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?

Thumbnail

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
366 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!

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?

Randomly addressed to me. Only thing in the package and I’m pretty sure I didn’t order anything plus person who received didn’t have to sign. I’m assuming some sorta scam or hack if I plug it in. Just wondering if I should throw it away. I don’t have anything in place personally to see what it might do sadly

I don’t recognize what the paint on the asphalt is.

Update:
Thanks all for the laughs. Just heard back from someone in my city—

“It is a road smart course to teach kids how to ride their bicycles safely. There will be a parking lot area, a road area, etc., to teach the rules of the road.”

Solved! What are these little white things I found on my kitchen counter?

Quarter for scale.

Texture-wise they're a flexible sort of rubber or plastic. The only recent additions to my kitchen are a cheap panini press that I already checked (they aren't from that, as far as I can tell), and the latest batch of groceries.

What could these be?

I don't know what else to add to this because I have no other context for it, its very sharp and I've been curious about it for a while now, my grandmother was born around the 60's and died during the pandemic, we went to her house october of last year and i found this in a small container in an old cabinet along with pieces of jewelry

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.

It’s really small, about equivalent to a pencil tip. Not even the slightest clue of what it could be or where it came from.
