A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Which would be saying the truth. Which contradict itself.
No—if they were to ask you, you would lie and say “no”. So the claim that you’d make a true statement is still a lie.
No, it's a lie. They wouldn't say yes, so saying that they would say yes is a lie.
you don't need to say yes if someone asks you?
You won't have to lie to said question, but you'd have to tell the truth to do that... or that be a lie too... well, OC is partly right. But it isn't a surefire solution.
If your interlocutor end up asking you the question anyway, you either have to answer "yes", in which case OC told the truth and then you don't always lie, which means you lied to the answer (as you donlt always lie). Or you answer "No", which means you lied in OC, but told the truth as an answer.
Either way, there is no solution to this paradox. You cannot tell that you always lie without telling a truth.
