Here's my first ordinary riddle :

You can look at me for a really long time, even for hours, without getting bored

And I get more and more hot as time goes by

Yet once the power is cut off

You do not even pay the slightest attention to me

As if I am just a useless object

Many say that I am not a good influence, especially to youngsters

But in almost every home, I will always be there

  • $\begingroup$ It's good to try something new. You have made many nice riley riddles, and now you are attempting at some ordinary riddles. I have never written an ordinary riddle (yet), as I always like to incorporate a bit of rhyme and poetry in mine (as well as some originality to make my riddle different and unique) :) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @ShahriarMahmudSajid thank you. I'm trying to make more but can't seem to make some other anagrams. I was thinking, for example: The man did not desire to reside in such a small apartment. But I am running out of other ideas. $\endgroup$

Are you a

Laptop/Computer

You can look at me for a really long time, even for hours, without getting bored

Being connected to the internet is addictive.

And I get more and more hot as time goes by

Laptops and computers tend to heat up over time.

Yet once the power is cut off

You do not even pay the slightest attention to me

Laptops and computers lose their use when they are powered off.

As if I am just a useless object

Fair

Many say that I am not a good influence, especially to youngsters

People say youngsters spend too much time in front of a screen which is not good for them.

But in almost every home, I will always be there

Laptops and computers are ubiquitous.
