Whoever Makes Me Can Hear Me
Whoever makes me can hear me, but to all others I’m silent. What am I?
A thought in your head. You can hear it, but no one else can. Unless you read minds, but then you’d have bigger problems, like figuring how how to remain sane in large crowds.
I Turn Polar Bears White
I turn polar bears white
and I will make you cry.
I make guys have to pee
and girls comb their hair.
I make celebrities look stupid
and normal people look like celebrities.
I turn pancakes brown
and make your champagne bubble.
If you squeeze me, I’ll pop.
If you look at me, you’ll pop.
Can you guess the riddle?
The answer to this admittedly lame riddle is, “No.” The reason is that the question at the very end asks if you can guess the riddle and there is nothing that satisfies all of the riddles’ requirements.
Some say that pressure is the answer, but they can’t explain how it turns polar bears white or pancakes brown. Nothing turns polar bears white, any more than something turns a snowflake white and heat makes pancakes brown, not pressure.
Split Itself
What can split itself
before splitting something else?
Lightning. It looks like it’s splitting apart in the sky, and trees are split in half when struck by lightning.

No thicker than your finger when it folds.

Turn Into a Car, Building or Robot
I can turn into a car, building or even a robot. I’m man made and my siblings and I outnumber you sixty-two to one. My name means, “Play well” in my creator’s native tongue. What am I?
Legos. They can be turned into all sorts of things, including cars, building and robots. If you divided up all the legos ever made, each person on the planet would get 62. Lego is based on the Danish phrase leg godt which means, “play well”.
Celebrate, Hide Their Shame or Commit Crime
Some use me to celebrate,
Others use me to hide their shame,
Others use me to commit crime.
What am I?
Alcohol. People have a drink to celebrate, but also drink to hide their shame. Lastly, drunk driving is a crime.
A mask is also a valid answer. They can be used to celebrate Halloween or at dress-up parties, a mask can hide your shame and masks are used by thieves.
Update: This one has more valid answers than I thought. Money, drugs and night also work.
