Saw on a side-street today, Canada: a bay window area with a door, nothing on the other side and no other openings. No shop to use these as a display case either.

I have a feeling that it is a toy of pleasure

We just moved into a new house and the oven came with a "story." Photos attached. There are ~15 dents in the bottom of the oven, all angled in the same direction. There are also hundreds of tiny copper-colored rings.

Background: the previous owner handloaded his own ammo and had gone deep down the Q-Anon rabbit hole. By all accounts, he also developed a bit of an alcohol problem... I can't imagine that dropped objects would make dents like these inside an oven.

Our working theories: 1. The oven was shot. (Self-defense against the Great Casserole Conspiracy?) 2. Primers or brass went off inside it during some alcohol fueled "loading" session. 3. Something boring, like cleaning chemicals or enamel failure, and we're overthinking it. Reloaders: is there any legitimate reason to put cartridges, primers or brass in an oven, and what would that do? Others: Anybody ever seen anything like this? It is mind boggling and we are dying to understand this one......

Nobody here knows what it is. It has some thin hooks and a brush hangs from it.

What practical purpose could this have? What should/can I do with it?

So this is what was inside of her gumball vending machine mystery egg… is this a key for the machine?

So for some context, my in-laws took my two daughters bowling the other night while I was at work, everything went well that night nothing special to talk about. So today I looked down and my daughter is playing with this so naturally I asked her what it is and where she got it (she’s 7). She proceeded to tell me a story about how she played a crane machine at the bowling alley, and that she got one it was an egg with a prize inside, except there was no prize. It was just this key that I had assumed was dropped by a maintenance guy or something so I looked it up and discovered it was a key to the arcade machine and it didn’t belong to us, and explain to her that we’re going to have to take it back to them tomorrow…. I think I was wrong though and maybe this actually was the prize. I will update it soon as the bowling alley opens today.

Not the greatest photos, seen passing through Baltimore. The front has me thinking Corvette but that just doesn’t seem right?

I've looked all over and can't find it???

EDIT: To clarify, I already opened it!
For a couple of weeks, I'd been noticing this strange object hanging from a tree in my apartment complex's gated courtyard. During our annual spring clean-up in mid-May, my neighbors and I got a ladder and brought it down.

It was an envelope inside a Ziploc bag, wrapped tightly in a LOT of string.
The paper was waterlogged and mostly disintegrated, but I could make out the year "2021" on what looked like an official letter or bill.

It hadn't just been tossed up there and gotten stuck. It was deliberately tied to a branch with a knot,
and was so high up that even a very tall person would have needed a proper ladder to put it there.

Has anyone come across anything like this before?
Is there some significance to wrapping and hanging something like this?
Am I missing a perfectly ordinary explanation?

They feel like glass, without any obvious markings. Any idea what they could be?

I was gifted a pocket knife which I generally just use for opening packages but I'm perplexed by this hook-like structure on the bottom. It's obviously designed to serve a function but I'm at a loss for what it is. It looks like it has a small blade tucked away in the crevice but I have no idea why.

Anyone have any idea in what this might be? Som theories include butter warmer and garlic pot.
The designs in the side do not support this idea. There are no holes for ventilation for a candle.

My dad gets rolls of gold dollars for kids piggy banks, he got this coin and I dont know the denomination or value. Banana for scale

My parents have tried looking a couple times. They believe it's a secretarybird on a key but have no idea why or what that symbolizes, or if that's even necessarily correct in the first place. Any information greatly appreciated!

It's made of wood and the part with what looks like a clover is slightly recessed.

It has a slit that stops at the clover-looking part.

It also has a slight curve.

I thought maybe it was a bookmark (like, a page would slide into the slit or something) but given the size/thickness, I don't think that would be very practical.

Thanks in advance! 🙏🏻❤️

In the second photo you can see that one side is serrated.

We think it may be to spark a flintstone but we are not sure. If it is, then it was made for left handed people i guess.

It’s in the title. Not sure what this is. My moms had it forever but I’ve never seen her use it

Edit: Solved! A cognac/port pipe.

I was thinking it might be a cigarette dispenser, but why would it also play music??

It was attached to the name tag and is hollow in the middle.

Bought these at a yard sale as “vintage jell-o molds”, but then saw a photo in a cook book with a small brioche roll baked in something that looks like these? I love them! Just not sure what they’re for…! (Lighter for scale)

For starters, if you really want to go down a rabbit hole, this is the infamous "JCM Farming Compound" in Indio, CA. Lots of rumors and speculation as to what really goes on there, as well as what purpose the compound truly serves. I found some recently-taken drone shots, not sure why the quality is dark (maybe there was a filter on the lens), and noticed these odd cylinders all along the 4 ft thick security wall, as well as just outside it. FYI, it is highly rumored that there is a large underground section of this property. Could these possibly be shafts indicating a sub-level?
