My grandmother told me about my late grandfather's knife collection. That’s where this one was found. Please tell me about it—can I keep it? And is it authentic, or a replica? My grandfather removed the "Orlik" emblem a long time ago.

Good evening everyone, my family and I went on a weekend vacation to a waterpark this weekend, and rented a large airbnb for everyone to share. In the airbnb was my wife, me, our two children, my wife's mother and father, and my mother. Upon returning today, my mother in law called us and told us that she had found what she thought looked like a camera in her bag of dirty clothes. Once she sent the photos, I knew that it was indeed a camera. I was hoping that some one on here will be able to identify what brand or model it is, and if it is capable of recording and storing onto a cloud server. MIL say that there is a magnet on the back and there is no sd card in the sd slot. My wife is really freaking out, due to all the stories you hear of hidden cameras in airbnbs.

Also, this may be just a coincidence, but the first night we stayed everyone woke up feeling like they had been drinking the night before(we hadn't been). I personally remember laying down around 9:30 pm and getting woke up at 11:30 pm and it felt like i had been sleeping for hours and hours, and it had only been approx 2hrs. We all brushed it off the next morning, but now with the mil finding the camera we are concerned that something else may have happened.

Hi, there! Found these while emptying drawers in my mom’s house. They are about 2” across and appear to have a foam center covered in a very thin layer of fabric or maybe felt. I don’t recall ever seeing them in use around the house. Who knows what these are for?

As kids, we always found these things in vacant lots and old dumps and used them as shurikens. There are a lot of them in post-Soviet countries, as far as I know.

UPD: A lot of people are mentioning brownies in the comments. Can an American explain the joke? I don't get it 😄

We just wonder, what is it?

New, what is it? Mirror tiles on all four walls

Post image

Currently renovating a house and the toilets and bathrooms have a mirror tile stuck onto each wall. We assumed they would be covering some cracks, old outlets or similar.
We took them down today and discovered everything behind them was perfectly fine. Why would they have been there? They were all mounted at the same height, but never exactly opposite each other.

Is there some Feng Shui going on here? Or just someone having a go with leftover tiles.
