They're all the same on the inside, metal with a plastic ring, I know they're pokeballs but what was inside them? Was it a puzzle? A pack of cards? A figure? Nothing? It's the right size for a pack of cards Edit: I literally said that I know they're pokeballs, I just wanted to know what was in them originally, I've played multiple Pokemon games and have over 100 cards and multiple other items from the franchise, but I wasn't entirely sure what was originally inside the pokeballs because there were multiple things that could be put inside Edit 2: please don't be mean to the illiterate people, they won't be able to read your comments /hj

Solved! What the heck is this kitchen appliance?

Found this in the kitchen while house sitting for some people I know. It was in a drawer that also had cooking utensils, kitchen shears, and some other miscellaneous things.

There is a sliding black button on the side. In pictures 3-4 I show what it looks like when the button is down vs. up.

The black bar is a magnet strip for sticking it to the fridge or stove mayhaps.

Any ideas??

Didn’t see these anywhere else I went in CO. What are they used for?

Fast answers from those that deal with snow lol
Thanks all!

Update - Confirmed, “they slow down high-velocity winter winds, causing blowing snow to lose transport capacity and drop safely into designated fields rather than drifting across nearby roads and airport runways.”

Partner sent me a pic of something she spotted in the attic. It's roughly 5 inches.

Initial thoughts were it was an old piece of rope or wood or....

We live in Ireland. General City Area. Wildlife -pretty rare.

I have no other context.

Solved! Does anyone know what this device may be??

0 Upvotes

So unfortunately I do not have a photo to provide because I cant remember what it 100% looked like and my memory is pretty jumbled to bear with me. I was born in 2004 and when I was about maybe 4-6 years old I was given this device from my dad that kinda looked like a phone but it was completely horizontal. I remember the screen being an orange color and the buttons lit up orange too. the rest of the device was just black I’m pretty sure. I remember being able to play only a snippet of certain songs like Big Poppa by the notorious b.i.g. and I used it quite a bit for probably a couple months and that was it. I don’t recall if I ever did anything else on it.. I’ll share a doodle of what I’m thinking of, probably won’t help much but any ideas would be awesome!!

Edit: Solved! I was wrong about the buttons being on the bottom, lol, it’s a Nokia N-Gage

Hi so I had been gone all day and I came home and this waterbottle was this color. I am the only one who drinks flavored water in my household and the flavor I have is the Crush Watermelon (which is pink) this also has floating particulates that are dark and light. It is progressively getting darker. WHAT IS THIS?

Edit: It also foams when shaken too much

I don’t have anything on my desk that has this type of foil wrapper. Came into work this morning and it was there. Wasn’t there when I left yesterday.

Just wondering if someone is getting rowdy while I’m gone.
