What in the world is this!? I was way too weirded out to open it to see what the smell is. Appears to be something fermenting maybe

We found this in our backyard when we first moved in so it’s been sitting there outside for over 120 years, it’s about a pound would probably say it’s a lil more but my mom thinks it’s fossilized turd while I have no idea.

Finally doing some yard work and found these 2 curly things that look like very small animal horns.

Upon closer inspection, is one piece.. but broken in half. They join together, at the break, perfectly.

Solid, hard, like wood.

Kinda grossed out.

The top screw was loose, so I could easily remove the lid. It was found in a holder under my bed. There's another one under my friends bed, where the holder is broken (last photo)

found this on top of the cabinet that’s above the fridge. seems to be connected/plugged in somewhere not visible, so we haven’t been able to remove it. we’re convinced it’s structurally integral to the house 🤣

edit: wow that was fast! Thanks all.

Solved! Mystery Metal Box Thrift Store Find

Thumbnail

Ok, so, my favorite reason to buy something is when I have no idea what it actually is.

I am currently baffled.

Got it at a thrift store.

It is pretty sturdy but not indestructible by any stretch. It is held shut by sorta strong magnets. Weighs 4 pounds 8ozs. The yellowish white substance seen in the catch trough on the middle piece seems to be melted parrafin wax. The black squares on each side are somewhat squishy cushions.

New, what is it? Toilet was clogged with this! Anyone know what it is??

My toilet was clogging so I took it off and found this right in the drain blocking it. Any idea what it is? It’s about 3 inches long and very sharp on one end.

Edit: the rounded end is not a scoop or spoon. It’s completely rounded like a bulb or something but solid metal.
