A question you ask Siri/Alexa/Google/etcetera that causes it to malfunction and give you a not-quite-an-answer.

Hi hi paradox

It's a paradox stating that women excessively read into things even if there is nothing to read into. For example one can say hi and simply mean just that, hi but a woman will analyse that hi

Papi Gerald didn't mean it like that, it's a hi hi paradox

Urban Dictionary Paradox

When you try to make a joke definition of an Urban dictionary link, but it says can't contain links in the definition, so you remove the link and submit it, thinking the problem is resolved and your funny joke is through. But then it says definition must have word in it, but the word is the source of the other problem.

Human: I can't wait to joke about urbandictionary's blog page!
*Human goes to website, adds definition, writes 'funny' definition, presses submit*
Website: There was 1 error that prohibited this form from being submitted (Links)
Human: Ok then, I will remove the link.
Website: There was 1 error that prohibited this form from being submitted (Not having the word in the example)
Human: HELP ME, I AM IN THE Urban Dictionary Paradox!!!!!!!

The Bluey-weed Paradox

The paradox that results when one smokes or otherwise inhales cannabis then, as a full grown adult, proceeds to watch children shows all the while claiming it is an adult show, despite the show being designed for toddlers.

"My buddy keeps watching Bluey and smoking weed! He's fallen for the Bluey-weed paradox."

Ephemeral Idealization Paradox

A literary device where a character's pursuit of an ideal or unattainable desire is intensified by its fleeting, transient nature. This paradoxical longing becomes more powerful and all-consuming precisely because the object of desire is perpetually elusive or only exists as a constructed ideal rather than a tangible reality.

Daniel's relentless pursuit of Michael is an embodiment of the Ephemeral Idealization Paradox, where his desire for her grows more obsessive precisely because the perfect version of her he envisions exists only in the shimmering, unreachable past.

The Looter's Paradox

A common tragedy amongst Looter's when faced with overwhelming amounts of loot , supplies etc they're limited by the quantity of things they can carry. They are forced to leave some loot behind despite wanting all of it. Usually when faced with the Looter's Paradox people are troubled by deciding on what to take and feel uneasy leaving things behind. (Most commonly applies to video games).

After that base raid in dayz I was faced with the Looter's Paradox after finding ludacris amounts of loot.
