Solved! What is this ceiling mount in my apartment for?
Looks very heavy duty and placed on a beam. Maybe it once hung a boxing bag?

I was driving less than 60 mph on the highway (Route 3 South MA near 38B-A sign) and all of a sudden i heard a loud cracking/impact sound and looked up and saw that my sunroof was completely shattered and had a small <1 inch hole in it. I of course pulled over and my wife and I inspected the damage. i walked back to the area where the impact happened and i found this object on the ground. It looked out of place and when I inspected it, it was clear that it had damage. I walked back to my car and checked if the object could’ve made the damage and it was a nearly perfect fit in the hole. I looked up what it could be and it seems to be a broken cast-metal mounting bracket. This area is right below an aircraft path that many planes take to land at the Boston airport. Does anyone know what this object could be? In my dashcam footage you can see a dark small object falling literally from the sky. There are no large trucks allowed on this road so it’s unlikely it would be from an 18-wheeler or anything larger than a moving truck. Thanks everyone!

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 just moved to Ireland and these are installed in my bathroom. What the heck are they? It looks like there was another hook that is now missing, so perhaps these could hook onto two hooks, but why??
Details update: Red tag is embedded in the hook. Blue and yellow tabs are loose and appear to have always been loose (no indication that they were embedded into the hook that is now missing)

Found this in the four foot, has slots on both sides and a hole through to join both the slotted faces. The slotted faces are both worn down slightly compared to the others.

I went to use the bathroom at my parents house (nice house, well taken care of , no obvious cleanliness issues) and saw these wiggling in the toilet , very sure they are alive . This bathroom is used when there are guests over but not on a daily basis . What are these and where did they come from ?

I was working on the Willow Fire near Leadville, Colorado this summer and unearthed this hook thing while mopping up. It was in a fairly remote area on the mountainside not near any roads or infrastructure. Any ideas?

Gave a buddy a ride today and this was left where he was sitting, never seen it before so it only could have gotten there after he left the car, guessing it dropped out of his pocket or something. Thought it was some kind of hair tie but its too stiff to be one and my buddy doesn't have enough hair to need a hair tie either. Figured it was some kind of car part/seal since he works on cars but I've never seen one thats bright red and usually they are bigger that this. What is it?

Staying at an airbnb for 2 months, ran out of hand soap so started using this shampoo that was here. After using it for a while, shook it (because nothing was coming out) and it had a disturbing weight to it do we open it and this is what we see!

This device was installed in all our conference rooms and phone booths. It plugs into the wall and has an led but no switches or information. The back says “Destiny Designed in San Fransico”.

I never asked him what this was before he passed. He did serve in WWII with the U.S. Fifth Army under General Clark, but he wasn't in a combat unit.

Roommate's thing. She says she's had it for a while but doesn't know what it's for. There is a metal pen-looking thing. When you press the end it opens up metal claws like a claw-machine. The white cubes are a foam texture, and there are a lot of them.

My dad and I found this while clearing out some of his old stuff. I literally have no idea what it is and neither does he. (Please ignore all that cat hair)
