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??

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??

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

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.”

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

My parents found this in a cabinet in their house today. It was on a shelf where they store supplies for a power outage (headlamps, flashlights, candles, etc.) My mom says it’s roughly the same size as headlamp. Any help would be appreciated!

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.

Purchased these on Poshmark, new without box. Seller had good reviews. No red flags. Shoes arrived quickly. They were packed well, and had original tags. I inspected them closely and found no issues - they were perfect. I wore them to work and they felt great until around noon when I noticed there was grit inside them. I took them off and found this. Any ideas how this could happen and if the seller could have known?

I was halfway through drinking this Canada dry before noticing the yellow thimble shaped thing. It's slimy once you take it out...

I didn't add anything into the bottle after opening. What the hell is this?
