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
-
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
-
Arent the sword a shield and unstopable force vs unmovable object the same paradoxes with just different concepts?
-
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.
-
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.
-
Paint Explainer Paradox: If every paradox is only half explained,
-
Most of these are on the level of "How me go place if place far away?" Nice paradoxes.
-
This feels like the things you would think of if you had 4 hours of sleep in last 7 days
-
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."

A lot of paradoxes are solved when you stop attributing an underlying, unchanging "essence" to things

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
-
Fun fact about the Sword and Shield Paradox: the Chinese word for "Contradiction" is comprised of both the characters for "Spear" and "Shield," because there was an ancient Chinese story about a merchant who tried to sell to the Emperor a Spear that could pierce any Shield, and a Shield that could not be pierced.
-
A few of these paradoxes aren't actually paradoxes or have an explanation. Olbers' paradox in particular is solved beautifully through cosmology (and actually is one of the more intriguing suggestions that the universe might be expanding), the twins' paradox has actually been proven to be true (not with twins I think, but with extremely precise clocks) and Schrödinger's cat paradox is solved once you consider that the cat and the machine HAVE to be considered observers of the phenomenon occurring

“Second sentence is lying” “First sentence is telling the truth”

Wow, very interesting :) I love your explanations! ❤❤❤
