    Well there’s a discrete number of hairs on that rodent thing, depending how the barber rounds they’ll have to cut the last hair eventually. Unless they only cut half of the last hair?

      … then they cut one half of the remaining half.

          Finite number of atoms as well, and yet scientists can split those too.

            At this point you’re splitting hairs… wait…

            I mean technically there isn’t a finite number of atoms because there isn’t a finite number of anything because everything is part of the same energy field with varied energy states caught in self reinforcing patterns and when you “split” an atom you simply break the pattern allowing rapid entropy to a stable state.

            Tldr: the solution to this paradox is that it is impossible to split anything in half, you can only rearrange it.
