The paradox of dog territory ownership during and after it rains. Rain washes away or spreads out the scent of piss, so it has to be replaced eventually, but as there is no longer any record of the pisser's claim, does it truly have the right to claim it again? This thought experiment was first proposed by Robert Hund in 1933 because he probably ran out of things to do in his tiny Hooverville cabin and had to start tracking the territory of neighborhood dogs during his waking hours. He's also proposed the swallowing tree paradox, the ripened banana and blue pen ink paradox, and to his wife, Melanie. She once gave her grandson $1 to "buy himself something nice" with, back when that meant something.
"Urban Dictionary prompted me to use my nonsense pisser's paradox in a sentence, clearly displaying the fact that it hasn't noticed that it's users have begun using it as a way to also learn phrases and concepts."

A paradox, where, if you experience a modified version of something for a long enough period of time, the original sounds completely wrong, compared to the modified version of it, like the Mike Wazowski meme, where he bears the face of his friend, Sullivan.
Example:
Mario pissing those notes - modified
Mario pissing (disowned) - original
Example:
Mario pissing those notes - modified
Mario pissing (disowned) - original
- Jess has been listening to the remix of Gangsta's Paradise for so much time that the original sounds completely wrong to her!
- Must be the Sully-face paradox.

"Paradox of the responsible adult":
advocate or companion says exactly same as patient: former listened to, latter barely acknowledged/too articulate to need help or support.
Suddenly begins to feel like invalidated, ignored, infantilised,or spoken-at by professionals - irrespective of needs, urgency, complexity, education, age, or life experience.

Always the same issue with advocacy and experiencing same 'paradox of the responsible adult', no matter how old or educated.

the kylie paradox originated from a group chat, but initially has an undetermined start date. it is characterized by thinking faster than your fingers during text, causing a jumble of words rarely understood by others. (often made fun of)
person one: look at these coins i earned!
person two: What for that do?
(combination of “what’s that for” and “what does that do?”)
person one: uh oh, that’s a kylie paradox.

"The scientific observation that until a person can be visually observed to exist, they cannot be proven as a real individual and are assumed to exist within the beholder's imagination.
Which is then cancelled out by the fact that, for the beholder too have an imagination they must exist. But because they haven't been observed by most physical beings they're rendered non-existent"

Person 1: I've never seen you in person before, so you're just apart of my imagination
Person 2: that's kinda backwards logic, wouldn't that mean you don't exist because I haven't seen you?
Person 1: How does that make sense?
Person 2: It's probably The Yasuké Paradox, since you don't exist, I don't exist
