The milk paradox::::
The average human body holds 10 gallons of water. So, theoretically, if you drink 5 gallons of milk a day, are you 50% milk?

5 not 50% of 15

OMG this isn’t a paradox.

Is a murder of crows still a murder if there’s ONLY 9,999 of them? Yes! Is it a murder if there’s 3,000 of them? 100? 20? It ceases to be a murder when it hits the groupings. Once there are a pair or a singular crow, it simply is a crow, or crows. Same applies to sand, it’s still a heap unless not visible to the naked eye as a heap. Once it is not visible, it ceases to be a heap

#15 you can't have infinite dots. What is infinity anyway?

#23 no, because the human body doesn’t hold milk it will go out of your body

You have 2 snakes. They are infinitely long. One of them tries to swallow the other. It can't. Will it be infinitely biting the other snake?

“Heap” is a concept, not an exact measurement. What lies within the bounds of a “heap”s definition is up to the observer of the said “heap”.

The Raven Paradox

"All ravens are black" is logically equivalent to "All non-black things are non-ravens." So, if you see a green apple (a non-black, non-raven), that would technically give evidence that all ravens are black. This highlights a flaw in how we define inductive evidence.

Heaps are precarious.
