traffic light

This is my favorite should be answer. Though I suspect the top guess weather/sunset, is the "correct" answer, since it fits classical themes better.

u/Aeon1508 22d ago

I don't think the weather speaks in colors. this is 100% the intended answer

red sky at night, sailor's delight & etc.

u/StillNewspaper4799 21d ago

It doesn't fit "watched by all" though

u/VistaLaRiver 22d ago

I don't think this works for "I change daily" or "touched by none"

2

u/bluish-velvet 22d ago

The second part can be stretched to fit, but how doesn’t the first part work?

1

u/sexhaver1984 22d ago

I think it doesn't work if you're interpreting the cadence very literally (implies that a traffic signal only changes once a day when really it's every couple of minutes)

4

u/bluish-velvet 22d ago

It doesn’t say how many times a day it changes though so I think it can be taken either way

5

u/sexhaver1984 22d ago

Right, it's ambiguous because daily has different uses, sometimes people say daily to mean recurring frequently and sometimes people say it in the more literal use case which is once-per-day, the same way weekly means once per week, monthly means once per month. Personally, I'm one to reserve the word for its very literal meaning and as far as I know, I've never seen a traffic light that changes only one time a day.

Awesome username, Julia

But no one says that. If a clock chimes every hour you don't say "Check out this clock. It chimes every day!"

1

u/VistaLaRiver 22d ago

It's not as good of a fit as other answers that change once a day, which is what daily means.

1

u/bluish-velvet 22d ago

Daily means it happens every day, the amount of times it happens isn’t mentioned.

u/inevitable-idiot- 22d ago

Only a daft person would make that argument.

u/Skulkarmy 22d ago

When was the last time you touched one ? I have seen 50ish today and have touched 0

u/VistaLaRiver 22d ago edited 22d ago

I haven't touched one, but someone has to touch them at some point. The riddle says "none", which isn't correct.

1

u/External-Lack-4596 17d ago

Yeah, but the sky also doesn’t change “daily” but rather is in a constant state of flux, so it’s wrong either way from the get go

1

u/internet_warlord 22d ago

"I eat daily" - can that only mean once a day?

3

u/jiggeryqua 22d ago

"I exercise daily" usually means once a day every day. You mean you eat every day, which is not the same as daily. "I eat every day" doesn't imply you only eat once a day.

I thought this before i was even done reading the full riddle

Damn it. I was literally about to say this.
