A lot of paradoxes listed here: a) have linguuistic problems b) are underspecified c) are very similar to others
-
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
-
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
-
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.
-
Olbers paradox is like asking why a single candle can't light up a whole auditorium. It makes no sense.
-
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.
-
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."
-
Paint Explainer Paradox: If every paradox is only half explained,
-
Tiredness paradox: Imagine being so tired, that you are too tired to be tired.
-
Most of these are on the level of "How me go place if place far away?" Nice paradoxes.
-
Arent the sword a shield and unstopable force vs unmovable object the same paradoxes with just different concepts?
-
A lot of paradoxes are solved when you stop attributing an underlying, unchanging "essence" to things
-
This feels like the things you would think of if you had 4 hours of sleep in last 7 days
-
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
-
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.
-
Grand hotel is not really a paradox. It’s just how infinity works. Infinity is not a number, it’s a concept such that every number is smaller than it. Nor is birthday. That’s pure probability. The problem is people may not understand math well and thus find those counterintuitive and unbelievable. One common confusion is, we may think of “two people sharing a bday” in the same way as “someone shares my bday”. I’ve taken a college level probability course and still feels like that sometimes.
-
Achilles and the Tortoise has already been solved, because to this actually happen you have to distort the time, since Achilles must be at a certain speed each second and the Tortoise too, so in one of these seconds Achilles will surprass the Tortoise, for the Achilles to not surprass the Tortoise you would have to decrease the time in between each movement.

When I think of zero effort content made only to feed the algorithm, I think of vids like these
