    Times they told the truth.

    If it’s objective truth, sweet! Motherload I can asking anyone the a question to the secrets of the universe and know whether they’re wild guess was true!

    If it’s subjective truth, also useful, but you know just lies or ignorance detector

      Isn’t that just a “how much do they yap” meter? A quiet person who lies can compulsively will have a lower number than a socially active person who tells occasional white lies.

          Idea was presented as number of times they told the truth. So, if I say a thing that has technically two truths to it but is structured to be easily heard as a single truth/lie, then I can lie to you without being noticed.

          Even if it’s a lie counter, suddenly you have a bunch of people saying shitty things to each other “because you would know if I was lying to you, so why should I bother?”
