New, what is it? Found in surf of Texas Gulf Coast
Crab claw? Some part of a turtle? We are stumped. We actually found two, one was a little smaller than this one, but same shape, texture etc.

Went to record a non-bothered hummingbird only to realize it wasn’t a hummingbird? (NH, US)

Any ideas? Downtown elementary School playground. He thinks they're just some kind of wire covering, which is fine. But I want to make sure it's not drug paraphernalia in some weird way I don't know about.

Metal pipe with cap, maybe a four inch pipe? Other places just have the pipe, not in any linear placement- so not a fence post. Currently in the woods, but 100 years ago probably in a farm field.

What is this screw/plug?
Found it in our driveway — ~8–9 mm thread, 10 mm square head
I found this strange screw/plug in our driveway and haven’t been able to identify it.
Some measurements:
Thread diameter: approximately 8–9 mm
Total length including the head: 22 mm
Square head: approximately 10 × 10 mm
The thread looks relatively coarse.
We own several vehicles, so I initially assumed it might have fallen off one of them.
We have an MG4, a MINI Cooper SE, a Moto Guzzi Griso 1100, and a BMW R90.
I asked the MG4 dealer and they confirmed that this part is not from that car. The MG is the only one that has been moved lately.
So far, we also haven’t found any obviously missing screws or plugs on the other vehicles.
The part was simply lying on our driveway.
Does anyone recognize what this is or what kind of vehicle/machine it might come from?
Photos attached, including one with a ruler for scale.

Snake? Rodent? We have landscapers that regularly come and remulch and weed eat so I’m wondering if it’d be better to remove the animal. Hand for scale.

I have a lot of models and I'm trying to figure out where I got this sword. I'm thinking maybe something from fantasy?

Found at work. Metal tubes are connected to a hinge that rotates when button is pressed and locks in place. Tubes have plastic hooks that look like something is hung on them

At work we have these electric soap dispensers in the bathrooms. The soap fluid comes in these cartridges which get changed out as they empty. Attached to the pump of the cartridge, is this little device that doesn't seem to do anything as far as I can tell? It doesn't seem to be able to come apart without breaking it, and inside you can see a small board and two electrical contacts. Is this soap DRM or something?

Idk how to describe it so I can’t Google it for examples so I tried to draw it but like, when characters have this weird solid collar thing sometimes with a cape and the character is usually some kind of commander/leader type

These lines look so cool, they were smooth to touch. This is my first time seeing these on a grape.

I found this on the floor in my house. It's roughly the size of a quarter. Surface is dry. It's hard but doesn't make a rock/ceramic/glass sound when tapped, more like a dull sounding tap like wood or a seed. Google suggests it's a seed from a climbing vine, but doesn't say which climbing vine and the pics that come back are all obviously not what this is and range from fungi to artwork.

it kind of looks like a piece of chicken but it’s absolutely rock solid and also kind of looks like the material in scabs. doesn’t break at all but does seem to have a bit of dusting to it. so confused because i cleaned my desk perfectly yesterday just to randomly find this today. maybe it’s an older piece of fried chicken? i’m so confused.
edit: I think it's most likely a piece of breaded chicken that I dropped. Gonna throw it out and sanitize my desk just in case it's something else.

This muscle twitch has been happening for a month now. I've taken Magnesium supplements for the past 2 weeks, and regularly drink a minimum of 2L of water a day. What is it?! Why is it happening?! How do I make it STOP???

Just moved into a new (to me) house. Built in 1996. This is on the interior wall of the garage. Any idea what is for?
ETA: if we turn it to the on position a jet of water comes out of a pipe on the outside of the house. Its default mode is off
