Pisser's paradox

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."

The Charizard Paradox

The Charizard Paradox is a phenomenon in Pokémon and similar franchises where a character has a limited number of “types” it can have and is forced to exclude certain important aspects from its typing in order for equally important aspects to be included in its typing.

This phenomenon was originally named by Pokemon YouTuber MandJtv in his video titled The Charizard Paradox.
Guy 1: wait this thing isn’t evil type? But it’s super evil. That’s like it’s whole thing.

Guy 2: well it’s also a ghost plant thing. It’s ghost plant type.

Guy 1: but it being evil is like equally important as it being a ghost.

Guy 2: it’s also equally important that it’s a plant.

Guy 1: damnit it’s The Charizard Paradox.
