Again this doesn’t help your case

[May]

What’re you prosecuting me for

[Litten]

You used a gun

[May]

What? No. That’s nothing. You can’t shoot someone that’s nothing

[Magnus]

@Magnus

Imagine it’s a Christmas. A young child is visited by Santa and is given two presents: a Soccer ball and a bicycle, but the kid wasn’t happy. Why not?

Responses

Summary

@TodaysStory

easy. no limbs

@Litten

They found out Santa isn’t real

@benguinedparbecue

this is just a fundamental attribution error test. clearly the kid already has a soccer ball and a bicycle (or the bike isn’t their size and it’s clearly just for the parent who bought it)

@May

The child has undiagnosed chronic pain and all forms of exercise are deeply and intensely miserable and they assumed their whole life that other people who seemed to enjoy them were just particularly masochistic.

@Hazardwaste

Because he is in a wheel chair paralysed from the waist down.

@Magnus

You are robbing a house in the dead of night. The homeowner leaves their bedroom and sees you, and runs to hide in the closet. You see this happen, and you have a knife. What do you do?

Responses

Summary

@Litten

barricade the closet

@benguinedparbecue

if they didn’t see my face i’m just moving on and finding another house. not worth the murder charges i just came there to steal shit

@May

It’s the dead of night, the light is off, I’m smart enough to rob a stranger instead of someone I know. There’s no reason to upgrade this to a risk of a murder charge when them tattling won’t do all that much damage. When I leave the room, they’re likely to call the cops, so gotta be careful on the way out, but… like… I’m not gonna stab them LOL

@TodaysStory

leave, steal their car, ditch it in the woods and hitch hike home

@Hazardwaste

Leave him be. take what you need and destroy nothing of sentimental value and leave.

@Magnus

You live in an apartment on the fifth floor, still late at night. Before heading to bed, you look out the window and witness a murderer killing someone in an adjacent building. This killer sees you as well. Immediately, the killer points at you and flicks their finger up and down a few times. What is the killer signalling?

Responses

Summary

@May

Do they want me to not be a witness? Most people killing people have some motive and aren’t just doing it to kill people. I doubt it means I’m next. Turning out the lights doesn’t help me not be a witness, really, though.

@Litten

Why would they be flicking their finger up and down anyway

@benguinedparbecue

it might be a “you’re next if you report this” symbol but. how the fuck are they gonna get to me i’m on the fifth floor. can’t get to me by window. if i lock and barricade the door you’re not getting in bozo

@Magnus

Imagine that you and your family go to your aunt’s funeral. Everyone’s mourning, but while you’re there, you meet a stranger. You hit it off immediately, you become instant friends. This stranger has black hair and wears dark clothing, as befitting funeral wear. The next night, you kill your cousin. Why?

Responses

Summary

@May

Cousin’s fiance

@TodaysStory

see the stranger again?

@Litten

You grew attached to this stranger, however, this stranger was going home and you were scared yoy were never going to see each other again

@benguinedparbecue

it’s possible that you were just a psychopath already. may have even been the one to kill your aunt in the first place. and the guy’s just a red herring. maybe the guy was shinigami giving you the death note and you just really don’t like your cousin. as in the jd scenario the death could just be a complete accident. too many possible answers.

@Hazardwaste

if the stranger was a real person then I would have just asked for their number but the way this is set out you can only see the stranger at funerals in turn. You are committing a murder cause you want to see the embodiment of the grim reaper again.

@Atlas

i think the fourth is because the cousin got the inheritance

@Magnus

You’re walking through the woods, and it’s pitch black, but you have your phone to light your way. You hear a stick crack behind you and you spin around to see what it is. Which one do you see?

1. Someone who looks attractive or trustworthy.
2. A domesticated canine.
3. A wild animal.
4. A scary ghost.
5. You’re walking through the woods, nothing’s there.

Responses

Summary

@benguinedparbecue

3. ghosts can’t crack sticks, why would a domesticated canine show up out of nowhere, and i don’t trust 1 to happen. 5 is the dead man’s answer

@Litten

It’s probably just 5

@Hazardwaste

1. If its through the woods at night you wouldnt wanna go by yourself. you would bring along company. someone you trust and someone you hold dear.

@May

If it genuinely is a stick cracking and I’m not inventing things… actually, in my part of the woods, dogs are the more likely animal to see around, most other things don’t get too close. If I’m seeing it with the light of my phone up and it’s not running off, 2.

@ElizaThePsycho

5

@Magnus

Imagine that a psychopathic murderer stabs a victim five times in an elevator. After stabbing them, the murderer leaves the elevator. However, this elevator has glass windows. The murderer simply stands there outside the elevator, staring at the bleeding body within, instead of fleeing the scene. Why?

Responses

Summary

@Atlas

to act if they were shocked at their death?

@May

Just fun to watch. If I stabbed someone in broad daylight there are already witnesses I wanna see it happen

@Hazardwaste

Willy wonka stabs a oompa loompa to death and then waits on the outside so the other oompa loompas can sing about the death of one of them as punishment

@Litten

To make sure they are dead? I don’t understand why they wouldn’t just stab more

@benguinedparbecue

i’d like to change my answer to “sending the elevator to another floor” (or add it to the list of answers since clearly i can have multiple)

[Magnus]

I’m going to post a better image, that might give it away.

[May]

You’re so far away from them it’s so impersonal

[Hazardwaste]

you missed my answer

[May]

You don’t even have to touch them.

[benguinedparbecue]

i’d like to change my answer to “sending the elevator to another floor” (or add it to the list of answers since clearly i can have multiple)

[Litten]

Maybe they are just waiting for a new elevator

[Magnus]

Gotcha.

[May]

Benguined’s answer sounds like the solution to the riddle but my answer sounds like what I would say so I’m going to stick to “for sexual reasons”

[Litten]

A murderer wouldn’t be on the scene of the crime - this genius when he’s caught by the police
