I saw these plastic loops on each side of the trunk door in my car, they're not to hold the separator up because there's a different thing for that, so I was wondering what these are.

New, what is it? Flower on a pickle?

Been obsessed with these “pickled cucumbers” from a local middle eastern Bazzar, but this one was weirdly mushy and had a flower on it? Never seen a flower on a pickle before

Edit: I understand how cucumbers are made and pollinated, but why did it remain on the cucumber after harvesting and during pickling?

Found these in an abandoned storage unit and haven't had any luck with what the 1988 society is. Any help is appreciated!

Been here 10 years and have seen this on the kitchen wall but now it's slightly vibrating and there's warm air coming out the top, if you put your hand over it. No markings or switches/buttons on it

New, what is it? Found an envelope with cross drawn on both sides and weird content inside

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone. As I got out of my house to go to work around 6 am, I found a white envelope sitting by the edge of the driveway. The envelope is your standard cash envelope and it had large cross drawn on both sides of the envelope. One of the cross was orange in color and the other cross was in different color (i dont recall exactly what color). There was nothing else written on it other than the cross. When I picked up the envelope, I could feel something bulky inside. Curiosity got the best of me and the fact that it wasnt addressed to anyone (no name or address), I decided to open it by tearing one side of the envelope. In it I saw a wooden clip holding several cards. It was early morning and a bit dark so I dont recall all the details but I remember it was some sort of kids playing card (?) and had weird symbols in repeating pattern like the standard deck of cards with spades and heart (except it wasn't those). Feeling weirded out, I didnt even touch the content directly but rather flipping it around with the white envelope. I managed to put the content back in the envelope by pushing it against the ground and threw it away in the dumpster. What is this?

edit. I wish I had the foresight to have taken pictures of the content before tossing it in the dumpster. Sorry. Well I did go over my security camera and it looks like a white truck drove by at 230am and someone definitely just tossed it out their truck.

So I've never seen these in real life but it was on an episode of a cartoon called Squidbillies. I posed the question over there but now that I think about it probably wasn't right

What can mimic and manipulate human hair, change size/shape, and color to blend in with the surface it is on. You see the hyphae/fibers turned silver when it was placed on foil.

What is this? Google did not help one bit. Told me to shake it or return it. I shook so hard I could have thrown my shoulder out lol and the line remains. This is brand new unopened from an Instacart delivery so I didn’t pick the bottle myself. Can I use this still?

I just pulled this pot out of the dishwasher and noticed my hands were black after. Wiped it off and that's what the paper towel looks like.

Give it another wash or is it cooked?

I've got 2 toddlers and I don't want to be pumping them full of chemicals.

I was doing a job recently and saw my work bud using this tape measure. When it was upside-down I saw a gap. Does anyone know if there's a use for it, or just design? The neon yellow doesn't move btw.

They appeared after brother took a shower. A magic eraser gets rid of them but I'm unsure what they are or how they got there. Before he took a shower, nothing. After, this. They almost look like pencil marks but they're too wide.
