Paradoxical Domino Effect

The idea that introducing or accepting a single paradox means introducing and accepting an infinite amount of subsequent other paradoxes, because of the first paradox.

The main take away here is you don't want to introduce any paradoxes to a line of reasoning or any model, because you'll have to also by proxy also accept an infinite amount of other paradoxes that are thus created by the first one as a consequence.
Paradoxical Domino Effect Example #1: God exists therefore any other god could also exist. Since God exists so could faeries, werewolves, vampires, Big Foot, and The Loch Ness monster. Since faeries could exist as a consequence of this, magic also must exist since they use magic.

Paradoxical Domino Effect Example #2: Going back in time is possible; therefore, you can go back in time and kill your own grandpa so you couldn't be born. Since you can't be born you must not exist. Since you no longer exist... wait what if going back in time is actually just a copy of the past you are going into? So there must be infinite pasts you can go into. Since there are infinite pasts you can go into...

Aye Domino

Aye domino is a joke among Stays (Straykids fans) Aye Domino comes from the song DOMINO in which Han Jisung says the iconic line AYE DOMINO. It had become a massive meme that even companies such as Domino's, Duolingo, Samsung and others joined in on this fabulous trend! Though it has died down and isn't as popular it will not be forgotten.

Billie Bertha Einstein Rodriguez Domino

Billie Bertha Einstein Rodriguez Domino (Júimeño) was a popular singer song writer in the 13th century. She wrote and sang top hits like “Mango Tango,” “She took it,” and “Mama Huevo.” She lived to the age 122 and died in the 14th century. Her original family name was pronounced Júimeño, but she legally changed it to Domino because of the petition her Fanclub started, stated that her last name was “too ethnic.” Billie was often considered a symbol of art. Her signature short bob shag haircut was often the stated reason. She had a signature look she gave people when she was “tired of their crap,” referred to as “the Billie Bertha Einstein Rodriguez Domino stare.” Many consider Hana Khan to be the 21st century equivalent to Billie in looks, but others will argue that Hana can’t quite get her stare perfect.
“Uh oh, don’t look now, she’s giving you the Billie Bertha Einstein Rodriguez Domino stare…”
