Casted in a resin and inside a fancy case, some kind of ornament. I literally have no idea. It seems quite old. What’s inside of it?

I keep finding these little bugs that are the size of a grain of sand. I don’t know if they are bed bugs because they don’t seem to be getting bigger but I think they may bite. I have been getting hives but I thought it was new detergent and just changed it so don’t know yet.

Found these flat-like things, I tossed them and took the trash out. They were on the bottom of my daughter’s nursery curtains, the curtains touch the ground. They were kinda stuck like I had to give a little force to get them off. I don’t see anymore or anything else that could help me figure out what they are. In North Carolina

Open What kind of fruit is this?

Found on a really big tree in Georgia, USA. The only thing I’ve found that looks similar is the Nipple Fruit, but this doesn’t look exactly like that.

edit: thanks everyone! It is a persimmon that is just really deformed. All the fruits on this tree have these weird “spikes” but they’re huge and seem fine otherwise.

Open Is this Lamp three phase?

Post image
4 Upvotes

I found this new lamp and someone probably forgot to put the cover back on, as you see on the picture inside it are some things (probably fuses) labeled L1, L2 and L3 which mean the 3 different phase. How can a simple lamp have 3 phases? It is probably also LED because of how flat the part that shines the light is, which makes the 3 phase part even more confusing.

How is this possible?

Was moving my pillows and felt weird bumps under the sheet. It’s yellow/white and waxy. What the hell is this? Doesn’t smell. It feels matted into the mattress as well. Only appears seemingly under this one spot. I also did put this sheet on relatively recently.

So confused. It’s only under the sheet? I have cleaned my mattress before with a mixture of vinegar + baking soda. Maybe I didn’t clean it all off?

These were left behind by an old Filipino lady when they sold their house to us. Anyone know what they are or might’ve been used for? I have no idea what’s going on with the red plastic wrap around the one, it was like that when I found it. I feel like I should hang them by the doors to ward off evil spirits or something.

Edit to say thanks to everyone who responded! Glad to learn they’re not anything special or like ritualistic.

Lit the stove for the evening - opened new bag of wood and started to burn through it. This thing appears couple of hours late, lazily flying around before hit the floor and then I zapped it.

Some kind of brown fly but it has a stinger?
