>>18614769FORTUNE.
>>18614773Judges say: Acceptable!
>>18614769Fame
>>18614777THERE SHOULD BE A DEFINITIVE ANSWER.IS IT FORTUNE, OR NOT?
>>18614797I don't think so. I was thinking luck, but fortune works too.
>>18614800SAME THING.«LUCK» IS THE GERMANICAL WORD; «FORTUNE» IS THE LATINICAL WORD.I INFERRED CORRECTLY.WHAT DO I WIN?
>>18614830That'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?
>>18614844i 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.
>>18614844The truth?If it's that, I'm gonna be pissed off.
>>18614878>>18614915Well, 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.
>>18614942I guess I should have said: I consume while I cook. But, this was going to be easy regardless of that little extra vagueness.
>>18614942>>18614965FIRE.
>>18614986Yup.

>>18615027An angel? A guardian angel?
>>18615056YES.
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.>>18615091the passing of time
>>18615097Yes.
>>18614830Luck comes From "Glück"If anyone forgot.
>>18615097The past? I figure it's time related but not actually time.
>>18615097Desert.The knowledge it teaches us, comes from Paleontology.
>>18615118At that point, it may as well just be Egypt.
>>18615118And yes, of course I meant Gobekli Tepe
>>18615120It 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.
>>18615097A map. Good one.
>>18615126this was on purpose, i thought it might make you think of power and wrong concepts like that>>18616332yes. but in hindsight i think maybe it's ambiguous, an encyclopedia could fit too
>>18615137innovation? the concept of an idea?>>18615170seems too general, i guess it's consciousnes but could be religion, god, mind-controlling aliens
>>18615170happiness
>>18615137Inspiration?
>>18616373>>18616566Free Will.I figured it had wiggle room, but I wasn't sure how much. I was figuring some to say God.
>>18614769Hey OP, I have a riddle for you, what smells rotten and puts people to sleep?
