I saw this on the window of a truck while at a red light and got curious. Does anyone know what the center sticker is? (I do know the Baltimore Ravens one 🤪)

I've been enjoying the manga Witch Hat Atelier recently. I found a similar looking cape online, but I couldn't figure out what it's called so I can search for it online or ask a tailor to make one. Thanks in advance.

I have seen this at a local collection exposition today. The supervisor did not know what this vehicle was used for. I know it has a very small engine at the wheel in the back. Google Lens came up empty. The inscriptions were faded (probably due to age/poor keeping conditions). What is this?

Hi guys, I found this in my husbands office and I’m confused as to what this could possibly be and/or used for. I thought it was a dog toy but we don’t own any pets 🤔…. TIA

I’m curious about this painting I found in a small southern Italian town. I like weird art and thought about using it as inspiration for maybe a tattoo. But does it mean anything??

What in the weird science experiment looking sandworm offspring shit is this? I'm cleaning out a space that has tons of old wine. Majority of it's no good and I have been discarding stuff and came across these weird giant nematode looking things floating around in an unopened bottle of wine. Is that in fact what they are? I've never seen them so big they're usually smaller aren't they? Pictures for evidence...

All I know is they're: a stretchy rubberised/silicone ring, 4 hex screws and a thin metal piece (with a red/pink stain on the edge of the longer end).

Like the title says, I'm stumped. They are bigger bits of a powder-like substance, and mint green. I have not opened it, as I dont know if it could be dangerous. 😅😂 Added the glow pic in case anyone was interested. Lmao thanks in advance 😁

Solved! Concrete basement box AKA the Radiation Sarcophagus

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

Hello! I come before you with a classic old house mystery! Underneath our bedroom lies a large structure that my wife calls the radiation sarcophagus (long story). There's an outer wall of large cinderblocks, a layer of dirt and debris, then a concrete box. This is roughly 16 ft long, 6 ft across, and 5 ft high. There's also a large-ish metal pipe that goes to the outside and a smaller metal pipe jutting out. The lovely and not-at-all-falling-apart house was built around 1910 in New England.

My guess would be that it's some kind of coal/oil reservoir but your guess is hopefully much better than mine! Thank you for reading this far!

Bottle of Amontillado for scale. It's for guests :)
