How many individual dicks have been in their mouth.

Maybe net worth. I feel like there's a lot that can be done with that, good and bad.

[–] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If that could translate to ad buys, it would mean I'd only see advertisements for scams, because I have no money for anything else.

omg I'm not sure if this is exactly what you meant but,

I would love a metric above their head that states how many times an advertisement has actually worked on them, vs how many they have seen.

I think it would revolutionize the way we see ads today, because I think almost everyone would have significantly low numbers.

Net worth. Assuming this number is seen by everyone not just me. This would end all keeping up with the Joneses, no posing with sports cars, no super rich people passing as having not enough. But also lots of crimes probably sadly.

[–] psud@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

lots of crime

Lots of us have large net worth locked up in our home, in done age groups it'll tell you nearly nothing

That's too easy to measure on your own. Maybe # of original ideas they ever had?

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Like, truly original? It would usually be a way lower number than you'd expect.

So much stuff dies at the implementation phase.

Ehh. It means a lot, but also not everything, or even the most. And, there's good evidence people segregate themselves by it naturally.

[–] Pika@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

There's a lot of great choices here. I personally lean towards trustworthiness/if they are being genuine or not with what they are saying, or the net worth one, but since those are taken I'll throw one more into the pot.

This might be more controversial but, a marquee banner with number of crimes committed by type. Nothing super detailed, but like have it say the type of crime, how long its been since committed, and whether they were actually guilty of the charge (not by the laws eyes, whether they actually were guilty of it)

this type of system would be basically useless almost 90% of the time after you have met them once, but, it could be super helpful for determining trustworthiness, how safe you are around them, intention and also whether or not the system failed them or not. It also would significantly speed up the current legal system, as every case would basically be a file the case, show up to the hearing and look at the tag and then verdict instead of spending months sometimes years fighting a lengthy legal battle.

Personality score.

[–] shutz@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

You trying to come up with another unoriginal writing prompt?

I'd go with something like "number of times they genuinely helped another person without any obvious personal incentive to do so (excluding the general warm feeling one gets from doing this.)"

[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

It seems like an invasion but how about an indi cation of child offences

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

"Minutes remaining".
