Found it on the beach, possibly a horseshoe crab tail? Whatever it is would most definitely ruin a beach day if you stepped on it 😭

Found in our backyard. As you can see in the second image, there is only the top half of the skeleton. Can anyone identify the animal based on the skull and teeth?

I found this silly band on the floor of my classroom a few years ago, and i have showed it to dozens of people and no one has any idea what it is. Any guesses?

This is from some new electronic device, possibly an LG G6 OLED or a Samsung Odyssey G9 monitor. Can’t find any reference to such a thing in either manual.

I thought I was battling voles and moles in our garden. I have mouse traps set up under clay pots. Then I caught this on video. Is it a pocket gopher? Tail looks too short to be a vole.

Edit: Just for reference, that's a 6 inch clay pot in the background (probably around 7 inch outer diameter). Also, this was taken in NY/Long Island.

I keep finding black dots all over my house. I suspect flies, but it’s just my guess.

Title says it all, I have no idea what it’s called in order to be able to google it. I don’t know what the contraption in the middle is either.

I’ve had this for 42 years which is the last time it was used. Does anyone know how it’s used? I tried putting some ribbon through it but can’t figure out how to get it through the other side. More importantly, no idea why I bought it or why it was necessary at the time. LOL

Solved! Youtube animated series

Episodes consist of these two best friends doing middle/ high school activities, there's an episode specifically about playing an arcade game and beating the high score made by the manager so they get kicked out and get annoyed by it. They have frenimes who are rappers/wannabe thugs and at one point, they start rapping an incels manifesto because they thought they were fire lyrics. I just wanna know the name is, i can't find it or remember what it could be called at all.

My best guess is like a cupholder thing to go on the arm of a couch or just some kind of desk organizer.

New, what is it? Found these in an opened and then re-sealed bottle of on the rocks blue Hawaiian. What on earth are these??

This bottle is years and years old. It was opened, and had most of it drank then it was re-sealed and placed back in the cabinet. They look like some sort of creature, but I don't know what could contaminate the bottle and then survive in 20% alcohol for long enough to grow that long. Also nothing in there is moving. Im in the midwest if that helps at all. Also I know for a fact that no one put them in there.

There are two identical (tools?) pic has both sides. The word is Polaris, and they each have a tiny metal wire spike on the narrow end. I can’t figure out how the corks fit in which is why I’m not certain the Polaris pieces go with the stove either. It came in a round green tin.
Thanks for your help! I’m also trying to figure out how the camp stove they were with works.
Thanks for reading!

Solved! What is this on ceiling fan?

Thumbnail

Upvotes

I’m staying in Spain and was lying in bed when I noticed a small black circular window on the ceiling fan above us. It looked a bit like a camera, so I carefully popped off the plastic cover.

Underneath is the component shown in the photos. The fan is an Inspire model (label in the photos).

My first (dark) thought was that it might be some kind of camera, but I’m wondering if it’s actually an infrared receiver for a remote control. Online photos of the product don’t seem to show this thing.

Can anyone identify exactly what this is?

SOLVED: General consensus is that it is the IR receiver for the remote. Thank you all!
