We need the “I am so comfortable that I don’t wanna get up to pee, but since I have to pee I’m uncomfortable” paradox
-
Whats the paradox for getting in a comfortable spot to sleep in and then feeling the urge to move one of your limbs and then not being able to sleep comfortably.
-
I have concluded that some paradoxes are actually paradoxical, and others just purposefully ignore reality to be quirky.
-
I swear half of them aren't even paradoxes
-
Paint Explainer Paradox: If every paradox is only half explained,
-
A lot of paradoxes listed here: a) have linguuistic problems b) are underspecified c) are very similar to others
-
This feels like the things you would think of if you had 4 hours of sleep in last 7 days
-
Tiredness paradox: Imagine being so tired, that you are too tired to be tired.
-
I think you missed the crux of the unexpected hanging paradox. The prisoner uses the logic you described to deduce that he’ll never be hanged because it can never be a surprise, but he ends up getting hanged on the Tuesday… much to his surprise.
-
Rick Astley Paradox: If you ask Rick Astley for a copy of the movie Up, he cannot give it to your as he's "never gonna give you up." However, by not giving you Up, he lets you down, which he also cannot do since he's "never gonna let you down."
-
My personal favourite: If you ask Rick Astley for a copy of the movie Up, he can’t give it to you, because he’s never gonna give you up. But in doing so, he lets you down, thus creating the Astley paradox.
-
Here's a sort of paradox I saw: Benny doesn't fix the hole in his roof when it rains because it's too wet to work, but when it's not raining it doesn't need to be fixed
-
the grandfather paradox seems like the worst way to find out your adopted
-
paradoxes: make a rule, think of how things are, refuse to comprehend thing because of said rule
-
Most of these are on the level of "How me go place if place far away?" Nice paradoxes.
-
-
A lot of paradoxes are solved when you stop attributing an underlying, unchanging "essence" to things
-
“We know who tried to erase someone from existence, but we will never know who managed to erase someone.”
-
Preparedness paradox is probably the most interesting one on here to me for sure. You can't possibly know how things would have played out if X action hadn't been taken, and if you knew, you still wouldn't take it as seriously as you would if X hadn't been there to shield you and you'd been impacted. But, odds are, you wouldn't be alive to reflect, either- or, at the very least, you wouldn't be you anymore.
-
You're missing the Astley Paradox. If you ask Rick Astley for a DVD of the movie Up, he won't give it to you because he's never gonna give you Up. However, by not giving you Up like you asked for it, he's letting you down.
