The Grandfather Paradox

The best Catch-22 of them all: What if your grandfather was a truly horrific person and you were forced to go back in time and kill him before he could do those bad things. But, if you succeed and your grandmother hasn’t been impregnated with your dad or mum yet, you would not be born, and if you weren’t born, nobody killed your grandfather and well… you know where this is going.

The Maxvita Paradox

The Maxvita paradox occurs when an individual, while playing the game CS:GO, uses machine pistols and other inexpensive and high fire-rate SMGs as high valuable AR, whereas when playing with guns such as the AK-47 or the M4A4, the person tries to "spray and pray" while rushing at the enemy. Players acting like that can be named "Maxvita" after the patient zero himself, Maxvita
"That bot is just rushing and spraying with an AK, what an idiot"

"That has to be The Maxvita Paradox"

Jake was told that seeing the movie decreased the ability of his competition to create a trailer for audiences. He avoided a cognizanthazard paradox by requesting random footage from the movie and learning nothing more about its plot while making the trailer.
