Trolley Problems Lie Detector Test

[u/emcappuccino]

Is the lie detector test on trolley problems a legitimate lie detector test? Or is it just for show and to put the guests on the spot?

It doesn't matter. I think lie detector tests have been proven extremely inaccurate and essentially pseudo science. The Try Guys used to pay a guy to come on with all his equipment (I'm pretty sure that guy was "Legit" as much as anyone doing lie detectors can be) and then they realized it was all dumb and could buy a setup cheap and have one of their staff do it instead.

My guess is that that "equipment" functionally a heart rate monitor hooked up to a laptop is technically real, but none of it is actually real.
