WYR get fact checked in a debate or have a lie detector claim you believe the moon landing was a hoax?
Context: The first part of this week’s Would You Rather refers to JD Vance getting fact-checked in the vice-presidential debate and getting angry at the moderator about it. The second half is inspired by Ariana Grande getting hooked up to a lie detector for Vanity Fair, which alleged she might not believe in the moon landing.
Georjia: I feel like I get fact-checked all the time, but I also fact-check people just as much. However, during a debate, when I’m trying to win over a nation, it’s a tad embarrassing. Then again, having a lie detector test claim that I believe the moon landing is false (that’s a whole debate for another time) is just worse, in my opinion. I believe in the moon landing, but what is causing this test to think I’m lying? There’s a reason they can’t be used as evidence in a courtroom, so I guess you could use that excuse. I think lie detector tests have become too normalised. You see every celebrity and influencer take them and it’s usually the same three people running the machines! I’m starting my own conspiracy here which could overshadow the moon landing accusation. I’ll have the lie detector LIE about me thinking the moon landing is fake.
Annie: Any honourable person would rather get fact checked than have lie detector claim you believe something you don’t. But not me! I’d be SO embarrassed. I sure could use a bit of humbling but there’s not a hole deep enough that I could dig to bury myself in shame if that happened to me. We all know lie detector tests aren’t accurate anyway, and sure, my friends would roast me about this for the rest of eternity, but I’d rather participate in a bit than to come on to LIVE television for a debate prepared with lies.
