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.
-
A lot of paradoxes listed here:
a) have linguuistic problems
b) are underspecified
c) are very similar to others -
"Nobody goes to that restaurant because it's too crowded" paradox
-
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. -
Arent the sword a shield and unstopable force vs unmovable object the same paradoxes with just different concepts?
-
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
-
Most of these are on the level of "How me go place if place far away?" Nice paradoxes.
-
That's the shortest but accurate description for the fermi's paradox I've ever heard lol
-
I swear half of them aren't even paradoxes
-
I have concluded that some paradoxes are actually paradoxical, and others just purposefully ignore reality to be quirky.
-
“Second sentence is lying”
“First sentence is telling the truth” -
For the barber one, just have 2 barbers give each other a haircut...
-
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.
-
Paint Explainer Paradox: If every paradox is only half explained,
-
If an unstoppable force hits an unmovable object, they take a screenshot
-
-
A lot of paradoxes are solved when you stop attributing an underlying, unchanging "essence" to things
-
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."

“Do we run duos because we suck at the game, or do we suck at the game because we run duos?”

0:36 never, you’ll get to bored and forget about it
