This one is slightly harder then the previous two.

I'm not a pool, a tree, a slave, a website, or a shirt.

But all have something that is related to me.

What am I?

  • $\begingroup$ Like i said, this one is slightly harder ;) In this case i think the hint actually needed to be part of the question so its fine by me @AeJey $\endgroup$ Jan 14, 2016 at 8:42
  • $\begingroup$ Well actually, i dont think this riddle can result in only one answer, although i have a specific answer in mind the answer to this riddle may actually be different then the one i anticipated at first. $\endgroup$ Jan 14, 2016 at 8:50
