Not a very small thing maybe, but: All people gain ability to instantly recognise bullshit (at work, in media, interpersonal relationships, etc)
I'm not sure this would be a positive. I think there are a lot of pleasantries we afford each other to deescalate a situation.
I mean, we kinda see it anyway when people are lying a bit just to be polite, and I wouldn't be mad about it. But that's not what I was talking about.
What I really meant is the ability to see malicious lies, the ones designed to take advantage of us. This would be really OP, i think xD. I apologize for the misunderstanding, english is not my 1st language.
Fair, you've got to be careful with those genies though, if your wish isn't carefully crafted they'll happily use it against you ๐
Oh heck i didn't think about that... ๐ฑ Thx for the reminder :D
