Okay this one is easy because you've probably already heard it but try anyway, dammit
The maker doesn't need it; the buyer doesn't want it; the user never sees it. What is it?
Probably
a casket
or something

your = belonging to you

except it's a dumb riddle because the coffin-maker will need a coffin eventually, and lots of people pick out their own coffin before they die

Then all thy feculent majesty recalls
The nauseous mustiness of forsaken bowers
The leprous nudity of deserted halls
The positive nastiness of sullied flowers
And I mark the colours, yellow and black
That fresco thy lithe, dictatorial thighs

Slym, a few clarifications? Am I counted as one of the 201? The wording was a little vague. From what I understand, I can see 99 people with one color, 100 people with the other, and the oracle, and I don't know how the colors are distributed?
Do we know which day the oracle left? Did the oracle have to figure out his own color or did he know from the start?

What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in a thousand years?
I actually found this doing a completely asinine google for "riddles" but I knew it before and liked it so there you go
The academic standard for calling out mention of a word of phrase instead of its use is to italicize or quote.

Ugh, I hate the fucking 'word riddles.'
What's the difference between a grandma and a granary?
Ok, not that difference, what's the specific one I am thinking of that is also a play on words.

The oracle/wizard isn't important after he says what he says. You are one of the 200 people with either brown or blue eyes, you don't know which, you don't know the totals for either color. You see 99 with blue, 100 with brown, but you don't know if you're the 100th blue or the 101th brown.

My friend is working on a roguelike game you can play if you want to. (It has free demo)
Also, shit, did the oracle (and everyone else for that matter) know that there had to be only exactly one purple-eyed oracle from the beginning?
Because if so, the oracle could deduce on the very first day that since he's not seeing any other purple-eyed folks he has to be it. And then of course he'd be able to see a blue-eyed fellow considering they're ALL still on the island.

There are 200 people not counting the bug-eyed oracle. You can see 99 people with one colour and 100 people with the other. You don't know how many people there are in total of each colour, but obviously can work out that it's either 101 and 99, 100 and 100 or 99 and 101. The oracle has a heart attack and dies immediately after the proclamation and doesn't factor into the riddle any more.

Find the hottest blue-eyed chick on the island and fuck her. Make a reasonable number of children with her to reduce doubt - wait for a third generation if necessary, letting your children only mate with blue-eyed people. Knowing that brown eyes are dominant and blue eyes are recessive, if after a time all of your descendents are still blue-eyed, you may conclude with reasonable certainty that your eyes are blue.
If you pop out a brown-eyed kid then your eyes are brown.
Man there's some kind of twist I'm not even thinking of there. The best I can figure out is that everyone would go to the boat and declare they have blue eyes on the first day, because they'll figure the oracle was more likely to see a blue-eyed person if there's two more blue-eyed people than brown-eyed ones, but none of them would be certain. If they let them on the boat anyway then everyone who's denied would then know they have brown eyes and be rescued the next day.

And what if you hated the person you're buying it for?
Just the kind of edge cases that make me hate that kind of riddle.
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here
they're = they are
yeah I mean, I don't want my loved ones to die, but I don't want to bury them in a grocery bag, either
so in a way, I do want that coffin
This is dumb
It's a riddle, not a goddamn logic puzzle
I actually found this doing a completely asinine google for "riddles" but I knew it before and liked it so there you go
It also comes twice in your mom
I would also say that I'm using it to keep whoever died from... I don't know, whatever the point of a coffin is.
I wanna be cremated, fuck coffins.
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here
they're = they are
I knew there was some kind of violence involved
No, that's her new friend Alan.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm don't know

You stuff food in one and the other is a granary.
