for the stupid icebreaker segment of one of my classes (cultural anth) we split into smaller groups and played a round of two truths one lie and apparently im really good at this game?? bc no one guessed my lie??? i remember we played the game once in high school drama class and no one guessed that time either though ill admit i cannot recall what i offered as my options that time but the high from winning that game was INSANE because drama kids in my mind means A) highly competitive and B) better at catching out what acting looks like. its just kinda weird bc im both clumsily honest by default, love oversharing, and am generally quite gullible (ex: when guessing OTHER people's lies in class yesterday, i was batting a perfect ✨0✨ and i was trying very, very hard) so i always sort of expect it will be immediately obvious which one is not true

however, playing that game yesterday did give me a small hypothesis for a sort of unspoken bias that might afflict how people choose their option which i kind of want to test more....

#ramblings #to be more precise the way the game yesterday worked was we broke into groups of 4 #played the game normally amongst ourselves once #and then chose one “fact” for each of us which we would present to the entire class as a group #using one thing we used in our first game and one person would present the lie #and the whole class would vote on who the liar wad #full transparency: i achieved flawless victory in the small groups but in the class ver 2/40 did guess my lie correctly #however i consider the group version more flawed bc the teacher would recap our options during the voting #which can sometimes require reclarification or repetition etc
