The next sentence is true.
The last sentence was false.

There is an invisible pink unicorn,
How do you prove it doesn't exist since you cannot see it?

Correction: Paradoxuri.

Also, assuming it gives off heat... Or you could try to touch it. Or it could make tracks.

If it does none of those

You could try to touch it, unless its an oldschool mythical unicorn, in which case it wouldn't think twice to attack and impale you.

Then it's not a question of whether it exists or not... It can't exist. So no need for proof.

If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is an intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time

This is way different as you do not specify that this teapot is invisible and doesn't give off heat, so I am going to assume it is both visible and gives off heat (which means it has energy and hence can actually exist)

Let's assume that you know no one here personally?Now with that in mind how can you prove any of us really exist?

If I am not a bot I will say I am not a bot.
If I am a bot I will say I am not a bot.
I am not a bot.
Can you prove I am not a bot?
Even more so, the human mind tends to see, feel, and hear what it wants to could anyone of us not be having a dream?And if one of us is having a dream do the rest of us truly exist?Or could one not simply be imagining what the rest of us are typing and...I forgot what I was typing
