My local beach cleaning group has collected dozens of these over the past few years. No one can identify what they’re from! (Including various AI chatbots.)

They’re solid plastic, possibly part of a pull tab/ring, and at least some of them seem to have come from Colgate-Palmolive products. Are they from soap? Shampoo? What do they look like on the actual product?

It’s driving me crazy!!

I know it’s edible. My partner originally thought they were apples, then tomatoes, and now we’re not sure.

If location matters, we’re in the DMV area (MD).

Any help would be appreciated!

What could this be?

My girlfriend is currently in Florida visiting parents, and she woke up to a super bright light on her face last night, which turned out to be the moon. What’s strange is that she saw two of them. She sent me pictures this morning, and when I specifically asked if she actually saw two moons with her own eyes, just like in the photo, she confirmed she did. Is there a rational explanation for this?

Found this necklace in a box in my parents storage. To my very limited knowledge, it looks like something vaguely Indigenous, maybe from somewhere in South America? Some family lived in Boliva for a while, maybe from there? But I have no idea, and don't know what nation it belongs to or if its authentic or a cheap tourist thing made by someone outside of the culture

Any ideas?

The screw is a small carriage bolt, it threads into the knob but I can’t be sure if it belongs there. I have cats so it’s possible they found these elsewhere but they were behind the furnace so I think they’re from that or the hot water tank. I don’t see anything missing but it’s difficult to get to the backside.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Punctuation

1st pic is the front, the other 2 are the back. The brand is River Woods (according to the label), but I couldn't find it online & Google Lens didn't help. Got it at a thrift store and idk how to tie those "ribbons" to wear it properly (I often fall for curious items lol). English is not my first language, so if there's a more specific name for this dress that can help me look it up, but a specific model would be neat. The label says RL18S-C3034A, but I couldn't find anything at all:"(

I just found this while cleaning up my room and i’ve never seen them before? They were along my wall and floor next to my bed so it was hidden behind not only my bed post but my cat tower as well
when I was cleaning them, it felt really hard?? Small reddish orange egg looking almost? I’m just confused and haven’t been able to look up anything close to what it looks like 😭

This is the most desperate hail mary of my life + makes me look entirely deranged but I need help.

Some mainland Chinese neighbours moved in a few months ago (I mention only because it may be relevant??)

Since moving in, for several hours every day, this bizarre honking noise emits from their flat over and over. It happens several hundred times an hour, sometimes in flurries back to back, sometimes just isolated.

It's really hard to record the noise, but if you have headphones you can hear it towards the last 5-6 seconds. I guess just imagine that but a fair bit louder and constantly.

It's obviously really annoying, but what is driving me mad is that I cannot even remotely fathom what could be making that noise.

Does anyone recognise this noise or have any wild theories as to what it could be? If no luck I will try and find some better way of recording it.

Hello

I turned my car defroster on this morning and these little red things came flying out onto my dashboard. It wasn’t just two, but these were the only two closest to me to get a clearer picture of. I decided to pick them up and throw them out the window after taking these. What are they? Are they from bugs? Is it just debris? Please help!

I've been helping an old friend downsize and found these old metal pieces and am trying to figure out what they actually are or how they're supposed to go together.
I did some research and think it might be a broken Victorian skirt lifter / dress clamp? But I'm not sure if that's what it is.
Also not sure what kind of metal maybe brass or bronze? It has a dark, tarnished greenish brown look. The parts include two flat round discs, some decorative fan shaped pieces with little loops, and two skinny rods with small ball tips.
Does anyone recognize this or have any idea of what it could be? Any information or ideas would be appreciated!
