The "Looters Paradox" is a phenomenon that occurs in survival games and looter shooters, where the Player or "Looter" cannot find the item they are desperately looking for when they are putting their effort into looking for it, but will find it when they've forgotten about it or are looking for a completely different item.
It's a frustrating battle with a games RNG that always seems to target you at odd moments. For example, if the player is looking for an "Apple", they will not find the apple, but will only find Bananas and Oranges. But the moment they top looking for the Apple and start looking for the Bananas and Oranges, they will only find the apple.

"Ugh, I've been looking for this item for hours, but I just cannot find it! I hate the looters paradox!"
"Wh-... what the f---? Why is it always that, when I stop looking for this item, it is all I will ever find?!"

Donna recommended her and Steve go to Chinese food for dinner. Steve opposed the idea even though he never tried Chinese food. Donna pushed and eventually Steve conceded and they had Chinese food for dinner. After trying the food Steve fell in love with Chinese food wonder why he opposed it and was never willing to try before. Therefore being a victim of the Opposition Paradox.

A phenomenon in where one song on an album feels out of place due to it not matching any other song on the album, comparable to the track Sincerely Me from the Dear Evan Hansen movie, which is an odd Black Comedy song on an otherwise mostly sincere and heartfelt soundtrack.
Tim: ever notice how I'm Gonna Win by Rob Cantor is weirdly different to all the other songs on his Not a Trampoline album?

Bruh, I had a great day with my gf on the 26th, but then she dumped me on the 28th because the entire relationship was the result of a fucking bet from her friends. The 2 Day Paradox is in effect huh?
