I mean it can be faulty, he is answering knowing that he doesn't know so anything he says is a lie, last time nose grew was because he said he can't lie and that was in fact a lie or because he doesn't understand how his nose works and made up an explanation making it a lie.
You can not know the answer to something and still lie. For example, earlier this week I told someone something, and later I came up to them and told them that I was sorry that I lied and I gave them the correct information. I didn't lie out of malice. It was an accident, but I still lied
He's not wrong, the data IS wrong, this just implies that he himself believes the lie, as lying is subjective, and the nose only grows based on what he believes to be true or not. Meaning the last sentence was infact a lie because he himself doubts that and believes it.
In short, he's a confused conspiracy theorist at heart. He knows and believes it to be bad data, but also believes that the data isn't wrong either, and therefore can't make up his mind at the last sentence. 😂
I'm about to get too deep on this funny little comic but I feel like it fundamentally misunderstands an aspect of scientific inquiry. Science is not just about pursuing the answers to questions, but about pulling all the threads that come loose in the pursuit. It's not just yes or no, its how and why and in what circumstances and in which ways. Its "how does the way in which we discovered the thing affect the thing we discover, and how many things can we discover along the way." This is also the case with math, art, and any number of other human creations: Having an end goal or intention is important, but the result is not the most important part, the process is.
It only grows if he knows it’s a lie but if he believes it’s true then it won’t grow.
If he doesn’t know then nothing would happen unless he answered which then it would be a lie and it’s grow even if it was true simply because he didn’t know it was true.
they’re really fuckin dumb cause a lie would literally just be what he thinks isn’t true or him being disengenous, not necessarily a fact of reality. which makes this comic dumb as hell too 😂 the “uh.. no” might have been a lie only in the sense that he gave a definite answer when in fact he doesn’t know the answer. which is probably why it only grew a little bit
Why doesint he just say idk the answer or answer with a qwestion. Like: hmmm im what do you think the answer is? Hmmm thats an interesting qwestion lets circle back on that then ask his own qwestion. Bro needs to learn how to become a politianion or a supuervisor at a big org
Huh… I feel like a issue in this idea is I don’t think the nose jsut "nose" everything, I think it only works if ponokio is actually telling a lie and not just saying something random to check if it’ll grow or not. If that was the case then he’d just be a lie detector where if the police was trying to make someone confess, ponokio could say " this guy robbed a bank" or "this guy didn’t rob a bank" and see if his nose would grow or not

It's freaky but it's not deaky
this is a really nice variant of the all knowing lie detector machine
All he would have to do is say I don't know because technically he didn't lie
I would just say idk bc I’m not lying so my nose wouldn’t grow

He hates this place and wants to leave.
Nose doesn't grow.

The nose cannot lie.

Redditor mid-wits all seem to think this is more clever than it is.
A lie has to be a deliberate attempt to deceive.
So "gravity is not being affected by undiscovered extra dimensions" is very nearly the truth in this universe
It only grows if he knows it’s a lie but if he believes it’s true then it won’t grow.

If I was him I'd say "not saying"
All I can say is that I do understand that what I may or may not know could be labeled of perspective of being accurate
Yeah,more reasons humanity is too overpowered!!!!😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

so we're just stealing comics and slapping them over some random video game footage now uh
why did they change the like button to a heart
If that Puppet existed there would be entire Crusades devoted to finding and/or protecting him.
Notice how his nose didn’t grow when he said he wants to leave
This implies the nose is truly independent, not just a reflex he cant control. Also it’s omniscient for some reason.
Wouldn't wanna be tied to a chair aether. Can't blame him.
What kind of nose gets hard when lying? Is it a masochist?
Quick, ask it an unprovable question is mathematics.
There are some true statements that are impossible to prove… We can finally get an answer!
Why doesint he just say idk the answer or answer with a qwestion.
Like: hmmm im what do you think the answer is?
Hmmm thats an interesting qwestion lets circle back on that then ask his own qwestion. Bro needs to learn how to become a politianion or a supuervisor at a big org
He measured. 0.3mm. With. A handheld manual ruler. The least believable part of the whole story
Imagine he say i don't know every time
To be fair.
He is right… The issue is he knows what he just said😂
I was just about to say that
Anyone else think he sounds like Elmo? 😂
But he isn’t lying. He just doesn’t know. It wouldn’t work like this
Scientists have proof that magic exists and they spend their time asking about gravity.
Pinocchios nose only grows when hes purposely lying, not when hes wrong and doesnt know
All that really means is that at some point they asked him a question he did know the answer to
Huh… I feel like a issue in this idea is I don’t think the nose jsut "nose" everything, I think it only works if ponokio is actually telling a lie and not just saying something random to check if it’ll grow or not.

pinnchio actually only has his nose grow if he KNOWS its a lie thats the issue with this comic
