I probably won't blind you, but it certainly won't be pleasant
The merger of a leader and global mass supporters
Oft followed doubly by a joint and a set of ten
What am I?
Hint:
The last clue is only missing some key facial features
Hint 2:
Each line refers to a somewhat different definition of the answer
Are you
Head & Shoulders (Shampoo brand)
I probably won't blind you, but it certainly won't be pleasant
Getting shampoo in your eyes isn't nice, Head and Shoulders is especially painful
The merger of a leader and global mass supporters
Leader (Head) + supporters (Shoulders) (reference to idiom Carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders)
Oft followed doubly by a joint and a set of ten
(Intended Answer) Reference to Head Shoulders Knees (joint) and Toes (set of ten) the children's rhyme
(Original answer) You have a head on your shoulders which is followed by a joint (elbow) and a set of ten (10 fingers)
Hint:
The rest of the rhyme is Eyes and Ears and Mouth and Nose
I think you're
a flame coming out of a lighter.
I probably won't blind you, but it certainly won't be pleasant
Looking directly at the flame of a lighter tickles the eye, without hurting much.
The merger of a leader and global mass supporters
Maybe related to using a lighter in a concert
Oft followed doubly by a joint and a set of ten
The flame can be used to light up a joint, around a set of teens.
Are you...
A hand?
I probably won't blind you, but it won't be pleasant.
A slap to the face, maybe?
The merger of a leader and global mass supporters
A leader (elbow) and global mass supporters (fingers)
Oft followed doubly by a joint and a set of ten
Joint (elbow) and a set of ten (10 fingers, with 5 fingers on each hand)
Are you....
A smart phone screen, displaying facebook specifically?
I probably won't blind you, but it certainly won't be pleasant
checking your screen at night isn't literally blinding, but quite unpleasant, especially with the facebook color scheme
The merger of a leader and global mass supporters
A smart phone could connect a public figure with all of their followers through social media, especially through facebook
Oft followed doubly by a joint and a set of ten
Hitting the "follow" button on the screen by moving some joint in your body, with your ten fingers "following" as in being next to or behind, the screen. The phone's screen can also be referred to as its face, and "facial features" could be a nice hint towards additional facebook "features" or functions other than following.
SECOND TRY!
Is it an...
arm? The answers to the hints are the same.
