
Put me in horny jail, but I think the world would be a better place if we could see a measure of how likely we could be mating partners.
A meter (percentage) of the truthfulness of their statement.
RIP white lies
Number or hours spent playing dwarf fortress or rimworld
Easier to find my people: weird nerds
Dwarf Fortress: 0
Rimworld: … too much. 2k+. I need better hobbies. :D
I currently have a colony with 6 infertile cat people (3 couples with psychic bonds) who hate other people so much they refuse to recruit anyone, so they all became mechanitors. Randy is an asshole this time, though.
At least their DLC are mostly backwards compatible. Can’t play Oxygen Not Included for a few months each time they release a new DLC. I’ll get a crack and download my modlist, the moment it gets playable again.
How long till they die. could be used in good and bad ways but I think knowing is better than being oblivious.
This is great if you glimpse celebrities at events and then bet on it.
Kindness gestures. I like to see the good in people and this would just confirm that (in most cases).
