The Third Man Paradox

This is an oldie but a goodie.
The Third Man Paradox

Theist "I think God is real because thus!"

Atheist "I don't think God is real because thus!"

Third Man "I can prove whether it's real or not to both of you immediately."

A nonsensical concept that originated from a TikTok video in 2025.
It comes in and out through the hole. That's the infinite asshole birth paradox for ya.

generational paradox

A phenomenon where young individuals from Gen Z feel prematurely aged or burdened by adult responsibilities at a relatively young age (e.g., 22), while older Millennials experience a sense of being "old" around the age of 35 due to societal pressures and expectations.
It's wild how the generational paradox hits hard; my younger sister is only 22 but talks about life like she's already nearing retirement, while my Millennial friends keep saying they feel young at 35.

Discord Server Paradox

A discord server to be active must have its members inherited from a previous community or start out as an already established community. In failure that one of the previous traits is not established the server will ether transition into one of two outcomes:

i. Fade into inactivity

ii. Dissolve into an established community.

When a discord server is nuked a power vacuum is built. Popular associates of the server create their own splinters in an attempt to gain the members of the deceased server. (If successful) the splinters become the new established community so a cycle begins. The community becomes so far distant to its forefathers that the culture of the original server dies and thus the paradox continues.

This paradox in theory would mean that almost all discord servers can traced back to servers created in 2015 when discord first went public.
Person 1: I dont know how to make my server popular, everytime I make one it dies within a few weeks.

Person 2: Have you heard of the Discord Server Paradox?

pitbull paradox

When something is loved, owned, sought 9r, even hated based upon precieved value it adds by status. Those involved don't understand its care or details leading to mass misunderstanding, precieved danger etc.
The subject is then banned, barred or hunted for that perception until another group determined an injustice and, rally to protect it.
Many non-binary groups have been subject to the pitbull paradox being misunderstood or condemned and hunted until recently we realized it was unjust, unfair and prejudice
