Opened a seemingly abandoned cooler on a bike ride with my son. What is this inside?

Found next to recently poured concrete and a large pile of soil near a river. I assume the liquid was ice at one time and the thermometer is reading slightly above ambient around 7:00 pm.

What is this?

Does anyone know wth this is? I found it a few hours ago, is it drugs?

It’s a bag of 20kg

So i was sending a package in a pickup locker, when my assigned locker opened there was somehow a package in it, i tried to get a different locker but they were all full, so i decided to just take the package out, take it home, and contact the delivery company. But there was a crack in the package and i saw these crystals and couldn’t help but open it and then i found this.

The bag doesn’t say anything but instructions on how to open it, the plastic bag was inside a box, and that box was inside another box.

If it was something chemical you would expect it would show it on the bag, which it doesn’t, the bag is just some regular vacuum bag, which makes me question what it is

I was very inebriated yesterday and found this caterpillar, I was so fascinated by its hair that I pet it (Illinois)

The caterpillar was fine and walked up a tree afterwards (I only looked at him for 2 minutes) but how screwed am I? My finger got a black hair in it and I removed all that I could see of it but man, man oh man am I an idiot. A reverse image search told me that it’s a caterpillar of a Dagger Moth? Well at the time I just saw a fuzzy little worm that was too cute not to pet. Sobered up and my finger still hurts. Am I going to die? Is the caterpillar gonna be fine? Does the caterpillar hate me now?

In 1987, people in Brazil found a mysterious powder that glowed blue in the dark. They thought it was beautiful, passed pieces of it around to friends and family, and some even rubbed it on their skin. It was cesium-137.

I’ve been eating cereal from this container for 3 years and never ran out since I keep refilling it with whatever other cereal I buy next.

When your younger cousin, who's staying with you on vacation, forgets her gadget from under the mattress in the guest room. Or rather, what's left of it...

What is this? It was on my great grandmas grave.

Edit: for everyone curious what the liquid is, apparently it's olive oil. I didn't open it, my uncle actually took that one for the team. I thought it was my aunt because she sent me the pictures. I still don't have an exact answer. And YES, I know it's insane he just straight up opened it and then went the extra mile of putting it on his HANDS.

Context: no one in my family does witchcraft or anything even CLOSE to it. But there is some strangeness that surrounds my family's history on my mom's side. Like rumours and stuff, but my great grandma died in 2003 like a month before I was born so we don't have a clue who would even put this there. There's like two jars and a mushroom. My aunt went to visit her grave and found them there with a mushroom on top of the stone.

Noticed lid on my grill was back on after I left it off last night, weird assortment inside

Kinda freaked me out, someone walking around my backyard at night. Not sure what any of this means

What is this jelly layer in my vingar lime solution?

We make our own cleaning solution by soaking used lime peels in a vinegar/water solution. Those are the only 3 ingredients in the jar. Been doing this for years, this recent jar formed a weird jelly layer at the top.

It’s not really slimy and doesn’t break unless I cut it. Smells like limes. Intrigued!

Edit

For people asking why did I touch it:

It was in the kitchen sink hole this morning and I picked it up because I thought it was a soggy pita bread or something. Asked my mom wtf it was and she said she left it in the sink for me because she had no clue, she just noticed it in the lime jar this morning.

I told her I was pretty sure it was some sort of yeast and then posted here to confirm.

I cut it in half. Put one half in a jar with water sugar and black tea and, the other half in a jar with water sugar back tea and some bread yeast. Gonna see what happens over the next few weeks (to experiment not to consume dw).

Thanks y’all.

Edit 2

I also use baking soda and vinegar to wash my hair. Stay mad <3

What is in this cup left in my front yard?

Found this sitting in my front yard. Whatever is inside is in a plastic bag. I did not open, touch or smell it.

Final edit: it is definitely old berries, I had a lot of friends with children over a week or so ago and one of them more than likely left their Starbucks and leftover snack behind.

I know it looks like poop, it didn’t when I picked it up, but for the future ya’ll, heard, I’ll think twice so I don’t get some crazy random disease.
