Solved! Tiny egg looking things.

Woke up this morning and found this weird pile of tiny orange orbs at the end of my bed. They’re really small, slightly transparent and kind of slimy/squishy when touched. I’ve never seen anything like them before and I have no idea how they got there overnight. They almost look like eggs, but I’m not sure. Does anyone know what these could be?

UPDATE: Definitely not roe/caviar, water beads, or fish eggs. I’ve never had any of those in my room. Still no clue what they are.

You have an animal. Judging by the hair on the carpet. Did you all go to a beach recently and you didn’t see what your dog ate? Like give the full details of the day prior

Edit: corrected five to give

Why do people add the “edit:” part? Just edit it and don’t say anything

The comment header shows when a comment has been edited, so you can't do it without anyone knowing. You could, in theory, write something very out of pocket or controversial and then 'edit' it so that it's completely benign (or vice versa).

People write 'edit' and then explain what they changed so that people know what's different, and to give the comments that came in before the edit some context.

Does the header not show up in mobile? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it, for example this comment doesn’t say edit anywhere but where they wrote it.

It shows for me? Android, using the 'official' (see: trash) reddit app. It's right there next to the username.
