Nougat ,

This being posted in nottheonion is a perfect example of Russell's Paradox.

testfactor ,

Looked that up because I didn’t know what it was. I think maybe you named the wrong name? Russell’s Paradox is some set theory mumbo jumbo.

DaMonsterKnees ,

OK, so am I smart ape? Is this the definition? Did I crack the case?

Nougat ,

"The set of all sets which do not contain themselves."

testfactor ,

Ah, yeah. That makes sense. I’m just dumb, lol.

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

We’re all dumb, some of us are just self aware enough to realize it.

Who is upvoting this? Russell’s Paradox is about groups containing all the members that don’t belong to said group.

Not the Onion hosting an article about the effect of The Onion is humorously close to that.

Nougat ,

No, but also yes.

I have been reading about this for 20 minutes now and I still don’t get it. I especially don’t get how it has to do with this article.
