GIRAFFES: That's Where I'm a Viking!

what

Well, that answers one giraffe question I had.

oh wait, there's a bit in the article where it explains why a giraffe is involved:

"The way it is being passed around Facebook is that someone will post this as their status and have you send a private message with the answer. If you get it right; good for you. If you get it wrong, then you've got to change your profile picture to a giraffe for a week."

it means that he literally becomes a viking in his dreams

The answer is obviously eyes

Voted MN

oh, and you're not provided with a set of answers, you're supposed to guess on your own

FUCK, THE GIRAFFE PUZZLE WAS RUINED FOR ME

If you ever want to live like a viking, like I do, be a part-time FB admin for a family and parenting magazine.

'your eyes' is incorrect because as per the terms of the riddle you are already awake

The tale of Pastor Jeremiah Steepek posing as homeless: True, but not really

xxxxpost yeah, that's the dumbest part of the whole thing.

anywho I say "the door" is right, cuz the riddle says you've already woken up, and presumably, your eyes are already open! and how the fuck do you know its your parents unless they screamed it through the door or you already 'opened your eyes' and looked through the peephole? and what kind of parents drive to their kids' house at 3 am to demand breakfast?

No, no sir, this doesn't add up at all!

what about the TRUE mystery - which giraffe is taller?!?!

voted "amoebic dysentery" obv.

wd like to point out that "wake up" does not necessarily imply your eyes are already open but fuck it, what's the use.

what is the first thing you think of when you look at that clip?

Wine is also an acceptable answer.

the wine is always open.

not immediately, no, but in the time it took for you to discover (somehow) that your parents were at the door, I'd assume they'd have opened? maybe people wake up differently, but for me, my eyes are open nanoseconds after I wake up.

the wine is always open.

"You are awake, therefore your eyes are already open" is an assumption that is not borne out by the statement of the riddle. The instigating event is "someone wakes you up" and there is no clarification/specification re: being downstairs or at the door before the question "what's the first thing you open?" needs to be answered. The answer is "your eyes".

what if you typically answer the door with your eyes closed?

The only defensible argument for "the door" is if you sleep with your eyes open

it doesn't matter, you only need to acknowledge that "wake up" does not necessarily imply "eyes open" to render the whole thing a load of bollocks

what if the house isn't your house

what if you typically answer the door with your eyes closed?

Then by your own logic the answer is "your mouth" unless you are arguing that you open the door with your eyes closed without asking "who is it?"

between this and bitstrips, i'm selling my facebook stock.

I would accept door or eyes. Eyes is the stronger answer. The only reason for the detail about being woken up at 3 am is to point to eyes. Without that detail, it would be door.

my man

Who says I sleep at 3am?

The first thing I open is my fist so I can slap the face of my parents for thinking 3AM is the time to visit for breakfast.

toilet bears!

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Fuck the parents in this riddle

It’s 3 a.m.

wtf

Also how do I know it's your parents if they're unexpected and how do you know they want breakfast if yr asleep

Yeah, by the time I know they want breakfast, my eyes and the door are already open. And the question isn't "what was the first thing you opened?"

i assume the answer is a giraffe not gonna read to find out why or how
