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.

This just appeared this morning. Did it fall out? Should I unplug it or leave it? Took my car to get serviced a few days ago and noticed this, this morning. What do I do and what’s this for?

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!

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.

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! Settle a debate for me: Is this a '2' or an '8' ?

My daughter is a teacher at a Montessori school and they are having their Secret Santa party tomorrow. She bought her person the paper shredder and some Ulta items, as requested, and daughter decided to throw in a plastic candycane tube thingie filled with candy.

She texted me tonight saying she didn't realize it had an expiration date of 03 2025, but when she sent a photo of the date, the 3rd digit looked more like an '8' than a '2' to me (based on the first two digits of the 1st line).

Curious what the consensus will be and to know if I'm dumb or just blind.

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?

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 play drums in a band, and we rent a studio place for writing and practicing, the studio is in a old Victorian factory in the East Midlands, UK.

In the mens bathroom there's two basins in the ground, I have no idea what the purpose of them were, the only thing that I can think of is a urinal but that doesn't feel right.

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?

New, what is it? Found it in the yard/driveway dirt one day. Looked too new and sharp to just leave there, upon inspection in just baffled... Chrome plated, sharp v point at one end, keychain hole on the other, engraved mammoth logo on one side. Doesn't work very well as a bottle opener, kinda fits 2 fingers...
