Arent the sword a shield and unstopable force vs unmovable object the same paradoxes with just different concepts?
@t___m
A lot of paradoxes listed here: a) have linguuistic problems b) are underspecified c) are very similar to others
@Luxembourgishsmartass
Some of these are, by definition, not a paradox. Rather, they exhibit a logical fallacy that, if corrected, would lead to a conceivable solution.

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
@UltimateWobbleBoss
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.

"Nobody goes to that restaurant because it's too crowded" paradox

If pinnochio says anything paradoxical, he spontaneously combusts

Paint Explainer Paradox: If every paradox is only half explained,
@curranzz
I have concluded that some paradoxes are actually paradoxical, and others just purposefully ignore reality to be quirky.

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."
@ZF646
When you combine paradoxes, it creates a paradox, and then when you combine that paradox, it makes another, therefore there being infinite paradoxes
@lorenzomartinelli7665
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
@Malesks
paradoxes: make a rule, think of how things are, refuse to comprehend thing because of said rule
@demonman905
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.
@historynerd-2010
I didn't know that there are many kinds of paradox like this :D
@spidercrumple69420
3:20 the sword and shield one gives same vibes as “if I punch myself and it hurts am I strong or weak”
@virginsovietunion5876
Olbers paradox is explained by the fact that there is so much space between objects in space that there isn’t enough collective matter to consistently scatter light in space
@oyc7946
3:20 Fun Fact: this is also the story behind the Mandarin word 矛盾 meaning "contradiction" came to be. 矛 directly translates to "spear" and 盾 directly translates to "shield". The scenario is the same with a spear that is able to pierce through anything and a shield that is able to block anything thus creating a contradiction
@MrCereal369
Thanks! i didnt understand over half of these paradoxes😀👍
