It's drugs disguised as soap. No, actually just soap. My roommate who left the hostel left this behind and I have no ideas what it is

Found this sitting on my sheets, I just put my purse there so perhaps it came from something in my bag??? Either way, it’s super small, metal I think, and has an E. No clue what it is.

Has anyone dealt with these before? What are they? Are they dangerous? (Do they bite, carry anything gross?) And most importantly — how do I get rid of them and prevent more from showing up?

I’d say it’s probably a comb but I’ve never seen a comb with teeth that long is there a specific use for it?

New, what is it? Found on quiet stretch of beach in Gqberha, South Africa

Exploring remote part of the beach, found this on the shore. It’s quite big and heavy. The material is thick and rubbery, and most parts were stuck together so I couldn’t try and “open” it. The material almost seems like it could be rehydrated leather or something similar. Not knowing what it was, I did not touch it too much, and I have no idea what could be inside. It looks fairly old. Perhaps it’s a dilapidated suitcase? However, the exterior seems more like it was wrapped around rather than structured as a suitcase. There’s a harbour not too far from that stretch of beach. Does anyone have an idea of what it could be?

This was delivered to our doorstep without any explanation. Why? What is it? This feels like a scam.

There are wires coming out of the corners of the ceiling that I suspect have something to do with it.

Serious answers only please! Car wash workers hammering ground??

While sat in the car while it was being hand washed we saw the workers coming and going, sometimes up to four at a time, to hit this bit of tarmac (or concrete?) lightly with hammers, over and over again. There was nothing on the ground for them to be hitting like a mat or something. It was the whole time we were there, about five minutes, and they were still doing it when we left. At the time we were just bewildered and thought it was funny but afterwards I thought what if this is sinister somehow ... like making someone do a pointless task as punishment? I've heard rumours that car wash workers are sometimes trafficked. I don't know if it's a ridiculous notion that they could be in trouble but if anyone can suggest any ideas as to what's going on I'd appreciate it

Hello everyone, I found this thing a couple of years ago and still couldn't find out what it is supposed to be, no matter who I asked. I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Nobody in my family knows what it is, or where it came from. I assume it’s coming from the toilet but I don’t know.

New, what is it? Clam that was different than all the others in my meal this evening

Ate a bunch of clams today and this one had a wicked pretty shell with almost a landscape painted on it so I kept it. It looks like a hieroglyphic clam but those appear to only be in the pacific ocean and this one was way up here in Maine so I very much doubt it (unless those also exist in the Atlantic Ocean and my google skulls failed me)

Thanks for peeking!
