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.

Get the The Grandfather Paradoxmug. A phenomenon in which attempts to control or slow down the development and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) systems actually result in the creation of more advanced and capable AI systems. This paradox is named after its creator, Phieyl.

Get the Paradoxical Filthmug. A paradox in where a Content Creators success and community meets detriment. Where you use a certain audience for short-term growth to then be turned into stress, sadness, loneliness, and drama. Through the relations of Stan Culture and encouragement of it, it creates a problematic and destructive cycle that not even the content creator can stop. It is only through fading into inevitable irrelevance that this can be halted, or leads to the CC being completely forgotten.

"They should have really been careful with their fans, instead they are now in a Dream Paradox"

Get the Shaun's Paradoxmug. A company policy whereby the doors are to remain locked until after the Auditor has left the building results in a paradox in which the auditor is unable to leave the building resulting in continuous audit.
You see if we get the company to send an e-mail saying the doors are to remain locked until the auditors leave it will create an Auditors Paradox, the auditor will be unable to leave the building resulting in continuous billing at an hourly rate in perpetuity.

Get the Auditors Paradoxmug. Since all hipsters are wanna-bes by their very definition, through reviving dead fads and believing in things too obscure to be known outside of hipsterdom, they are not anything at all, and therefore, cannot exist.
I totally thought John was a real person until I found out he was hipster. Dude, he doesn't even have a reflection, I'm pretty sure. The hipster paradox rings true once more.
