Organs Hanging From Branch
Hello everyone, this is about an experience I had last December. I was driving with my sister on our road in rural Maine. I spotted this weird bag hanging from a bush on the side of the road and decided to pull over and check it out. It looked to be cuttings from a butchered animal? It was not near any houses but just right on the side of the road. I posted about it online and everyone said it was very abnormal, and one person suggested calling the game warden, so that's what I did. Only issue is that he never came, even after saying he would be there the same day. The weirdest part is that it's still here over 6 months later, completely untouched by any wildlife. The only change is that it has since turned black probably from rot or mold.

Ticking from engine bay (P3 T5)
Hello, I've got a 2013 S60 T5 AWD with 193k miles. It started making this awful ticking noise when starting up and randomly sometimes. It burns oil super bad but I try to keep it filled, any ideas?

Alternatives to Milk Paint
Hello everyone, I'm looking to start painting the handles on some of my spoons. I'm looking for the same matte look that you get with milk paint, but without the milk. I've looked into linseed oil paints but I can't find out if anyone has tried them on spoons before. I'd love some suggestions!

Crunchy Engine Sounds
This is my 2013 Volvo S60 T5 with 193k miles. I noticed about a week ago that it makes this weird sort of crunchy sound from around 1500rpm. I know it's most likely pretty bad, maybe even new engine bad. Feel free to ask for more info. Thanks!

Telegram blackmail
Hello everyone, I'm 17m and found myself talking with someone on twitter and then on telegram. I know it's all so stupid of me and I feel like a total failure. They have a picture of my face and my penis and somehow got my full name and phone number. I'm usually not the type to fall for this but I wasn't thinking. They said that they're going to post my face, name, and pictures, and say I sent rape threats to them unless I pay them $200. I feel like I'm going to throw up I'm so scared. I blocked them but I don't have any screenshots before they deleted their chats. Any help is appreciated I'm so fucking scared.

Mediocre Trebuchet (turn up volume)
Wooden trebuchet with flaming projectile. It only shot about 30ft this time but I've gotten it up to 50. Made from dimensional lumber and green wood that I joined using some pretty interesting methods.

Worst day of school
Hello everyone, for context I'm a 17m highschool junior. 2 days ago I found out my favorite teacher was leaving. I've never had something like this affect me as much as this. I spent the day ugly crying at school, and I haven't felt good since. It's hard to explain why I like her so much, she's basically the sweetest and funniest person ever. I really and truly admire her. There's only 2 months left in school, 41 school days until she's gone. I'm already starting on a letter to give her on the last day of school but it doesn't feel like enough. I really want to keep in contact with her because of how much joy she gives me every time I see her. I'm not sure how I'll get through this, any advice appreciated.

I carved this cherry eating spoon for a friend. I'm super happy with how it came out. Knife finished, burnished, and coated with raw linseed oil.
