It actually is a paradox, just not a cool one.
It isn't, because there is only something preventing both from happening. It would be a paradox if both were also forced to happen.
# Your mission is not to accept the mission. Do you accept?
No. The mission is now complete. I no longer need to accept it.
# If the temperature this morning is 0 degrees and the Weather Channel says, "it will be twice as cold tomorrow", what will the temperature be?
Unless that's in degrees Kelvin, just cut that temperature in half. If it is, the weatherman is a liar.
# Answer truthfully (yes or no) to the following question: Will the next word you say be 'no'?
Umm... No.

Genius.

Thomson Lamp paradox
We have a perfect machine for turning a light on and off. First, we have the light on for one minute, after which it is turned off for one half of a minute. Then it is on again for one fourth of a minute and off for one eighth of a minute. This continues with the light turned on or off after one half of the preceding time period. After two full minutes an infinite sequence of offs and ons will have occured. At this time, will the light be on or off?
Neither it would be Half way.

Neither it would be Half way.
There is no "Half way" when it comes to lights.

Genius.

My light switch can get stuck to halfway xD

Key word.
That doesn't answer the question though.

The switch does, but is the light itself on or off?

Why time-travling to change the past is impossible: It creates a paradox, as said in the OP

What is typed below is true.
What is typed above is false.

What is typed below is true.

*Ahem*
The sentence below is a lie.
The sentence above is true.


but who thought of it first?

The switch does, but is the light itself on or off?

the bulb blows up

This sentence is a lie.
That avatar is mine and that saying is mine. :<
