i found these crystals at an abandoned water treatment station in a lab. they were in a transparent liquid, it was more viscous than water, like, oil type viscosity. the crystals are also quite fragile. and the flask it was in didnt say what it was. pls tell me what it might be!
also dont mind my dirty hands...
Wife and I just pulled this from our shower drain. Water has been draining slowly over the last couple of weeks and so we got a snake in there but nothing was coming up. We ended up duct taping two together and ended up pulling up this monstrosity which was not fitting through the drain opening. It crumbled with some needle noses but now wondering what else is down there. Unfortunately did not change much with the drain speed so my fear is that it is worse and we just can't reach down far enough.
House is from the 60s and pipes are cast iron
Vor einem Rapsfeld auf dem Gehweg gefunden, hab ihn dann auf ein verwildertes Grundstück mit Bäumen gesetzt. Hab auch bei ChatGPT mal nachgeschaut, was es ist. Wisst ihr es, schon mal gesehen? War in jedem Fall sehr eindrucksvoll 😊
Idk anything about its species but he looked interesting, does anyone know if he is a spider or anything else?
We just had found a humpback whale mother with her very young calf. The dorsal fin was still folded of the litte one. She was playing and dancing around her mother when we saw something different and white floating at the surface. When we approached I was certain that we just found something incredible...leftovers from this baby's lunch!
As whales are mammals they nurse their baby's like all other mammals do! With the mother giving milk so their offspring grows fast and strong.
Whale milk contains up to 50% fat and 15% protein. So with a baby drinking more than 150 liters per day they can grow up to 45 kilos per day and develop a thick blubber insulation, which they need for their long migration up north.
I am really interested to know what is this weird butterfly it’s so cute
Those are the only photos i got, it flew away a few seconds after
It was found in Canada, QC if that helps
Anyone have any idea what this is? I was in the shower last night and I felt something on the back of my neck and it was this chip looking thing.
It’s about the size of a few grains of rice, the bow tie shaped thing looks metallic and the outer layer is clear plastic.
I’m so weirded out by it and some strange things have been happening to me recently so I’m more paranoid than usual. Please help
I didn't really think we were in long grass but if it's a tick I need to check my dog as well. For clarification, since it was already crawling on me I took a video to make sure it was clearly visible and then I immediately got it off of me. But I can't tell if it's a tick because I'm having a hard time identifying whether the pattern is the same as the photos I was looking at.
My daughter has a 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid, and recently the doors started sticking when opening. We found sticky red goo on the bottom door weatherstripping/gaskets.
Looking further, the substance seems to cover much of the underside of the car on both sides, especially around the rocker panels / under-door area. It is only on the bottom/undercarriage area - nothing on the exterior side panels.
I scraped some off and it’s a red, viscous, sticky goo, kind of like dried jelly or jam. It looks like it may have been more liquid when it first got on the car, because there are drip/run patterns. I included a picture of some of it on white paper.
Odd detail: it’s water soluble. If I put a little on my fingers, it dissolves pretty easily under the faucet while rubbing my fingers together. I briefly tasted a tiny bit - probably dumb, I know -and it didn’t have any strong or obvious taste, though it left that spot on my tongue feeling slightly odd (maybe that's psychological).
Other notes:
Has anyone seen anything like this? Do car washes use any red/pink undercarriage chemicals that could dry into sticky goo?
Also looking for advice on removal. I cleaned the door gaskets with a rag and warm water, but the underside probably needs a hot-water pressure wash. Since it’s water soluble, I’m wondering whether it might slowly rinse off from driving in rain, but I’d rather get it off properly.
Edit: I emailed the car wash, and they responded: "Our undercarriage wash just sprays water underneath the car, we don't have any chemicals that spray under the car."
I was on a shed tidy up and came across this thing any ideas?
My friend was helping his Mom move out and found this while clearing out her closet.
He asked her and she says she found it on a beach when she was younger - it looks like a rock but its weight and texture feels off. Any thoughts?
Tried posting in the “what is this” subs but was removed.
I found this on my living room floor near the door. Just me and a dog in the house, not sure if it came from inside of her or from somewhere else. Showed it to her vet and the vet said it doesn’t look like something that came from my dog, like a blood clot for example. It’s squishy but with very little give/firm. Could it be some kind of animal organ? Has anyone seen something like this
I got a new jacket and found this in one of the pockets. It is made of plastic and on one side says "this side towards scalp". Any ideas?
I’m cleaning out my mother’s house and I found this in a bedroom drawer. I want to know what it is, but also I kind of don’t.
