Reach for the moon!
If he says it's about to grow, as in not right now, then he could technically be truthful. If he said "My nose will grow because of this statement", then he's screwed and his head explodes into a shower of pine needles sharp enough to kill anyone else in the room

It's clearly this, the nose thing is an externalization of his own sense of dishonesty, it's not a detector of Philosophical Truths. If he said it sincerely believing it would happen, then it wouldn't, but if he said it to be a sneaky little poo poo trying to game the system, it would grow.

this is indefinitely weaponizable

he could say "you're going to die of a heart attack in 5 seconds or my nose is about to grow"

he's basically a death note

whoever said they could beat him in a fight, retract immediately

He’s made out of pine and since he’s a boy (nose not that big in diameter) I’m not sure how great harvesting his nose wood would be for anything

I'm comin' for you, colonel.



If his nose could grow indefinitely and be harvested where does the wood come from? Does his body create mass from nothing? And does that mass disappear once he’s gone a sufficient amount of time without lying? Does the wood you harvested disappear?

None of this poo poo makes any sense.

Lying and being wrong are two different things.

Otherwise Pinocchio could say something like "There is an afterlife" and get a definitive answer.

Late at night Geppetto says a prayer and crosses himself and takes out of a box an eyeless mouthless wooden head with only a nose.

He put its on the floor and squats over its face

If Pinocchio dies do Christians believe he will go to heaven? Is Pinocchio damned?

Hey guys, I just had this totally original thought, since God is all powerful can he create something so big that he can't move it?

Does Pinnochio even have a dick? Geppetto's motivations have always been at least a little suspect, but if he carved Pinnochio a dick then there is no doubt about what he was up to. That makes the theme about obeying your parents a little troubling.

In the book Geppetto has a reputation for abusing young boys and Pinocchio gets him arrested.

Ok, so the paradox triggers a causality failure and a resultant total matter energy conversion.

Small puppet weighs, what 10kg.

That's about a 200 Megaton blast OP

Before conductiong the experiment, stand well back. At least one continent length away.

Pinnochio was a real piece of poo poo. Just an irredeemable rear end in a top hat at every moment. How I hate him.

I was introduced to the Disney Pinnochio first as a kid. Then my mom borrowed an audio tape with the real story for me at the library and it made me so scared I had to turn it off before getting all the way through. I think it was a scene where someone threatens to throw Pinnochio into a fire.

The nose is the dick why else do you think it gets longer and thicker and starts dripping

I prefer the Japanese version where he's a pipe-dwelling golem that grows when he eats mushrooms. Mushroom or 'shiitake' means 'falsehood' of 'subterfuge', depending on the translation
