OMG LOL

In other news, people lie more when they know facial cues won't give them away.

Who cares if the sheep lie? They can deny the shepherd-lamb love all they want, but I've got pictures to PROVE that I farked 'em.

/ DNRTFA, just here to sadly admit to brag about sheep farking.

Everyone lies so much in every situation that calling someone a liar as if it's a revelation is hilarious.

Only liars think everyone is lying all the time.

That's not a lie, only incorrect.

scottydoesntknow: Um, duh?

If you don't have to look at someone or actually speak to them, it's a hell of a lot easier to lie. Some people can lie right to other people's faces without giving anything away, but most people can't lie worth a damn and they know it. You can easily fake emotion in a text because there's no worry about how you're acting or sounding.

Sure, I get that texting makes it easier to lie. But the report also states that video chat make it more difficult to lie than talking face to face. Sure, I can think of reasons that might be true: camera catches every detail, people feel they can disguise their emotions to another person but not to technology, maybe even that the video could be recorded. Maybe it was just a minimal statistical difference, but there might be a goldmine of human relationship information in figuring out why that happens.
