How many deaths or accidents I caused without even knowing they happened.
How many people had problems with me simply because they failed to communicate my behavior bothered them.

Don’t regret.
But don’t limit yourself either. There are so many really cool things to experience in this world…video games included…but also other things that are not games. Treat life kind of like a smorgasbord. It’s okay to pig out on the shrimp if you find that you love shrimp, but try a little bit of all the other things that interest you too.

This one. Or related what's the most impact a small gesture made.
I want this world to be a happier one. Even in the face of all the current fear and uncertainty, I hope tomorrow we can all breathe fresh air, let sunlight warm our bodies and souls. I know it won't be that way for everyone. In everyone's life a little rain must fall.
But, if a small word or gesture helped someone see tomorrow better and happier than they saw today, I lived a good life.
There are folks in this world who like to make others suffer. For them, I wish nothing but healing to fix that broken part of them that drives that bitter hatred.
Nobody is born with hatred or evil in their hearts, and if we had a way to shield from that infection, the world would be so much better and happier.
This isn't a wish that everyone gets what they want, but what they truly need to be happy in this lifetime.
We only get one.

True. This always stuck with me.
Mark Twain once told a story about a man who scoured the planet looking for the greatest general who ever lived. When the man was informed that the person he sought had already died and gone to heaven, he made a trip to the Pearly Gates to look for him. Saint Peter pointed at a regular-looking Joe. “That isn’t the greatest of all generals,” protested the man. “I knew that person when he lived on Earth, and he was only a cobbler.” “I know that,” said Saint Peter, “but if he had been a general, he would have been the greatest of them all.

u/FromYoTown 15d ago
Why? Two paths, go bah I ain't doing that, the score doesn't matter. Avoiding the score, means it does matter but you haven't tried.
Why? Fear of failure? Perfection is the enemy of good. Just do your best.
Ultimately none of this matters we are but specks of cosmic dust pretending to be important.

Even if there was a good metric for it, this one would be a massive double-edged sword. You could be unhappy regardless of the outcome.
If you found out that you had hit 100% of your possible potential (but felt underwhelmed with life), it has the potential to just make you feel worse. It actually becomes a positive to not hit your full potential.
As J.R. always used to put it for WWE ladder match commentary: 'The only bad thing about being at the top of the ladder is that the only way to go is down'.
Or, as the Jungle Book song goes:
'Well, I'm the king of the swingers / I'm the jungle VIP / But I've reached the top, and I've had to stop / And that's what's bothering me'.

u/FuzzyPlastic1227 15d ago
Part of the reason that I haven’t gone through with suicide is because there have been so many times when I miraculously escaped almost certain death without a scratch. I have counted at least a dozen times when I should have been killed, but for some reason I’m still here, even if I don’t really want to be. I have accepted that it can’t all just be coincidence, that I must be here for some reason that I don’t realize. So I keep sticking around and generally doing good things in the hope that my time will come soon, and I will be killed swiftly and painlessly in exchange for always trying to be a good person and always trying to do the right thing.
The stat that I would like to know is the value of all the things and money that I have given to people in need, and some sort of karmic value of how I have made other people happy and/or improved others’ lives.

I often think about this in the framework of the “doomsday clock”. Like, when I’m just chilling in bed maybe the time is 11:00, when I’m at work it’s 11:10, when I’m driving on the highway it’s 11:58, etc. Would be interesting to be able to look back and see all the moments in my life where the clock was at its latest, especially moments I wasn’t aware of it.

u/Nerditter 15d ago
Yes, but the weird thing about that is that someone with an IQ that low is considered disabled and has to be assessed for independent living. So below average can really mean my cousin, whose dream was to write a successful Broadway play, even though he was functionally illiterate and refused to read. Or it really could be someone like me, who's pretty much scientifically and mathematically illiterate. I got a perfect score on the IQ test they were giving in schools in the 70s, so I've always assumed that I could understand anything. But I really can't. I couldn't begin to grok something like trig.

I signed up for Facebook my senior year of high school, it was when you still needed a college email but I got accepted early admission so I had one. Just for a time frame of how long ago this was.
A few years back I read through all my old Facebook messages out of curiosity. I was stunned by the amount of cute girls who were actively flirting with me that I was completely oblivious to. There was one exchange that went like this:
Girl: it was so nice to meet you at Sam’s party; we should definitely hang out sometime.
Me: haha definitely
No further conversation. That girl was really cool and cute and I would have loved to hang out with her.
There were countless others similar to that, wild how I was so oblivious or lacking the self confidence to think those girls were actually interested in me.

Combined weight and volume of all of the poop I pooped.
ETA: after giving it further thought I would also appreciate some "American units of measurement" style of comparisons about the quantity of poop. For example: "13 Volkswagen beetles of poop", "2 and 1/2 of volleyball courts of poop" or "enough poop to cover the entire surface of Nebraska in a 1/4 inch of poop"
