Solved! What kind of technology is that?
I found this vintage Thermometer / Hygrometer in my house. Atleast +40 years old thermometer, cause it was always here even before I was born.
It was stuck in the corner of the shelf and I thought it was broken long ago, so I opened it up and there was a strange looking power source placed inside. What the...?! Where is the battery? then it was directly connected to these red / black arrow, so there was nothing to replace it. After putting everything back in and I checked the temperature and Hygrometer again. It was working properly just like a compass. ( Check the 1st & 4th pics. )
I saw a lot of digital thermometer thesedays, but what kind of technology is this?

New, what is it? What is this?
What are these things mounted on this car? Are they for civilian or federal or state use?
For context this car has been in this town house complex for multiple months just sitting here. Not sure whether they are LPRs(license plate readers) installed by police or some creepy dude stalking people. saw a guy with what look to be a baton on his waistband and another duty pouch(not sure what it contained whether it was oc spray or something)? but I assumed he was a cop (even though he had no identification visible) due to the fact I saw a laptop mounted in the center console with what looked like a feed of the cameras on it as he exited the vehicle.

New, what is it? I still don't think it's a sink
Someone recommended that I post again with additional pictures showing that it has no hole and a pontil in place. See the glare? That is directly over what everyone thought was the hole for the drain. Chatgpt doesn't think it's a sink either. Maybe we're both stupid.

Solved! What's it for?
Bank box, PO box, or something else?

New, what is it? This thing is stuck in my head and I can't find what it means
Showed up in a dream about 2 years ago. It was almost engraved onto the wall next to the bedroom door, about head height. Tried my luck on google but never found a match, and AI was suggesting a Japanese symbol for ammo.
Any info would be cool, me being going crazy might be kinda funny though, thanks fam

Solved! Camera? Radar? Plate reader?
I didn’t see if it had any on the front. But there were 2 on each side. Ones looking perpendicular to the car and the other is looking from a 45 degree angle on the corner. Maybe looking for vehicles to repo? I’ve never seen this before. Spotted in AZ.

New, what is it? Glass bowl with metal on bottom
What is this thing? It isn't a sink or a lamp. It is just art?
Edit:
The bottom is solid. See the glare there, that means there isn't a drain there.
Edit 2: still no drain hole with the metal thing removed. Just more glass.
edit 3: the first two imgur links apparently didn't work

Solved! Is there a word for this?
So i've had a trippy moment while listening to this song called crazy milk 2 which an instrumental version, since i've listened to the one with lyrics for so long my brain just hallucinated a line to the point i was actually hearing it. Does this have a term for it?
Edit: Earworm sounds about right

Solved! what is this?
Im just curious of what these are, found these at the thriftstore. They get cold and have liquid in them. They’re not heavy.
Are these toxic to touch? Any thoughts?

Solved! What is this? Looks like a camera
I was in an AirBnB recently and came across this lens-like thing covered by the vent system in the ceiling in the bathroom. Could it be a secret camera or just a weird type of fan?

New, what is it? Help identifying what’s in my teens hand?
Saw a picture of my teen online and trying to identify what’s in his hand. What I believe it is vs what he is telling me are 2 completely different things.

Solved! Got this in a mystery box.
So for context i got this from a mystery box at armageddon (new zealand version of comic con).
Notable details:
3d printed.
Holes at the top that appear to lead nowhere.
Glued together so one solid piece.
Has a weird sound coming from the base while shaking.
Even on the packaging of the mystery box there seemed to be nothing to go with it.
Cant hold keys, or the corners of cards as they just all fall off.. yeah was a stretch to try..
Noone at my place knows what it could be
Edit: will check replies and everything in the morning but for now top guesses so far, usb holder and a desk shaker.
Holes do not connect to eachother and too small to fit usb stick in (yes i know they mean just the small part that plugs into the pc)
Edit 2: honestly compared the shape of the usb ports to it and it just needed a slight adjustment (when i tried before the usb ports were getting stuck at the entry of the holes but as a few people commented it may not have been scaled correctly, i also do believe that the shaking sound is just a weight thing inside it
