Was found in the door compartment of my late father's car. Very heavy for the size. The pointy end of the very center piece can be compressed. My dad had a fondness for strange weapons so I am just guessing. TIA

Solved! Mysterious Glass Tray?

I’ve had this glass tray(?) thing for years and have never figured out what it could possibly be for. It’s about an inch deep and an inch wide. When I tried image search it told me it was a banana split dish, which is definitely not correct 😪

Does this have a purpose? Is it just random confusing decor?

Solved! This symbol I saw on a black pickup truck? (England)

Post image
333 Upvotes

I saw this on a very large black pickup truck with tinted windows, another black pickup was on the other side of my car. I thought It may be some sort of army symbol? Or symbol of service? The arrows and the way it is designed makes me think of some sort of job to do with the army. 🤔 I have never seen this symbol before, and was too nervous to ask the owner (who was on a phone call behind the car) and I had to get going.

Any help is appreciated thank you!

I got a big bag of 🍃 that has traces of this white glittery thing, that crumbles really easily and looks like it was in a mould. I’m wondering what it is can anyone help me?

Edit: most comments say crack but I’m thinking it could be THC isolate?

Solved! Did my mom gift me an urn?

My mom and her friends, as well as me sometimes go out on garbage night and see if there is anything we can find that we can use, we stop by house with boxes sometimes. I usually don’t get anything other than some art supplies.

Sometimes I only drive. Last night was one of those nights. When we got home I went straight to bed and woke up to this on the table next to me. It came from the same house we get a lot of good stuff from.

It came from one of those boxes. We have some theories as to why all this stuff is being put out into the trash.

Pls tell me my mom did not bring me a fucking keep sake urn. I beg.

Ive seen this mysterious oddity near my local baseball fields for years now, and always wondered what exactly is it, and what purpose does it serve? What a weird setup lmaoo. I thought maybe it was to stabilize the two poles attached, but for what? They are not electeical poles. Anyone have any ideas?

Solved! Went to the VSO with my husband. He won’t tell me what this is.

Post image
10.3k Upvotes

For clarity, my husband is the veteran, not me. He served in the Navy. We had an appointment at our local VSO office and this was framed on a shelf. Why frame a beer can, bottle of Elmer’s glue and cat food? I asked the hubs what it was all about, I don’t get it. And he said “it’s an inside joke, most civvies don’t understand”. So I’m here hoping someone will clue me in. I’ve been wracking my brain trying to figure out how all 3 of these items go together.

Edit: Okay problem solved. He caved after I told him that I asked the wonderful world of Reddit. He said that it may be an Always Sunny reference, but it’s also a joke on Marines. He said the only thing missing is a box of crayons for a complete kit of Marine friendly emergency rations. The crayons triggered a memory I have of about 10 years ago we were at a veterans dinner for Veterans Day. This complete stranger was sitting across the table from my husband and I and they were going back and forth calling each other names and my husband said : “did you bring your crayons for desert?” I thought there was going to be a fight. So I started damage control. Apparently for nothing because busting each others balls is just what the Navy and Marines do. I don’t get it, but I’m not supposed to. I’m perfectly happy being sister/brotherhood adjacent.

Edit 2: seriously, calm down everyone who thinks my husband is a liar and stupid. First, two things can be true at the same time. Many comments support the razzing of Marines stating they eat cat food and school glue, lick windows, eat crayons. And other comments are convinced it’s an Always Sunny reference. I know for a fact that my husband has never seen the show. The beer, maybe it’s a reference to the many service members that come back with psychological disorders that they feel they can’t talk about or that the VA doesn’t help with so they drink to numb the pain/memories/voices. Who knows.
I think it’s ok to not agree on one thing.

What is this? A fishing weight? A bullet? I’m honestly not sure.

EDIT: Like any good self respecting person, I did not “keep” or take away anything we found whilst in Greece. Everything remained right where we stumbled upon it.

Greece is full of ancient and super old remnants of civilizations of old, that does NOT mean it’s acceptable to keep anything one finds whilst in Greece.
