Tread on the living, they make not a mumble.
Tread on the dead, they mutter and grumble.

All the Men

One night four men sat down to play;

They played all night 'til break of day.

They played for gold and not for fun

With separate scores for everyone.

When it came time to square accounts,

All men had made quite fair amounts.

Can you the paradox explain,

If no man lost, how could all gain?

RealJohnGillman

They're musicians, playing instruments, reading different scores (sheet music). They were all paid by either listeners or whoever had them play.

Ooh, I heard a good one.

With pointed fangs and in plain sight, my bloodless victims are bound by my bite. What am I?

EDIT: Anyone wanna try this for a spell?

I am heavy forward, I weigh a lot. But when I am backwards I'm certainly not. What am I?

EDIT: Can do a third and final to stroke your spinal?

For some I cause joy, for some I cause strife. Treat me well and I last for life. What am I?

All the teas....

tea GIFGiphy

Two girls went to dinner together and both ordered iced tea. One girl pounded down five of them in about a minute, and the other took her time drinking one.

The girl who drank one died, while the girl who drank five survived. However, all of the drinks that were served turned out to contain poison.

Why did the girl that drank more iced tea survive?

Bullseye61

The poison was in the ice.

Windowless....

There is a windowless room with only a single door. Inside the room is a lamp, when the lamp is on no light escapes the room. Outside the room are 3 switches one of which operates the lamp. You can use the switches in any order any number of times. The door can only be opened once and after you enter the room you can immediately know which switch turns on the light. How is it possible?

Agarlis

Turn on the first switch, wait a few minutes.

Turn the first off and the second on.

Go into the room. If the light is on, it's the second switch. If it's off, touch it. If it's hot, it's the first switch, and if it's cold, it's the third.

To Sleep

The maker doesn't want it.

The buyer doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know it.

Not the 'best' but a fun one: A coffin.

What is it?

It is the beginning of eternity, the end of time and space.

It is the start of every end, the end of every place.

What is it?

I love this one because it is so simple but some people have struggled with it for days lol. It works best when spoken out loud rather then written out. Seeing it written makes it easier to solve because the answer to the riddle, is contained within the riddle itself.

Marco Rubio Awkwardly Dodges Question About Kimberly Guilfoyle's Blatant Corruption—As She's Standing Just Feet Away

Secretary of State Marco Rubio was criticized after he shut down a question about former Fox News host and current U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle following a Wall Street Journal report alleging that she engaged in illegal conduct.

The WSJ reported that Guilfoyle asked Eric Deters, a Trump donor and former congressional candidate, to cover $100,000 in credit card debt before her Senate confirmation hearings. The report said she contacted him through Signal, pressing him to arrange the payment that day and explaining how to send the funds directly to American Express.
