So I had this imaginary friend named Bob who is really smart and has an IQ of 200. One day, I gave him the idea of creating a time machine, an idea that surprisingly enough he would never have thought of. He created the machine and time traveled back to before we met each other. Then, he accidentally killed me. So then, I died before I gave him the idea for creating a time machine. But then he never got the idea for creating the machine, never created it, and never killed me. So then since I survived up to giving him the idea, he created the machine and traveled back in time and killed me. But then he never got the idea and…

If one were to erase existence completely, then non-existence would then exist.
However, if non-existence exists, then existence would both exist and not exist.
Are we real?

Say that there's a lamp, and you have to switch it on and off in two minutes.
In one minute (1/2) you switch it on
In 30 seconds (1/2) you switch it off.
In 15 seconds (1/2) you switch it on again, and so on..
When two minutes pass, is the lamp on, or off?
The lamp will be off, because the bulb will have blown from switching it on and off so much.
It happened to a desk lamp of mine once.
There's Great
News, and then there's BAD 
News. The great news is that the evil kumquats have given up on eating signatures!
The BAD news is (removed by guavas - bow down to your guava overlords).

What if reality is fake? What if we live in an artificial reality controlled by evil AI overlords?

True or false: the answer to this question is false.
If you say true, it is incorrect because then the answer to the question is true
If you say false, you are denying that the answer is false, making it true
But it can't be true, so it's false

They argue with umpires, they cheer when they've won,
And they practice beforehand, which ruins the fun!

So I had this imaginary friend named Bob who is really smart and has an IQ of 200. One day, I gave him the idea of creating a time machine, an idea that surprisingly enough he would never have thought of. He created the machine and time traveled back to before we met each other. Then, he accidentally killed me. So then, I died before I gave him the idea for creating a time machine. But then he never got the idea for creating the machine, never created it, and never killed me. So then since I survived up to giving him the idea, he created the machine and traveled back in time and killed me. But then he never got the idea and…My question is, if he's your imaginary friend, how the heck did he build a time machine.
This story is 100% fiction.

Because I said so, and you are all under orders to believe what I say.
Also this is an imaginary alternate universe where imaginary friends exist.

Why not just say your friend instead of your imaginary friend? Sorry if I seem picky about this, but it is a good paradox. Kind of like the one where you go back in time to kill your grandpa, but then you were never born etc.Because this is imagination landThat is a very good point.So I had this imaginary friend named Bob who is really smart and has an IQ of 200.
