I think this is a fun tool, but I think it has shortcomings when it comes to a deeper dive into an individual’s experience of their happiness. Some things check out. Monday has a lower happiness score than Friday. But is “gravy” (6.32) really a sadder word than “sandwich” (7.06)? I think that’s quite a controversial scientific standpoint. Nevertheless, the Hedonometer may also point us to dates where people create the strongest memories.
