Be prepared, I'm about to turn into a nerd. 🤓

So, Pinocchio sais "my nose will grow now" his nose grows when he tells a lie, and since he hasn't told a lie yet, it won't happen. But, by saying his nose will grow, that is a lie. BUT, by his nose growing, he is telling the truth, and the process repeats. HOWEVER, if Pinocchio said "my nose will grow now" he technically doesn't know for sure if his nose will grow, therefore, he is saying "my nose will grow now" as an abbreviation rather then a fact. So, in that case if Pinocchio were to say "my nose will grow now" it wouldn't grow due to his statement not having a real answer.

Also, when Pinocchio says “My nose is about to grow.” The lie is said before the actual curse happens. Now you might be thinking “But since it happened his lie is true!” Well, when Pinocchio said “about to”, it means that this could have happened in a time period that is short, but since time is relative, we have no actual idea when this would’ve happened. Therefore, the “about to” is nullified and the actual statement would be “My nose will grow”, which is a lie considering his nose did not grow at that exact moment, therefore causing the curse after the lie.

Hold up, I just thought of something; hear me out:

If Pinocchio says that something will happen that hasn’t happened yet, he could predict the future. If he says something will happen and it will in the future, his nose won’t grow. If he says something will happen in the future but it won’t, his nose will grow. With this logic, he could guess what will happen in the future. Heck, with that logic, he could guess what is happening at that moment, meaning that he could know what is happening (provided he guesses correctly, which is unlikely, but not impossible)

I just realized that someone said what I said here. Ah, well, at least I had fun making the theory

He could say god is real, and if it grew he is. If not, god doesn't exist. His undeniable proof of the fabric of the universe is so surreal and manipulative, the wars he could begin and chaos he could cause could literally end the world. Pinocchio is one of, if not the, most powerful character in a fairy tale to ever exist.

It would be a lie so the nose will grow, Because it only grows when he lies. But since it's not a lie anymore, It would shrink. But now it's a lie, So it will grow back again.

Think about it. He says that I will be rich, and his nose grows, so I know that I won't be rich. He says that you will die in the next 5 minutes and his nose doesn't grow, you will be dead in the next 5 minutes.

Nono, Just use logic. It's not honesty. It's a prediction. And if the prediction turns out to not be correct you can't call Pinochio a liar beacause it was just a prediction that his nose will grow

You can argue this is just a prediction, but if he says " I'm lying right now" then the real paradox begins

As with many paradoxes, applying real-world logic, common meaning of words or phrases, or knowledge of the circumstances surrounding a paradox provide a solution that avoids the problem. For this paradox, one can simply put forth that Pinocchio's nose will only grow when he is being intentionally dishonest, as the purpose of its properties is as a lesson in proper character. This means the statement "My nose grows now" is not a lie, but a false prediction. For example, the properties of Pinocchio's nose cannot be used to determine the validity of scientific theories or to predict the future by having him make a claim such as "A meteorite will fall to Earth in 2023." Since there is no solution to this paradox, he cannot intentionally lie about the result. A false prediction is not a lie, therefore Pinocchio's nose will not grow.[citation needed
