Let's have a thread about riddles.
I'll start.
I grant graces and at times arrive unexpectedly, but am always fleeing. What am I?
>>
>>18614769


FORTUNE.
>>
>>18614773
Judges say: Acceptable!
>>
>>18614769
Fame
>>
>>18614777


THERE SHOULD BE A DEFINITIVE ANSWER.

IS IT FORTUNE, OR NOT?
>>
>>18614797
I don't think so. I was thinking luck, but fortune works too.
>>
>>18614800


SAME THING.

«LUCK» IS THE GERMANICAL WORD; «FORTUNE» IS THE LATINICAL WORD.

I INFERRED CORRECTLY.

WHAT DO I WIN?

That's why I accepted it as an answer, dingaling.
>WHAT DO I WIN?
Nothing.
Now, shoo, you sperg!
>>
RIDDLE ME THIS, OR I WILL DIDDLE YOU WITH THAT:


I AM UGLY AND COLD; I WEAR ONLY A VEIL.

EVERYONE LOOKS FOR ME, AND NOONE WANTS TO LOOK AT ME.

EVERYONE CLAIMS TO KNOW ME, BUT DENY ME WHEN THEY MEET ME.

WHO AM I?
>>
>>18614844
i didn't get it but the fucking ai got it, i fucking hate the future
>>
THE FIRST ONE WHO INFERS CORRECTLY SHOULD POST A RIDDLE.
>>
>>18614844
The truth?
If it's that, I'm gonna be pissed off.
>>
>>18614878
>>18614915
Well, I guess I add another one. But, it's gonna be easy.
I cook and consume. I can rage and be quelled. I can be pitted against myself. What am I?
>>
>>18614915

>The truth?


YES.
>>
>>18614942
I guess I should have said: I consume while I cook. But, this was going to be easy regardless of that little extra vagueness.
>>
>>18614942
>>18614965


FIRE.
>>
>>18614986
Yup.
>>
A FUCKING RIDDLE:


I SEE EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO; I REPORT EVERYTHING.

I SEE EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOU; I DO NOTHING.

I NEVER LEAVE YOU; YOU MAY AS WELL BE ALONE.

TO PROTECT, MY PROFESSION; TO SPY, MY OCCUPATION.

WHO AM I?
>>
>>18615027
An angel? A guardian angel?
>>
>>18615056


YES.
>>
I wait for no one, but everyone is expected by me.
>>
i've spent half an hour or more on this and still i think it's pretty bad but i hope it's not too hard and not too easy:

I have oceans void of water,
my rivers are completely dry.
I possess entire kingdoms,
But no head to fit a crown.
My true wealth is my knowledge,
which i teach without a mouth.

>>18615091
the passing of time
>>
>>18615097
Yes.
>>
>>18614830
Luck comes From "Glück"
If anyone forgot.
>>
>>18615097
The past? I figure it's time related but not actually time.
>>
>>18615097
Desert.
The knowledge it teaches us, comes from Paleontology.
>>
>>18615118
At that point, it may as well just be Egypt.
>>

>>18615118
And yes, of course I meant Gobekli Tepe
>>
>>18615120
It posesses "entire kingdoms", so my idea was - Egyptian, Sumerian, Persian and anything from Western Sahara to the Persian Mountains.

Riddle me this, anon:

No entry, keyhole or even lid.
Yet biggest treasure in it - is hid',
No door, no key, no lock of brass,
But rule the world it does, alas.

No precious gems - or carve of stone.
It once appears, and then is gone.
It rules the will, exists en masse.
& it invented - the Zyklon Gas.
>>
My existence is questioned, but I am believed by many to be the reason why anyone does anything.
>>
>>18615097
A map. Good one.
>>
>>18615126
this was on purpose, i thought it might make you think of power and wrong concepts like that

>>18616332
yes. but in hindsight i think maybe it's ambiguous, an encyclopedia could fit too
>>
>>18615137
innovation? the concept of an idea?

>>18615170
seems too general, i guess it's consciousnes but could be religion, god, mind-controlling aliens
>>
>>18615170
happiness
>>
>>18615137
Inspiration?
>>
>>18616373
>>18616566
Free Will.
I figured it had wiggle room, but I wasn't sure how much. I was figuring some to say God.

Hey OP, I have a riddle for you, what smells rotten and puts people to sleep?
>>
>>18616789
My thread?
I'm the guy that stinks, huh?
Real nice of you, ya fuckin' plebian.
>>
>>18616780
Oh, wait. You >>18616373 did say god. Nevermind.
You were in the ballpark.
