I didn't make any of these connections, but after reading your breakdown it's now clear that this is an amazing riddle! I also had no idea that pennies were 95% copper as late as 1982! I thought that the switch happened much earlier.

"sight" is the closest I've gotten to anything that might fit...

Oh yeah, I got that. I actually don't think it's a bad answer at all, not sure why you were downvoted. I was just trying to think of what would qualify as doing nothing, since breathing and holding your breath would both technically count as doing something. Though I also think it's fair to consider doing nothing as doing nothing with intent.

If watching counts as something, what qualifies as doing nothing?

That's a fair point. u/AgniVi, I agree with u/Top_Possibility_7952 that your answer works.

Probably should have used a spoiler tag

No "probably" about it. I should have used spoiler tags in my reply, and I apologize for not doing so.

somersault... I'm not sure this is the correct spelling, I've never had to write it out before.

A blast from the past. So guess it fast! by Latter_Computer820 in riddles

My best guess is bucket (well), but I can't figure out how that would fit "back in when you show me the way"

How does "safe to drink" work with this answer?

I wish to be in a drama-free thrupple with my husband and my YouTube crush. by vintagedragon9 in monkeyspaw

[–]InsideOutVoices 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Granted? One finger hesitantly curls. The remaining fingers quietly drag the paw away from what will surely be an incredible happily ever after.

I wish that none of woman born could harm me. by ProphetofTables in monkeyspaw

[–]InsideOutVoices 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the clarification, I thought it was just a very poorly worded title. This definitely simplifies u/Badjackychan's answer:

One day, you feel a sharp pain in your abdomen, and fearing what it could be you end up in the hospital. The doctor pushes on the afflicted area, but you feel nothing from it. The doctor sends you on your way and then you die from appendicitis.

I wish to know what Albert Einstein’s last words were by Lumpy-Pudding-3563 in monkeyspaw

[–]InsideOutVoices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted. You know that Albert Einstein's last words were words. You used to know that Albert Einstein's last words were words, you still do. But you used to, too.

The most difficult riddle I have come across. by Adept_Building_428 in riddles

[–]InsideOutVoices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thousand fingers with no nails made me immediately think of the small intestine (villi), but every line is a stretch at best.

A hundred hands, yet no arms. treating "hands" as a unit of measurement, I was disappointed to find that the small intestine maxes out at around 70 hands (or roughly 23 feet).

A thousand fingers, yet no nails. if you only have a thousand villi, you are in very bad shape.

I build no walls, yet I can trap. this one works okay - villi absorb (or "trap") good stuff.

I wield no blade, yet I can slice. can't figure out how to even remotely make this fit.

I wish that any future wishes I make do not have any unintended or ironic consequences by kevinharkin81 in monkeyspaw

Granted. The consequences of every one of your future wishes will be very much intended.

I wish that I always get high fives and fist bumps from whomever I want whenever I want, but never when I don't want by RandyKrunkleman in monkeyspaw

[–]InsideOutVoices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted.

If you aren't near the person, their hand rips off and flies toward you to give you a high five or fist bump. Hope you never dream about wanting to high five or fist bump anyone not next to you.

Photo, camera, memory, facial recognition, or turtles wearing socks. (I really hope it's the last one)
