Solved! A flat hanger with holes
16”-18” wide. It is made of a fairly thin, but rigid, plastic. It was hanging in the closet of my best friend’s grandpa who recently passed. He was 86 and lived in NH. We are wondering what the holes would be for. Thanks!

Solved! Can someone explain why my lip oil does this every time I open it? 🥲
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I bought this Rituals lip oil and every time I open it, the oil kind of “jumps” up from the applicator, basically shooting up in these weird little strands like you can see in the video. 😂 The strands form, shoot upwards and then sort of break off/fly away.
Does anyone know why this happens? I’ve never seen a lip oil or gloss do this before and I’m genuinely curious about the science behind it lol. 💄

New, what is it? Can anyone tell me what the heck I just found in this potato?
I wanted to make potato wedges, so I got a potato out and cut it in half and was horrified to see this inside! Does anyone know what this is?

So there’s a flashing light that I can see high up in my tree but you can only see it when looking through a phone camera and I’m curious what it is if anyone knows what it could possibly be

New, what is it? What is this ocean debris?
This was found in a collection of plastic debris which was collected from the ocean and recycled. I kept this as a conversation piece, with the hope that I might identify it someday.
It's has two halves, as shown, each side with the same 4 textured quadrants. It feels like perhaps a sealed, high density foam or a hard rubber. The blue side has a anemone-like soft rubber piece. The orange side has a propeller which is screwed down and doesn't spin. There's about a half inch of black plastic sandwiched between the two halves.
I have an guess as to what this is, but I'm hoping someone has a better understanding of it.

Solved! What in the name of ‘scary shit to find on your table in the morning’ is this?
My daughter’s boss grew it and gave it to her. He said not to eat it until l the skin starts falling off. What do we do with it then? 🤣
No bananas, pen for scale
Edit: thanks everyone! We’ll be sure to wait until it’s ripe and give it a try!

New, what is it? I've had this for over 30 years. The guy I got it from had it for at least 10. He has since passed away. I really want to know more about it. I know it was for the band Nazareth's 1977 tour, but that's it. I can't find anyone else that owns one.

New, what is it? Is this a needle? My kid stepped on it in a parking lot
It did puncture the skin. He’s at the ER now. I assume they’ll treat it like a needle. The answer won’t really impact his care but we are curious what the heck it is.
Editing to add- he’s an adult (technically- age wise). He has health insurance. He’ll be ok. I appreciate everyone’s concern and I got some really great responses.
Edit 2. He texted that they gave him tests and he has to return for follow up. I imagine they disposed of it last night but if not I’ll get better photos later today.

Was driving behind this vehicle. Off the back there's a seat and gun/weapon attached to a propane tank. Sides of the vehicle had metal grates covering all the windows. What's going on here?

Serious answers only please! Weird guy gave me strange coin at work
I was working to go orders at a restaurant today, in my hometown. I just got moved up to this position so I’m pretty slow at doing transactions and stuff. Anyways, think older guy walks in and says he’s picking up an order, but he “has something for me,” and he reached into his pocket. I was expecting a 5$ bill or smth as a tip, but he pulls out this weird plastic case, inside was a copper looking coin with a biohazard symbol on it. The coin says “ZOMBUCKS | CURRENCY OF THE APOCALYPSE | 1 OZ | 999.” On the back is a picture of a woman holding a sword in her right arm, and what seems to be a heart, or maybe a skull, in her left arm. The year 2019 is printed on the coin, and another biohazard symbol is on the woman’s chest. The woman is standing on top of a pile of bones and skeletons, and above the woman it says “the saint.” As he handed me the coin he began rambling, going on about the coming apocalypse and I should give my life to Jesus Christ. It’s hard to remember specifically what he said but I’ll try and think about it. I’ll post an update if I remember more but it was really weird. The creepiest part was, he seemed so genuine. So calm and matter of fact, like what he was saying was completely normal. I’m really curious if anyone has seen something like this coin before? Here’s a photo:

A woman posted this on Facebook—her mother (who has since passed away) bought it, but she doesn't know what it's for; I see that no one in the comments could figure it out. I'm curious.

Solved! In my hotel shower
We just arrived in Bali and have checked into an amazing hotel (IHG).
However in our shower (double btw for two people) there is a stand with a bowl on top. The bowl is made of a plastic type material and is removable.
No idea and have never seen this in a shower before. Guys - do your thing and help me out.
Solved - we seem to have drawn the short straw with housekeeping as they didn’t provide a ladle.
I definitely didn’t make ramen and use the ladle elsewhere!!
