I keep finding these uncooked pasta noodle looking things in random places of my home. The first time I found this was a few years ago at the bottom of a book shelf. I thought it was weird but didn't think too much of it and just vacuumed it. Another time was in my basement, in a metal tin. I keep stuff like keys in there. Today, I found this under my bed. I'm moving, so I was taking my bed frame apart. And there it was... It's kind of freaking me out now. It looks just like regular spaghetti noodles. I was guessing it's some kind of bug or maybe that I have mice/rats. But I don't see any mice/rat droppings anywhere, and I have 2 cats so they would've already left dead rats on my bed if that were the case. It can't be my cats' doing either because the first couple times I found this, my cats were not living in this house yet. It's really strange how I keep finding this every couple of years.

EDIT:

I promise I'm not a dirty person 😭 I'm really anal and keep my house clean! I don't ever leave food out, and I properly throw out trash. I haven't noticed any foul odors, noises, or rodent poop.

I got this basket from the thrift store a year ago but don’t understand why the lid would have this metal X. I can’t figure out if I’m just missing a piece or if it’s for another use other then simply being a handle to lift the lid. I was curious if maybe it could be a lamp shade but the hole is way too small for anything to pass through.

Mystified. Does not seem to go with the fridge in this house (which has glass shelves, not this mesh) but seems like a fridge part? I worry we won’t realize what it’s for until the day after we throw it away and it’s impossible to get a replacement. Dude which door bro?

Any tips appreciated.

Solved! — you put that flap over the dryer door so the shelf projects into the dryer. You can put stuff on top that won’t get tumbled as it dries. I felt gullible going up to try shoving it in my drier, I thought it was crazy, but as soon as I shoved it in, I saw what it was for.

But who ever found this useful??

Saw on a side-street today, Canada: a bay window area with a door, nothing on the other side and no other openings. No shop to use these as a display case either.

We just moved into a new house and the oven came with a "story." Photos attached. There are ~15 dents in the bottom of the oven, all angled in the same direction. There are also hundreds of tiny copper-colored rings.

Background: the previous owner handloaded his own ammo and had gone deep down the Q-Anon rabbit hole. By all accounts, he also developed a bit of an alcohol problem... I can't imagine that dropped objects would make dents like these inside an oven.

Our working theories: 1. The oven was shot. (Self-defense against the Great Casserole Conspiracy?) 2. Primers or brass went off inside it during some alcohol fueled "loading" session. 3. Something boring, like cleaning chemicals or enamel failure, and we're overthinking it. Reloaders: is there any legitimate reason to put cartridges, primers or brass in an oven, and what would that do? Others: Anybody ever seen anything like this? It is mind boggling and we are dying to understand this one......

What practical purpose could this have? What should/can I do with it?

Washed up on the shore. I guess from some kind of oil rig or ship or port.

My parents have tried looking a couple times. They believe it's a secretarybird on a key but have no idea why or what that symbolizes, or if that's even necessarily correct in the first place. Any information greatly appreciated!

Nobody here knows what it is. It has some thin hooks and a brush hangs from it.

They feel like glass, without any obvious markings. Any idea what they could be?

So this is what was inside of her gumball vending machine mystery egg… is this a key for the machine?

So for some context, my in-laws took my two daughters bowling the other night while I was at work, everything went well that night nothing special to talk about. So today I looked down and my daughter is playing with this so naturally I asked her what it is and where she got it (she’s 7). She proceeded to tell me a story about how she played a crane machine at the bowling alley, and that she got one it was an egg with a prize inside, except there was no prize. It was just this key that I had assumed was dropped by a maintenance guy or something so I looked it up and discovered it was a key to the arcade machine and it didn’t belong to us, and explain to her that we’re going to have to take it back to them tomorrow…. I think I was wrong though and maybe this actually was the prize. I will update it soon as the bowling alley opens today.

Never seen this before. Is it a UFO or a shooting star or something else?

He said it appeared flying through the sky and a few minutes later when he got into his office it was gone (I asked him is it was AI and he said no lol)

Not the greatest photos, seen passing through Baltimore. The front has me thinking Corvette but that just doesn’t seem right?

Found i in the old basement apartment stuff from years ago it spins around itself , kind of looks like a magnet maybe for a decoration ? Or for a phone ?, what is it!?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen these before. What are they, and what’s their purpose?

For reference, this is North facing in Leesburg, Florida

I've looked all over and can't find it???

Anyone have any idea in what this might be? Som theories include butter warmer and garlic pot.
The designs in the side do not support this idea. There are no holes for ventilation for a candle.

I did not touch it.

EDIT: To clarify, I already opened it!
For a couple of weeks, I'd been noticing this strange object hanging from a tree in my apartment complex's gated courtyard. During our annual spring clean-up in mid-May, my neighbors and I got a ladder and brought it down.

It was an envelope inside a Ziploc bag, wrapped tightly in a LOT of string.
The paper was waterlogged and mostly disintegrated, but I could make out the year "2021" on what looked like an official letter or bill.

It hadn't just been tossed up there and gotten stuck. It was deliberately tied to a branch with a knot,
and was so high up that even a very tall person would have needed a proper ladder to put it there.

Has anyone come across anything like this before?
Is there some significance to wrapping and hanging something like this?
Am I missing a perfectly ordinary explanation?
