With pointed fangs I sit and wait; with piercing force I crunch out fate; grabbing victims, proclaiming my might; physically joining with a single bite. What am I?

It's a good guess, but not the answer I'm looking for. This version of the riddle makes it slightly more clear which direction the answer goes:

With pointed fangs I sit and wait, with piercing force I serve out fate. Grabbing bloodless victims, proclaiming my might; physically joining with a single bite. What am I?

@lazyKatz

It's an interesting guess, I do think ''stapler'' works a little better as an answer.

@CYC135

Good guess! I do think stapler is a bit more accurate though.

I do love all the alternative answers, I suppose the victims could be ''bloodless'' after the vampires are done with them too ๐Ÿ˜‡

When held I go from side to side
When freestanding I oscillate
And when I am on a ceiling
Thatโ€™s when you will see me rotate

Who or what am I?

It's a fan. Ours is on the highest setting at the moment. The rain in bRitAIN is conspicuous by its absence.๐ŸŒž

If you remove one from eleven, it becomes ten. If you remove one from nine, it becomes ten too. How is this possible?

lazyKatz June 18th, 2023

@DarkWolf

Husband reckons they are Roman numerals. 11 is XI. Removing 1 gives you just X or ten. Nine is expressed as IX, so again removing 1 you are again left with X or ten.

@DarkWolf
