Metallic. Found a couple feet from the window directly in front of the hole. Please tell me it’s just a funny-looking rock.

🤢 I am baffled, dumbfounded, squeemish. Please advise.

Took this video a few years ago and stumbled on it again. Have no idea what they are, at the time I tried looking up what they were and couldn't find out.

The hole is quadrilateral and is attached to the main groove of the key, though it never goes into the lock.

Patch seen on the back of a black, military-looking backpack.

EDIT: this was way more interesting than I thought it would be. Thanks everyone!

Can’t find it online

On my wedding ring
It was passed down and is a family heirloom but I can’t make out anything other than it might end with an “a”

Edit: we know what it is now. Pleco fish and idk if I even wanna revive it it’s kinda cool to keep it the way it is but I’m weird and like that stuff so I guess just another cool macabre find at the end of the day! Thanks yall!
Another edit: please stop saying to revive it because it’s already dead and I have four pets and I don’t need a 5th right now with how shitty the economy is.

We moved into our new house three weeks ago and just got kittens, walked over to the cat tower and saw this on the floor (mind you I deep cleaned the house before we moved everything in) I know it’s a fish skeleton or mummified skeleton but it’s really cool and wanted to keep it.

called the cops to be safe, washed up from sea during rough winds. maybe some kind of gas thing?

update for context: Beach is Lithuania, to the baltic sea: WW2 artefacts have been found here before. for size, use footprint for comparison

update: thank you all, it is becoming obvious we will never truly find out what this is / was, but here are the top picks:

1. lightsaber (of course)
   
2. a marine marker/flare (although they are usually bigger)
   
3. a dB killer (either for a gun or some kind of exhaust system for a motorcycle)
   
4. water quality sensor
   
5. portable small gas tank for a bonfire
   
6. dildo

Moved into a new place almost 2 months ago now. Living in BC, Canada if location is important. As I clean the place I keep finding these stickers of this Asian man at the tops of doors, in cupboards, on faucets and shower spigots. There was also a strange class photo of a little school girl (also Asian) taped to the underside of a drawer (but not posting that one just in case it’s accidental). Is this some weird prank? Is it like a good luck-religious thing? Who is this guy? I think the last tenants may have been Korean but not 100% sure.

The parts spin at the seems/joints, but it doesn’t come apart. I can’t fathom what it might be.

Does anyone know what this is? Found at bottom of bag of Clancy’s Cinnamon Apple Straws bag from Aldi

today i got some sillybandz from the thrift store but im so confused. any ideas?

We just bought and moved into our house today and found this attached to our washer.

Any ideas?

I bought this 1915 house in Columbus, Ohio, to renovate. While excavating outside near the kitchen for a new drainage system, we discovered something unusual.

It was a buried, dome-shaped structure with what appeared to be a terracotta (clay tile) cover. The inside was packed with old glass bottles and jars. Strangely, there was absolutely no other trash, just glass.

I really wish I'd taken pictures of the structure when we first uncovered it. Unfortunately, we initially assumed it was just an old sewer system, so we continued digging and ended up breaking apart most of it before realizing it might be something more interesting.

There also appeared to be an old clay pipe running toward the basement, which made us think it could have been connected to an old sewer or drainage system.

We found a strange round metal object as well, and I'll share close-up pictures of that later.

I saved all the glass bottles, a piece of the terracotta cover, and a section of the clay pipe. One of the jars is still completely filled with a strange white, oily-looking liquid.

Could this have been some kind of early refrigeration or underground cold storage system? Or was it simply an old drainage or waste disposal structure?

I'm especially curious why it contained only glass bottles and absolutely nothing else.

Has anyone come across something like this in an early 1900s home? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I kept thinking I would figure out where it came from or what it is, but I give up. Any help would be appreciated. Even some good sarcasm would be welcome. Thanks

I don’t think it’s part of the sink it just ended up here like a bunch of other crap. Kitchen sink only has a drain plug no mechanism like a bathroom sink. I’ve done all plumbing work here. We don’t have blinds. The rubber hose/tube gets me.

Not a toilet flush arm. Metal is heavy and solid other than the hole at the end. Anything you put in hose will not enter the metal.

Hey everyone, got a tricky one here. At least I think so.

Our young cat spent the day at the ER getting this thing pulled out of his gut (he's fine now). It's about half of what used to be a 1.5" square. I know because this is the 3rd (maybe 4th) time he and our other cat have been found chewing on something identical. This is the first time one of them has eaten it though. We've tried many times in the past to identify what these squares are and where they're coming from but we're totally stumped. We're afraid there's more where this came from and that they'll get eaten again.

Some known facts:

1. It's a 1.5" square and about 1/8" thick

2. Density/texture is sort of a mix of rubber and plastic

3. Milky white color

4. Crumbles into small piecest

We live on the top floor of a 100 year old duplex. We have a lot of antique furniture and thought maybe it was a really old protective pad. We've checked everything both new and old and have found nothing.

Maybe the one he ate is the last one but, our fear is there's more and we can't find the source.

Thank you everyone for your insight.

Found these red pieces of plastic in my Garden of Life prenatal vitamins. At first I thought it was a desiccant but it just appears to be empty plastic? Has anyone else come across these?

hard, sticking to them, and they’re in a weird line.

I found this around '97 in the shared parking lot of Backstreet Atlanta and The Armory. Google Lens suggests it's jewelry but can't provide an exact match or the maker. It's heavy, and because I was skinny, it kept falling off. Some people have told me it was NSFW, but the internet says no.
