Riddles!
This topic is about short riddles, because not everyone likes to do the larger logical puzzles. If you do like those, then click here.
If you've guessed the riddle, you can immediately post another one yourself. Let's keep it going.
I will start with this riddle:
What is easy to get into, but hard to get out of?
Say my name and I disappear
What am I?
@humorousDay8793
Silence

@humorousDay8793

I build up castles, I tear down mountains.
I make some men blind, I help others to see.
What am I?
@humorousDay8793
Sand
There are those who seek me a lifetime but never do we meet, and those I kiss but who trample me beneath ungrateful feet.
At times I seem to favor the clever and the fair, but I bless all those who are brave enough to dare.
By large my ministrations are soft-handed and sweet, but scorned I become a difficult beast to defeat.
For though each of my strikes lands a powerful blow, when I kill I do it slow.
What am I?
@lifeonthewater
Are you Choices?
@humorousDay8793
No.
@humorousDay8793
The answer is love

@beyondrepairs let's bring it back !!!
what's black when you get it, red when you use it, and white when you're done with it?
@zmm
Coal, you buy it black, you burn it red and hopefully you are left with white greyish ashes...
@beyondrepairs correct!! i thought this one was really clever when i first heard it.
@zmm
It is clever...
@zmm fuel
@zmm Just for zest, I'd say shrimps . Grayish black when you buy them, red when you cook them, and white as your empty plate when you're done with them!
@gregariousAcai1247
White is their meat after you open their red cooked shell, good one...very good...
