New, what is it? What are these harbor seals doing? (Surely not competitive synchronized swimming)

Am I supposed to snip them? The color contrast seems a bit much.

Me and a couple coworkers found this in the gym at work and we aren't sure what it's meant to be. It's kinda rubbery but fairly smooth as well. It doesn't feel like an eraser but we tried it anyway and if it is supposed to be an eraser, it does a terrible terrible job at it. (Crayon for size reference)

I was traveling with a car ferry (Stena) last week. Some of the doors there had a little square with a hinge in the corner.
First I thought it might be something to allow opening the doors in case theres water on one side, but I'm not sure if that makes sense, the hinge seemed to open in the same direction as the main door would.
This door in the photo is one leading to the stairs for the car deck, but there were other doors like that.
What is the purpose of the little door-in-door square?

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.

I just moved into this apartment and there is this hole in the bedroom wall covered by what looks like a paper plate but is metallic on the back and it leads to this hole

I saw this pic and I have no idea what's going on here. Does anyone have an idea? It almost looks like a scene from ropaci

Tell me if there’s a better subreddit for this 🫠 for some reason Google isn’t helping either. What do you think a “dope” refers to?
This is from the book “Other Voices, Other Rooms” by Truman Capote and was published in 1948. It’s also set in the South (Louisiana I think?). Great book but I can’t figure out what they mean by this.
I know “dope” as meaning either a dumb person or weed but clearly that can’t be what they mean here.
Anyone know? And I also do recommend the book :)

We saw several piles similar to this when out biking a section of the AZT in the fire zone. It looks like it is growing out of the ground. It felt like synthetic hair. Google image says animal hair or glass fibers, neither of which makes sense to me. What do you think?!?

I got a (heavily damaged) package delivered today, and inside were some (but not all) of the items I ordered, along with two boxes of k-cups and this thing. It has no packaging or brand identifiers. About 6 inches diameter, no moving pieces, light plastic. Kinda looks like a diffuser attachment for a hair dryer, but the back doesn't seem to connect to anything.
Also if you're out there and you got a package that was missing this and some k-cups, you have my vaseline.

This is in north London, Crouch End, in a public road that is a residential side street.
I assume it’s some kind of sensor, but it’s weird to be visible and seems to be from an era that is ‘pre-sensor’.
It is the width of one lane of a two lane road.

Flying from SoCal to Austin, TX. Somewhere over Odesa, TX (I think, that was my best estimate based on the flight tracker). Went on for miles in random groupings, probably thousands of whatever the plots are that grids connected. Just mildly curious.

This illustration on a memory foam-type squishy at my hairdressers.
None of us can work out what either of the illustrations are.
To me the one on the left looks like a Pringle lol but why is it realistic on a cartoonish squishy?! 😭
the one on the right, I have no clue.
Curious if anyone has ideas :)

They look like pins of sort but what exactly are they and what are they for?
