Q: What is a time paradox?
A: It's when you realize you've been living the same day over and over again, and you still haven't gotten a decent cup of coffee.
Q: Why does it happen?
A: Because the space-time continuum is a real party pooper, and it's just not that into you, okay?
Q: How do I fix it?
A: Um, try not thinking about it, I guess. Or just pretend you're living in a parallel universe where it's not happening. That usually works, right?
Q: What are some common time paradoxes?
A: Well, there's the classic 'Grandfather Clause', where you remember everything your grandfather told you as a kid, but he's actually a time-traveling robot from the future.
Or the 'Predestination Paradox', where you're forced to watch reruns of 'Days of Our Lives' for eternity.
Or the 'Novikov Self-Consistency Principle', which is just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo about causality and stuff.
