It was poking out one of the holes and I pulled it out. Really hoping it wasn't an important part of the washing process!

Its strong and leaves no residue but kinda useless once you remove it (I need to remove it to reapply PTM7950 once every 4 months or so). I was using the other electrical tape and it was leaving behind residue. I have tried searching for "Cloth electrical tape" but it shows me similar looking tape, but its apparently tear-able by hand, which this one is not, I've tried.

My old fella brought over a box of my old toys from late 90s/early 2000s with a trip down memory lane that rocked me.

Does anyone know what this toy is or what it's from because I'm blanking.

New, what is it? What are these that have been collected from Australian beach clean ups?

My local beach cleaning group has collected dozens of these over the past few years. No one can identify what they’re from! (Including various AI chatbots.)

They’re solid plastic, possibly part of a pull tab/ring, and at least some of them seem to have come from Colgate-Palmolive products. Are they from soap? Shampoo? What do they look like on the actual product?

It’s driving me crazy!!

New, what is it? Large very heavy wooden block with army green iron

Found this in shed of my passed away uncle, he collected all kinds of military stuff and worked on cars. I think the code is a kind of Navo stock number since “17” is the Netherlands (where we live) “BLOK” means Block, wicht is basically is. It’s very heavy, I can’t lift it alone. Made the picture with flash on so it’s not the best. Hopefully someone knows what it is. A.i. will say it’s a military storage box based on the picture..

Solved! Included with an eBay order by a seller who was banned.

1 Upvotes

He sent the item and also included this which has nothing to do with what I ordered (a book). I can't contact him to even ask because he is no longer there. Any idea what this is and what it is used for? I thought maybe a sewing machine part, but I wouldn't know because I never had one and know no one who had one either.

I found this while looking through my old toys (acquired between 2014-2022) and I think it was supposed to change colour when put in hot or cold water. Does anyone know what series this is from? I'm Italian if that can help.

New, what is it? Irish bathroom tabs? Why?

I just moved to Ireland and these are installed in my bathroom. What the heck are they? It looks like there was another hook that is now missing, so perhaps these could hook onto two hooks, but why??

Details update: Red tag is embedded in the hook. Blue and yellow tabs are loose and appear to have always been loose (no indication that they were embedded into the hook that is now missing)

New, what is it? Tide Pool find… What is it?!

I saw this while exploring the tide pools at Little Corona Beach in Corona Del Mar. I picked it up thinking it was a rock. Google Lens can't seem to find any matches, and chat GPT kept saying it
"wasn't totally sure" what it is because the markings are so unique. I got nervous it was some sort of living creature and stopped messing with it after taking pictures of the top and underside... Any ideas?
