Also appears to be 2 missing pieces. Please help me identify.

It didn’t stick to my foot. I only barely stepped on it and felt a sharp poke on the side of my foot. Looks like some kind of stinger tho…

Found in the room where the cat sleeps, which makes mouse poop seem less likely. Also not my hand, I would personally go for gloves with potential mouse poop. Central Texas. Hard and tiny

Scrolling thru my photos and found this, my mom was visiting the US virgin islands in 2024 and saw this, never figured out wtf it was or what caused the sky to look like this!

What is this??

Found this green coated metal “thingy”. It stands well on its own, the base loop fits around larger flower pots and other cylindrical objects, and it’s unclear if the top “hook” part is broken or not.

I used it last year as a hanger for a flower pot, but the shallowness of the hook meant it fell easily. There is a tiny fleck of some green coating on the tip of the hook, leading me to think it is not broken.. but then there’s a sharp metal “lip” on the end too. Conflicting signs.

The internet has turned up nothing similar, and Google seems to think it’s a Shepard’s Hook Stand. Not possible with the hook like this, if it’s unbroken.

It’s got a Colombian flag on it but I looked up diplomatic license plates and they don’t look anything like this one

found in southern california. enjoyed swimming, mostly upside down i believe. survived on land and looked wildly different once dry. fuzzy legs? did not want to be caught.

So I flew from London to Switzerland today and I was glancing out my window in the plane and saw what looked to me like, from my naked eye, as a shadow of my plane that was flying in and a rainbow circling the shadow image. Could anyone explain this? Looked so pretty and just wanted to know more info! Thanks!

Just bought and took a bite. Is this mold?

Anybody have a clue to what kind of outboard boat motor this is I can’t find that symbol anywhere and there is no model number or serial number on it any help would be great

i found this ring while digging up an area in front of the house im renting to make a small garden. i figured it has something to do with the free masons or something. anyone know what the symbols and stuff mean?

Hi, as I was unloading my washing machine, I found these filters among clothes. I can't imagine where they came from but I wouldn't have had them in any pockets so I'm wondering if they came from the washing machine internally somehow? Do I have a problem on my hands? They're about 17mm in diameter.

I've had the washing machine for about 6 years and live in an area with *incredibly* hard water.

I worked for this asshole opthalmologist for a while and he for some reason let me go through a part of the basement and I took this home. I liked the frame and I guess overall feel for it. The back is nailed shut, I have a toddler so it is difficult to remove the backing with him running around. Curious if anyone has any info?

I saw this at my job (car wash) on a car. Looked really sketch and doesnt have any business or organization connected to it. The one on the car didnt have a black outline,, just four H’s in this position

Found it at my late grandma's house in Germany - it is a souvenir from her trip to Australia in the 1970s(?).

She always called it a "shark fin", but they look way different if you look at pictures on google search.

Found this during a clearout in my home just wondering if anyone knows what it is?

Thanks
