I just realized there is absolutely no way to say 'i always lie'.

  “If you were to ask me if I always lie, I would say ‘yes’.”

    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 t’es if someone asks you?

  On the other hand, anyone who tells you, “I always tell the truth,” is probably lying.

    when pachino said I always tell the truth even when I lie, though, that was pretty damn honest.

  Unfortunately you are wrong as there is a very distinct way to say the phrase you quoted, that being to utter the words “I always lie.”

  You can say the statement. Doesn’t mean the statement is true. You might be a habitual liar and that particular statement is a lie.

  this statement is false

  • Xylight@lemmy.xylight.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I’ll go with true.

      A fun detail is that all the franken cubes fry and die after hearing the paradox, but Wheatley is still fine.

      but then it wouldn’t be false

  “I don’t always lie.” wink

  • Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    “I lie a lot” would also work.

  Except for this statement, I always lie.

• davidgro@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  “Starting at the moment this statement ends, I will always lie.”

  source

  • Kolanaki@yiffit.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    How do I know that wasn’t a lie and that you will occasionally still be telling the truth?

    source

    • davidgro@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      You’d just have to trust me.

  i always lie

  I’m a compulsive liar.

  “Me? I’m dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It’s the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they’re going to do something incredibly… stupid.”

  Couldn’t you just say that you’re a politician? IMO that would be close enough.

  source
• ladicius@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Technically you can’t always lie (“always” is the key here) so the statement can’t be true. Besides that you can say the words in that specific order, no problem.

  source
• derekabutton@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Not quite. You missed the fact that it doesn’t need to be the entire statement. “I always lie when I say that the sky is green”

  source
• nieceandtows@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I don’t think that’s a problem because it’s impossible to ‘always’ lie and not be noticed. I don’t even know it’s possible to always lie. May be most of the time, but then you can say ‘i lie most of the time’ without any issues
