What's in my pocket?
Answer
Disappears
It isn't fair, my precious, is it, to ask us what it's got in it's nassty little pocketsess?
The poor have it
The rich need it
If you eat it, you will die
Answer
Nothing
She comes sometimes at need,
But never at your heed.
To meet with her is jolly,
To push her would be folly.
Who is she?
edit: for bonus points, I first came across this with a second step in the puzzle. Not a riddle, but a different kind of puzzle. Solve this:
Cyphertext
Lweycxkxr nq kwf mxzqp vlqu yq uxslnkyy, njocy kc yi ykj u dop mjyfff lp udvp nq pws. Kdd qkxrm cbp nqy dgcvw nq qpn kdd zcd wcvdwy dyos qpq njo rlqeyx. Vrp vgo, zz eyfluo, qfkod upihua lpwcedy dopm fyy'n ekcy yrln jexupc ebkxv cu sxjqcdcdvp.
Though that's not the same text I had the first time (it was in a D&D game and the text was related to that), the same technique would need to be applied to read the above text. The riddle's solution is relevant.
My app doesn't support spoilers so I don't know if this has worked. Maybe collapse this comment if you don't want to see it, just in case.

Lady luck?
Edit: fixed maybe? Thanks @[email protected]
the edit worked
there's also, if you're interested, a second part of the puzzle that I edited into the above. It's not a riddle though so feel free to ignore.

Yeah that's the old Reddit syntax. Some former Reddit apps haven't updated to support the syntax specified for use on Lemmy. I would recommend contacting your app's devs and asking them to support Lemmy's syntax.
I'm on Eternity. It worked.
It doesn't seem to be working. I'm on Jerboa
Luck?
