Koch paradox

The Koch Paradox (german: Kochsche Paradoxon) describes the phenomenon of a large discrepancy between what a person perceives and what actually happened, especially in the context of video games.

Person A: "How is he not dead?! I've shot him 10 times already!"
Person B: "Literally none of your shots connected, dude."
Person C: "The Koch Paradox at work again, huh?"

Paradox pressure

The urge one feels to buy games and/or, more often, DLC produced by the game company Paradox Interactive. This is usually felt the most during steam sales.

Paradox player: "Yeah, I just bought all the DLC for HOI4, so y'know"
Normal person: "Wow, how much was it?"
Paradox player: "Oh, y'know, just £37 in the steam sale"
Normal person: "Isn't that a bit much? I mean, you must've been under that Paradox pressure."
Paradox player: " *scoff*, you're a bit too much"

Denny's Paradox

When something is at the opposite ends of the spectrum, at the exact same point in time.

Derived from:
The vast difference in oral sensory information from eating a grand slam at Denny's when drunk at 3:00AM as opposed to eating the meal while sober. It is a paradox as the meal is both delicious and disgusting at the same time.

Guy1: Dude, I was so wasted last night! I went to Denny's and it was the best meal of my life!!

Guy2: I just came from Denny's and it tasted like complete shit.

Guy1: Wow thats like a Denny's Paradox!

DNashty Paradox

Since the beginning of organized sports betting, a team favored be more then 13.5 will cover every time, 95% of the time.

Pat's are favored by 13.5? That's almost DNashty Paradox material, I'm going to clean up, son, take your puss boots off and get on.
Nice, if it's DNashty Paradox, throw two huge tits on it for me! Booya

Manscaping Paradox

A natural and uncontested law of the universe. Simply put, if a man shaves his goods before a date for the purpose of intercourse, he will NOT have sex that night. However, if he forgets to manscape, he WILL most likely have sex. A true no-win situation.

Shaving my goods before sex IS good manners, but The Manscaping Paradox says that I can’t shave if I want to smash. Damn. I

cheese paradox

since cheese has holes in it, the more cheese, the more holes. holes are not cheese, which means you have less cheese with more cheese. so, the more cheese you have, the less cheese you have.

you'd better tell shrek not to get too much cheese or else the cheese paradox might occur
