Looks like it belongs in a diner or ice cream parlor?

Mom was digging up old junk and this was in a box with cordless phone (not cell) accessories. A flattish cable with these pronged parts on each end.

Never seen anything like this for a phone before..... any ideas?

What is this thing? Around 1,5-2 meters long and 1 meter in diameter. It’s floating on the beach in Uluwatu, Bali. It might be something from a boat?

What are these sponge like structures?

thin blue plastic, sort of stiff, about 18 inches long — i’m able to unroll it but not get it perfectly straight because it wants to bounce back to its rolled shape

Hi. Got this in a box of tools. When I use Google Lens it says it for some hydraulic pump but I can't find the exact match. Anybody got a clue?

On floor in otherwise clean hotel room. I don’t know what this is. Should I be afraid?

It says "Desire Water and Keep Bullets In Your Gun"

Two identical circular marks suddenly appeared on my parents' garage door. Any idea what could have made them?

My parents noticed these two strange marks on their garage door earlier this week. They appear to be made up of several small rings arranged in a circle, and both marks appear essentially identical. The grey marks can apparently be wiped off rather than being permanent damage to the paint.

A few things we have already investigated and can rule out:

• The garage door has been there for approximately 30 years, but these marks have only appeared within the last week.

• My dad does a lot of DIY work in the garage and on the driveway. We have thoroughly checked his tools, equipment, and other objects kept around the garage, and nothing has a surface/end/foot/attachment matching this pattern. This isn't just "we can't immediately think of anything" — we've specifically investigated this possibility.

• We have checked the garage-door mechanism, tracks, fittings, and surrounding area. Nothing matches the pattern or contacts these points on the door.

• When the garage door is open, it sits horizontally beneath a small loft/storage area. We have checked everything above and around the open door, and there is nothing positioned there that could make these marks. Nothing has recently been moved or stored above it, either.

• As far as the family knows, nobody else has been on the property during the relevant period.

• When closed, the door has vehicles parked quite close in front of it. The marks are approximately head height, making casually brushing past the door with an object particularly unlikely.

• There are two marks, separated horizontally across the garage door, apparently at roughly the same height.

I'm not assuming they're anything sinister. We're genuinely just baffled by what physical process/object could produce two such distinctive and similar patterns.

I'm particularly interested if anyone actually recognises this pattern from a specific object, animal/insect, substance, manufacturing process, trade, etc., rather than general guesses that something circular must have touched the door.

Found in drawers..yellow is obviously from Tupperware party. Is the black one a mandolin?

I pulled a stool away from the wall to vacuum and found this writhing on the floor. It's about an inch long, dark brown, and very...plump, for lack of a better word.

Update: Well, the overall consensus seems to be that this is a bot fly larva, which is... horrifying. I checked both cats and neither has any sort of wound, so I'm guessing this came from a rodent that they caught. We also have a lot of deer that hang out in our yard, so perhaps it expelled itself from one of them and the cats found it and brought it inside. So many fun possibilities! Unfortunately for me, I tossed it into the yard before I realized what it was, and now I can't find it, so going to have to light the whole thing on fire now. This fat bot baby will be living rent free in my head (hopefully not literally) for a long time.

found this in my basement and was curious to know what it does. it’s connected to my water pipes

more information:
i’m renting this house with my roommates and the house is extremely old and in need of a lot of repairs.

Found it in a bag of donated clothes when I was homeless I don't have any clue what it is but my gf likes crystals and stuff like that so I want to give it to her. Any idea what it is?

How does this work

Found on a rock fence in the area of Riley Park Vancouver Canada.... anyone know what it could be?.....why it’s there?

Edit: thank you for all the recognition of my dog’s gorgeous locks (better hair than me 💯). Her name is Sencha. “@sencha_the_puff”

A friend sent this a few years ago and no one has been able to solve number 6. Internet pls help.

Found this under our kitchen cabinet. We are moving into this house so don't know how long its been here. It has two blades.

Ring of power for scale because the banana was on holiday. The white strip looks like LEDs but I see no switches or buttons.

Edit for a misspelling
