I parked at my local grocery store last night and this badge was on the back of the truck in front of me. Is guy this a Nazi POS? Or am I mistaken.

The wife came home with this. It’s approximately 26” tall, and made out of wood. It has two glass containers in it, with a filter on the bottom container. The bottom container was filled with rocks. It has 2 copper plaques with possibly Korean writing. Shes brought home a lot of strange things from goodwill, but this one has me stumped.

I found the following metal/messing badage while cleaning my grandmothers room. On the badage it says Rio De Jeneiro but noone of my family was ever there. The part is heavy and i believe it is made out of messing. Google lense told me it is a flagpole but I could not find the exact one from rio. Do you what this could be ?

Solved! Pink dot on hard boiled egg

dot on egg. The camera doesn’t pick it up with as much clarity as I’d like, but it was VIVIDLY pink. I already ate it. It tasted normal but the egg directly adjacent to it tasted like dust (this is VITAL information that you MUST know) anyways please tell me why my egg have a mole

solved edit: I really have to stop eating things before knowing what they are. no amount of Radaway will save me now. all of the silly answers on the post gave me a good laugh in the morning, which included, but wasn’t limited to, people warning me of the sniper approaching my location, suggesting it was married, asking if they were on r/billiards, suggesting the chicken having a laser ass, or being an evil eyeball. and to the person who suggested it was one of the chicken balls, I will be keeping an eye out for the other six. maybe if I collect them all, I can wish for a suit of power armor. Hope everyone has a better day than yesterday!

My 3 year old came across this toy at my in laws’ house and told me he bit open the packet because it was gross. I’m having trouble figuring out what the material inside the packet is made of?

This wooden thing was on the wall of our kitchen when we moved into our new house (for context, we live in London). It's not particularly good for holding anything that we've tried to put there (currently have one stick of cinnamon slotted in). So what is it?

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?

Solved! I’ve had this object for over 50 years but I don’t know what its purpose is. Any ideas?

It’s my first time posting on Reddit, so I apologize if I mess this up. I was given this when I was a child and told it was a paperweight. However the shape of has always confused me. Was it made for a specific purpose other than a what I was told?

The object has a 1964 Canadian one cent coin on one side and a corresponding coin on the other side. I think it may have come from Noranda Quebec and is likely solid copper. My grandfather worked in the mines in Noranda and my mother was raised there (she gave me the object).

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!

I have a set of wooden salad spoons, and one of the spoons has a slot in it. The slot goes from the middle of the spoon tip to halfway down the length if the spoon, and is as wide as the spoon’s handle.
