My turn: what gets wetter and wetter the more it dries?

A towel or sponge.

[BadLeo]

Yap... I was thinking about a towel, that was easy.

[Red Iron Crown]

I have two arms but no hands. I have two feet but cannot walk or run. I can carry heavy things but only easily when my feet are off the ground. What am I?

[BadLeo]

it's... a manual forklift?

[Red Iron Crown]

it's... a manual forklift?

Nope, is that even a thing?

[BadLeo]

Yeah, but it was a joke. I clearly don't know the answer yet, so I write the first thing that comes to my mind and it's minimally close to the riddle's clues. BTW:

[Red Iron Crown]

Heh, something new every day.

[Deadpangod3]

A cargo helicopter?

A cargo plane?

Rocket?

[Red Iron Crown]

A cargo helicopter?

A cargo plane?

Rocket?

No to all three.

[Deadpangod3]

A crane?

A suspension bridge?

One of those bridges that can be split in two and angle upwards so ships can pass underneath?

A tugboat?

[Deadpangod3]

A bird?

Hmmm....

[Starwhip]

I think it's a helicopter...

[Red Iron Crown]

A bird?

Hmmm....

Nope.

Nope.

[Deadpangod3]

An airship?

Blimp?

A plane?

[Red Iron Crown]

An airship?

Blimp?

A plane?

No, no, and no.

[Starwhip]

It's that thing... with the wheels on it. Gah.

The thingy that delivery people use that has the handles and prongs on it, that when you tilt it can roll around but sits still on little rubber feet when you put it down, used to carry heavy loads.

I can't remember the name - wait. Are they called hand-carts? Or hand-trolleys?

Well, anyways, the description works.

EDIT:

This thingymabob:

[Red Iron Crown]

A dolly? No, but you're on the right track...

[Starwhip]

A backpack? It has arms (straps) and feet (the little rubber thingys) and can carry heavy loads.

[Red Iron Crown]

Not a backpack.

[Starwhip]

*sigh*

I don't know then. I'll get back to it in a while... wait. Hold on! These feet, they're starting to sound something like a kickstand... or an anchor *muttering about arms and feet*

How about... a bicycle? No, wait. That doesn't exactly work, does it?

[StrandedonEarth]

It's a wheelbarrow! 2 arms, 2 feet, carries heavy loads....

You know, I came up with a few original riddles earlier, but now I can't seem to think one up. Hmmm.....

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

Absorbent and yellow and porous is he!

Nah, too easy for anyone with kids. I'll have to turn to my favorite source again. Eventually my riddle will be to ask what is my favorite source for riddles!

What has a bed but never sleeps

Has a head but never weeps

Has a mouth but never talks

Always runs but never walks?

[Lord_Potato]

A river. Easy.
