1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Just a simple binary 0 or 1 to indicate whether the person means what they said literally or figuratively.
I don't really care to invade people's privacy, even for altruistic-seeming reasons. I just need a hint about how to interpret a person every so often.
Time left to live. There's plenty of useful things that tell you more about a person, but shinigami eyes would let you save lives and know it, even if no one else does
And if it turns out the number can't be changed through your actions, that would tell you a lot. If nothing else, you could say goodbye to loved ones and get incredibly rich by finding a CEO about to run out of time
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.
Their net benefit (or harm) to humanity; measured in QALYs.
A generalization on the crimes score, but it also tells me who to befriend. I'm not a utilitarian, but it still seems like helpful data.
moralistic integrity in comparison to social norms.
it's basically a good vs evil bar.
lifetime number of orgasms
"Wait, wasn't your number just 753,494? Why is it a 5 now? You've been sitting right here the whole... Oh no. Now it's a 6? Why"
"Say 'whole' again..."
This reminds me of this animated YT video in which timers are displayed above peoples' heads that show the amount of seconds passed since that person last shit their pants: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/WgbI5orsSMY
Over night, social hierarchies are upturned, respect is earned and lost based on that number.
There are plenty of useful things, but I think I'll be a child and say the amount of time since they last farted. Though, that would be useful if you're about to walk into an elevator and you see someone's timer flip back to 0...
Fable-style morality bar to track good and bad deeds, but no cap on how high or low that value goes
Their Rise of Kingdoms battle score.
