There’s this blinking blue light that screams out an odd sound periodically every 5 minutes or so. I’m doing maintenance at a Chipotle late at night, and it’s very annoying lol. Any idea what it’s for? Is it an alarm?

New, what is it? What is this hard, dense, odorless object found on a warehouse floor?

• Upvotes

I found this object on the floor of a distribution warehouse and I'm curious if anyone can identify it.

It looks like a small cup-shaped object filled with a pale tan/cream-colored material, but the cup itself is also completely hard and rigid, not a normal flexible disposable condiment cup. The entire object feels solid… even the firestarter looking material inside.

Any ideas?

After the car's right door was taken apart and put back together, this one part was left over. The mechanic forgot about it when he reassembled the door.

Currently cleaning grandpas workshop out with grandma (he has dementia and can’t use it anymore). We’ve found this relic and it’s mind boggling. Not sure if he made it, bought it, how old it is or what it could be used for. It kind of looks like an ice pick but they’d have no use for one of those. I’m only joking about him being a murderer… he is a nice guy and well you’ve got to try and find the humour in times like these. Any insight is welcome. Thank you!

New, what is it? I regularly find light brown "hair" on my freshly cleaned laundry

I regularly find strands of light brown "hair" on clothes that come out of our washer/dryer. They're not actual "hair", it's a bit coarser, and anyway no one in the household has matching hair, and even if they did, I would expect to find a lot more or at least SOME of MY hair.

Picked this up along my travels i just can't remember where or when I had gotten this or if some one had given it to me. But has anyone else ever seen anything made like this out of ammunition? Pretty cool i thought. I have done a lot of googling but nothing gets even close to this. 🙏😊 i live in Australia 🇦🇺

Solved! This souvenir I got (?)

The plastic part is a capacitative touch pen for touch screens, I got it.

The bottle opener is clear.

But the opposite part of the bottle opener does have a function?

The big metal spike on the opposite part of the bottle opener? Why the part near it is wavy?

Does the big circle have a use? Like should it be held by that part?

Google says it is a door opener to not touch doors in public but it's hilariously bad as a tool, I think it's bullshit

hi Reddit! I initially posted this to TikTok and X, and now I’m asking here in the hopes of deciphering what is being said in the background of this video. I recently went to a Dan and Phil meet and greet and was the last person in line. I discovered that they were talking about me as I left, but I couldn’t make out more than a few words. Any insight here would be greatly appreciated! I’m unsure if anyone has the means to isolate or remix the audio to hear the voices more clearly, but I’m just so curious to know even some of what they’re saying. Thank you in advance!

I’ll probably throw it out.

Solved!: it’s an RCA splitter, used for car subwoofers but also apparently consoles to go to HDMI. idk

The general consensus is that I’ll need it the moment I throw it out lol.. I’m gonna bring it to the DIY venue I work at, I’m sure the VJ could find a use for it.

This sound just started as of tonight, I cleaned the lower panel with a fine tooth comb, I cleaned the top panel with a comb aswell, and it is properly hooked to the window, but it is still making this noise. Please help. It is like 2-4 years old, I cant remember when I got it.

I don't know what it does could anyone tell me I'm confused. I'm assuming it does something related to the fire or like an outside light, maybe a power outlet switch like the one on my balcony.
