Paradox (n.) A question/statement with no logical "solution"

ex. "This statement is false!" or "New mission: Refuse this mission!"

If you have decent thinking ability, you should be able to figure out how those statements go in an infinite loop

"This Statement is False!"

If you say that a statement is false, there's no proof of lying. Therefore all statements are taken as true.

If the statement "This statement is false" is true, it is also false. If it is true, it contradicts the rule above, and therefore is its opposite, which DOESN'T contradict the above rule, changing it to "this statement is true" on the statement "this statement is false".

And infinite loop.

So anyway, post any paradoxes that end like that and explain how they work.

...Discuss?

Yes, I get it, my profile doesn't show up to anyone but me. I don't understand it either, but surely there are better conversation topics than my lack of a viewable profile.

I color my greentexting green because I [REDACTED] feel like it.

Here's a paradox: What happens if I reply to a thread no one can see?

oh wait that one is easily solvable. All I have to do is click submit!

Isn't cool enough to have a signature.

I'd disapprove the thread right about now, but if I did, no one would be able to read my super-witty joke about disapproving the thread.

Placeholder signature. Will probably replace this tomorrow.

And just like that, Bizarro OT was born.

Even though I've long since retired from osu!, I'll always think of my time here fondly. If by chance you happen to notice this signature on some old forum thread, thanks for stopping by and I hope you're having a great day!

SPOILER

Opening this spoilerbox will close the other one

And closing this one will close both.

Locking this thread would be both meaningless and meaningful at the same time

Well, if you bump a thread that doesn't exist in finite space, is it really being bumped?

To you, this is a brand new topic, yet it is an old topic.

Would it be a stretch to call that a paradox as well?

Just wait until the mod queue system gets removed. What will happen to this thread? Will it become public? Will it cease to exist?

maybe it'll turn into a vortex that will secretly mod queue all the bad posters!

If you can see this it means I'm posting outside of the mapping forums and you should take anything I said with heaps of salt, or as purely intended for humor.

I wonder what would happen if i dissaprove the OP, would all the remaining posts become a visible thread? or would the whole thing dissapear in the voids of darkness.

that's a risk I'm not willing to take

instead I'll write the remainder of this post with an upside down keyboard

okay never mind

if you link a regular user to this thread, do they get a permission denied error, a topic doesn't exist error, or do they see the thread

I could solve this one myself but feel that would be cheating
