No, I am not not a pathological liar.

No, I do not make a habit of lying for fun.

Yes, saying things like, “the sky looks so green today” in a really serious tone is hilarious.

Or if someone asks, “will you hand me that?” and I say “no” as I’m handing it to them. Very funny.

    I think it's funny to tell people I believe in flat earth theories. I don't, obviously, but they don't know that, and it's funny seeing how far I can push it. My favorites are "the globe model was invented by globe companies to sell more globes", and "the sky is a projection by NASA to keep us from seeing the face of God".

      I knew a guy in high school that did this to me, I fell for it for a long time because I'm not very good at telling when people are lying to me. Wild twist ending though, the guy ended up turning into a neo nazi years after we graduated.

      "you don't have to tell me the moon landing was faked, you obviously can't land on a hologram"

      "Birds aren't real, they're all government surveillance drones" is my favorite one. Why do you think they perch on power lines all the time? It's so they can recharge, obviously.

      I remember one January we had a government shutdown and I explained how all the birds being gone was clearly due to the shutdown.
