A year ago, the creator made a survey on Google Forms asking people to lie on every question. They forgot about it for a year and recently revisited the responses. The survey included questions about personal demographics, preferences, and opinions. The creator found that despite the instruction to lie, many responses seemed truthful or predictable, like the most common lie being "attack helicopter" for gender. The survey revealed humorous and absurd lies, reflecting both the creativity and the dark humor of the respondents. The creator concludes that people are unpredictable and can't be trusted even when asked to lie.
