Haze is pretty bad where I am right now and saw the sun was this bright orange color. Took a 30x zoomed in picture and noticed these black dots. At first I thought it was due to dirty lens but then I took photos in portait and landscape, the spots show up at the same part of the sun. Around 9 o'clock position.

Due to the haze you could actually a look at it directly and can also sort of make out the spot from the photo. What could it be?

A boss of mune from decades ago gifted this to me upon returning from the Philippines. Can anybody explain the significance? I am male and so was he. He acted really weird when he gave it to me. I just would like to know what it represents to Filipinos.

Thank you.

Edit: man reddit is brutal. I was specifally asking if that held any cultural significance. It is a duck. It is wooden. Obviously I know that.

Edit 2: While some are inconsiderate, i do appreciate the answers. Anyhow, everyone be safe out there.

Edit 3: Why is this so interesting to some people? I was just curious. But thanks to all who responded, nicely or sarcastically. I think I learned a valuable Reddit leeson. As I said before. Everyone be safe and have a nice day/week/month/etc.

I suspect potential drainage lines under the ground but no idea. Newly acquired home, first time this has happened.
Photo taken yesterday. NC, USA area.

Saw this today and a search didn't turn up anything. Thoughts?

What is this thing ? At first I thought it was an old CPAP and then an espresso machine!

new apartment, been here for a few weeks but the water just started to fill this week while i was showering. pushed it off a few days thinking id just have to take my OWN hair out of the drain - pulled this instead! fun fact : im not ginger and neither is my partner. have no clue what is attached to the “hair” either.

Is this man made or part of an animal? Found on the rocks of the Ocean Shores Jetty on the Pacific Coast of Washington.

Main questions, even if the exact item isn't found, is it food/dishwasher/microwave safe or just a collectable?

..but to be honest I don’t really know as I inherited from one of my best friends who’s no longer with us and never told me. Please help me figure out what it’s for and why the black rubber or rubber like/leather like strip inside?

Looks somewhat antique, some kind of cage to hatch chicks perhaps?

Found this amongst my Grandmothers things, thought it might be a kitchen roll holder but doesn’t fit. Any ideas?

Yesterday, I made a small amount of chili sauce and didn't have a small container for it. I saw a coffee basket lying around, put the sauce in there, covered it with aluminum foil, and put it in the fridge.

When I wanted to use the chili sauce today, I noticed that the aluminum foil had four holes in it. What is this? What happened?

Ingredients: Chili peppers, garlic, herbs, sunflower oil, salt

Found this on the ground at work as I got out of my car, I'm stumped as to what this is/does.

I like it and I want to buy it. But I don’t know what it’s called. Thanks!

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?

I think the kitties found this in the kitchen (the naughtiest of boys can open drawers), no idea what it is .. spouse also has no idea. it's rubbery, slightly flexible

smol update: no one in the house smokes ... does seem like it'd be something that would slide onto something else, not threaded inside.

Found in the trunk of my used car by the spare tire. I really struggled to even describe it. I do have a trash computer to plug it into, but before I do I figured I’d ask in case it’s something interesting which I’d risk frying. My guess was an accessory for a camera slave flash, but why it has an SD card is beyond me.

Saw this while driving on the freeway…any ideas??

Visiting my mom at the hospital and seeing these everywhere. They don’t make any noise, the light doesn’t flash, and are in both rooms and hallways. Just curious!
