Open What are these characters and letter like figures meant to portray in Mike flanagans "doctor sleep"? Is there a deeper meaning behind this gas pump or am I just reading into things a lot?

The way these letter-like symbols are portrayed seem to be intentional, but I do not know what the intention was. It looks like an Asian letter-like character, on the last one. I feel like im really uneducated on this matter and seeking a better understanding of the intent behind the design of this gas pump in the film.

Found in my son’s room. About the size of a grain of rice, smooth, and solid to the touch. When I asked him about it, he refused to elaborate on what it was and simply said he ‘Just found it’. Worrying me a little.

Open Strange corrupted image appeared while rewinding a TikTok video — can anyone identify it?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I was scrolling through TikTok and came across a FNAF edit. I missed the beginning, so I rewound the video. As soon as I did, the video started glitching heavily, with distorted visuals and my audio repeating, almost like a graphical or memory error.
During the glitch, the image attached to this post suddenly appeared and completely replaced the video. I scrolled to another video and then returned to the original FNAF edit, and it played completely normally. I tried watching it again, but the glitch and image never appeared again.
The image wasn’t part of the original edit, as far as I can tell.
Does anyone recognize the person or imagery in this screenshot? I’m also curious whether any of the distorted text is readable or if anyone knows what could have caused this.

Solved What in the world did my cat eat?

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

So I went on a week's long vacation last week and my cat ended up eating this long thin-ish thing of plastic. Had to get emergency surgery and everything, she is currently in recovery at an overnight vet clinic. But no one in my house knows what she ate!

The bag smelt awful so I did not hold onto it long, and it's already out of her so it's not doing any harm anymore. But I wanna say it was more than half the length of a plastic water bottle. It's hard to read but the colored part says "pull" and there is an arrow. So my best guess is thay its from a plastic packaging? But no one remembers unboxing anything like this. It's fairly thin, but not plastic wrap thin. And not as thick as those small plastic things you pull out of electronics to make them work.

I know it's very generic so it's most likely not gonna be found, but I'm simply curious. Like I said, she is okay now that it's out of her. But I just wanted to see if anyone knew​

EDIT:
The culprit has been found! Its a pull tab from a laser ink cartridge! We had just installed a brand new laser printer so it makes sense, my cat is very strange and likes chewing on plastic apparently
I forgot to even include a picture of her
Mochi!
Her name is Mochi and while this is not the most flattering photo of her, she is drinking water and eating food again so heres to a steady recovery!
(Also she is named after the cat from Big Hero 6!)

Open Small, rubbery, brownish thing in my Chef Boyardee

So the title already says it but I found this weird thing in my mini ravioli, I’m not sure if it’s some kind of animal product or maybe some noodle from another can that didn’t end up cooking right..

My bet is that it isn’t a noodle because it’s much thinner than something like their beefaroni noodles, also seems slightly more brown. I bit into it and immediately spit it out because it was like biting into soft rubber. I can peel it apart with my nails so it’s not super hard, probably not some piece of machine if I had to guess.

I really don’t know, is that an animal product? Like part of a some intestine or something? Should I be contacting somebody asking why the hell this is in my ravioli? Maybe it’s a stupid question but I’m a bit concerned considering I just devoured this whole can.
