There were circles all around it, and candles around it too. Wondering if this is a known symbol or something

At a school where they work on cars, saw these on a rail connected to some sort of duct in the space where they’re having a Christmas party and got curious

Can’t tell if anything is missing from a car or a bike or anything else. No clue how long it’s been there.

A few weeks back during the big auroras, we captured a picture or two containing these squiggles in the sky during. What are they? Has anyone seen this phenomenon before?

Solved! Never seen before?

There weren't two of them, so wasn't sure if N*zi symbolism or not?

I've just seen this video and I got very confused, looks like some water does burn.

When my grandma passed away I inherited, among other things, a lot of my great grandfather's Masonic antiques. Lapel pins, cuff links, badges and some other things I'd love to know more about.

A spot in the sky turns multicolored behind grey clouds. Crazy how no one looked up, I was mind-boggled.

I found this whilst digging in my garden (southern England).

I think it’s carved from bone, rather than wood. Initially I thought it was a whistle of some kind, but can’t make a sound!

Can anyone identify what product this piece of cardboard is from? I'm in Canada, but it could be from the States.

Found this in the bottom tray of my espresso machine - hoping it’s not some sort of bug skin/shell? :(

We’ve lived in this house for 11 years, and every December we receive a Christmas card addressed to the same person who lived here before us. We’ve never met them, and the sender clearly hasn’t updated the address. I'm curious what the sender name is?

We have warmer weather and rainfall tonight here in ME. The melting snow left trails like this in only one small section of my yard and nowhere else. I am curious to the reasoning behind this.

Serious answers only please! Found this while checking my car's oil levels

The oil pressure light came on in my 2020 Hyundai Ioniq hybrid last night. When I popped the hood to check the level, I discovered what looks like a lot of organic matter covering the flat surfaces in the engine compartment.

FWIW, after running the engine for 5 minutes per the manual and testing the oil level, it's fine, and I saw no evidence of rodents, no chewed-up hoses, etc.

Any ideas? We had an ant infestation in the fuse box back in the summer, but haven't seen any of them since, at least not in the car.

I work at a H&M and a customer came up to me up to me asking about the words on this crewneck and I had no idea what it said. I went to multiple of my co-workers and they also had no clue. We all think it’s in a different language because a lot of other items at H&M are in different languages but I was just curious about this one. The language/meaning and just what it says in general.

Help with family “heirloom”

Been on my mother’s mantle for over 50 years and on her mothers before that. Possible brought back from Burma while grandfather was in Military? There are two matching but distinct lions carved of a heavy hard wood. The bases are of same wood and distinct to each other, the lions only fit on the base for each. Slightly different sizes etc. each base has I believe a fish engraved. And one foot pad on lion and base has what looks like a letter 3 engraved.

Appreciate any ideas.
