Is a lie just a fact that has been microwaved for too long?

Answer 1

It depends on the kind of lie.

Some lies are microwaved facts, because they're simply true details that have been left to melt a little too long and it's difficult to tell which are the grains of veracity in the huge floating mess. Some lies, however, are truths that must have been in the refrigerator too long. They were factual once, but things have changed over time, and the frozen facts choose to deny this fact.

What it all boils down to (no pun intended) is that lies are processed, pasteurized, pickled and packaged in a number of ways. Some facts are microwaved. Some are frozen. Some rot, others ripen. It's a matter of the nature of the lie and the nature of the human telling the lie.

Answer 2

Not at all. A fact is a fact and a lie is a lie. A microwaved lie is similar to a fabricated story. A microwaved fact is like a true story that has been passed from generation to generation, with each teller altering the story a little bit but without intent to lie or deceive.

interesting way to look at it, but what it boils down to is that a lie is the opposite of the truth.
