When something is at the opposite ends of the spectrum, at the exact same point in time.
Derived from:
The vast difference in oral sensory information from eating a grand slam at Denny's when drunk at 3:00AM as opposed to eating the meal while sober. It is a paradox as the meal is both delicious and disgusting at the same time.

The urge one feels to buy games and/or, more often, DLC produced by the game company Paradox Interactive. This is usually felt the most during steam sales.
Paradox player: "Yeah, I just bought all the DLC for HOI4, so y'know"
Normal person: "Wow, how much was it?"
Paradox player: "Oh, y'know, just £37 in the steam sale"
Normal person: "Isn't that a bit much? I mean, you must've been under that Paradox pressure."
Paradox player: " *scoff*, you're a bit too much"

The act of simultaneously ejaculating and soiling oneself during intercourse. The "paradox" to which the name refers is the question as to whether one should cease the act of coitus in order to go to the bathroom and defecate, or to continue and risk the consequences.

A result of the hype surrounding the 2009 movie The Hangover.
Everybody who first paid to see it expected it to be terrible. They were all surprised by how good it was.
These people recommended it to their friends, thereby hyping it up.
Their friends went to see it, expecting it to be brilliant, only to be disappointed by how it wasn't as good as they were expecting.
= The Hangover Paradox.

Jon: Thanks man, I'll go see it this evening!

The definition of a hipster is that they are nit and do not like mainstream things. But since hipsters are now mainstream, then they must like mainstream things.

An example of Paradox is not possible, as you cannot fully replicate her persona and beauty in written terms.
