The Astley paradox.

If you ask Rick Astley for his copy of Disney Pixar’s Up, he can’t give it to you, because he’ll never give you Up. But by not doing so, you’d be let down, and he’ll never let you down.

Testing this scenario is ofc incredibly risky to the state of our reality, so the Astley paradox must remain a thought experiment.
