If a snake has no nose nor balls, how does it smell?

Like a record company

I am

I am

But I will never hurt you.

What am I?

I can't think of a good one yet so here is one for fun:
Read and try to solve the riddle before looking at the spoiler answer...

Where do Vanished objects go?
Into Nonbeing, which is to say, everything

I am everything death isn't, yet I am nothing of life. What am I?
Nothing

I am small, but I can cause great devastation and fill a whole room. I can fade away, but I can never die.
Fire
*I think this one sucks... lol

Ok, off to thinking of a riddle for submission!

(Did I tell you I got stitches on my lip and inside my mouth today?)

Tell me how hard you think these are, if you actually tried to solve them.

Here is my submission:

A man with quite a bit of money was driving down a road, but by the time he got to his hotel, he was out of money.

How can this be?


Short, simple, you should be able to figure this out pretty quick. (No it has nothing to do with gas prices)

I had a riddle contest with some friends not to long ago :D
Here are some:

How far can one run into the forest?

A poor person is sitting next to a road, when a rich woman passes and gives the poor person a dollar. This rich woman is the poor person's sister, yet the poor person is not her sister. How can this be?

A man grabs a box of matches and walks into a dark room. The room contains a candle, a oil lamp, and a fireplace. What will the man light first?

Halfway; the poor one is her brother; the match.

All good riddles with a single good (albeit simple) answer. I enjoy riddles that use common sense to discover the solution, so hats off.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
