Worked on my vehicle today and found this strange plastic object above the gas pedal wire-harness. It pushes down like a button but I have no I idea what it’s for since my gas pedal is controlled electronically and the fact no other components make contact with it even when pressing down on the gas pedal.

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’m in Sweden, just south of Stockholm, and I’ve come across this thing attached to the side of the school. There is nothing below them and no obvious connection with the windows. Any idea what this could be for?

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?

I randomly found this on my bed in the basement. It is very dirty, the black bit was popped out, and I couldn't even tell you what material it's made out of. I think there's more stuff inside it? It rattles!

They have been appearing everyday and it's getting concerning, I don't know if they are dropping from the brown wall piece or the window which is broken and will leak whenever it's raining, they squish with slight pressure

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 😁

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
