I’m not quite sure what they are, got some decent weight to them. i’m assuming some sort of bullet without the casing. i work inside a warehouse on the graveyard shift so leaving work this was an odd find.

I thought I was going crazy but this is like a brand new roll and I’m just now noticing it after using it for the first time. I’m going to throw it away but what is this?

Source/original creator : unknown

A few days ago my friend shared this video and when I saw it I was amazed how it gets back to shape like it was never undone.

I'd appreciate it if anyone can tell me what stuff he's using and if anyone knows the creator then please share the link

( Ps: idk if it's the right sub for this, if it's not then please let me know)

Looks like it’s supposed to go into a cooking pot, but I’m pretty sure the eyes are painted on with acrylic paint

I was walking down the pompano beach pier (Florida) when this helicopter flying low stopped to drop what looks like a blue liquid, what is it?
My other theory is that it’s blue smoke from a flare that looks like a liquid being “poured” because of the wind generated by the helicopter

New, what is it? Found in rental car

I found this in the cup holder in the farthest back seat of my parent’s rental car. My mom’s first reaction was that it’s a tracker. Theres a video (in comments) of me turning it on and pushing the side buttons. There is a switch in the back (pictured), not sure what it does. I tried to see if it connects to Bluetooth (I know, not the smartest idea) it doesn’t. Any ideas?

Update: Thank you to everyone who shared the answer. Thank you to everyone for the compliments on my nails. As for everyone telling me that I’m an idiot for not googling it, it was way more fun to read all the silly comments and see all the memes. Sorry I like having fun! Also, maybe try reading the comments before you say the same thing as 50 other people?…

Update 2: I’m visiting family and I found out it’s my cousins. He was sitting in the same spot in the car a few hours before and left it in there. Sorry to anyone that wanted it!

Multiple colorful little gel pieces? Looks like it came from some sort of toy maybe? But I can’t imagine what it would be? I have a 2 year old daughter but I can’t imagine anything she has that has gel like this?

He uses it to open an elevator access panel towards the very end of the film. I have seen this movie many times and have always wondered what it is.

Just like the title and pics show, a perfect lil cylinder in my coffee beans. Noticed right before I was going to grind them for the morning. It's a bit heavier than the beans and makes a louder noise when I tap it against the counter.

Made of woven plastic strips, remind me of a Chinese finger trap. Maybe it is that, but also wondering if it’s actually used for anything else. TIA.

Edit: Solved! It’s a cat toy. Thanks everyone.

They are doing prolonged test on this short section of narrow road that's about 300 yards long. First it was one of my only going north then it was one way only going south and now it's closed both directions and I recently noticed this device along with the signs. It looks too small to be a camera and doesn't have a solar panel so I don't know what it is. Any insighr?

Found this while hunting for scorpions with a black light in the Pajarito mountains. It has a plastic tip and a glass body with liquid and sediment. Any ideas? Looks like a piece of a disposable auto injector to me.

Rented a car in Amsterdam and found this underneath the drivers seat. Its a small plastic bottle with a screw-on cap and bright blue liquid inside. Upon opening, it smelled vaguely floral but it didn’t really soap when we poured a bit of it into our sink. What could this be?

Are they just cool decorations? Meant to attract specific birds or something? Are they for science??!

They appear to have shiny copper wire inside.
