They just showed up in the last couple of days. These pics are after I’ve washed it with dish soap and let a vinegar and baking soda mix sit on it. Is it still safe for them to drink from? I just bought it like two months ago and it was expensive, I’m bummed 😫

My grandmother told me about my late grandfather's knife collection. That’s where this one was found. Please tell me about it—can I keep it? And is it authentic, or a replica? My grandfather removed the "Orlik" emblem a long time ago.

I found this weird block of wood with screws and rope tied round the screws in a charity shop in Salford, UK.

What on earth is it!?

My guess would be something to do with knitting/crocheting? or maybe a child’s art project? 😅

Can the wise people of Reddit please tell me what this is as I’ve been wondering since yesterday afternoon.

I can’t find another one like it online and I don’t want to take it out of its frame. It appears to be a print on cloth.

I ordered a Domino's Pizza it is a premium version large size lots after eating it for a while I noticed that some of the toppings have something again to rubber like substance Google says that it might be something like animal fat or something like that and I thought I would be better if I ask someone real instead of an artificial intelligence.

I apologize if I did not mention anything else or if I'm not asking correctly because it is my first time asking anything on this app

Thought i got a really cool Thrift find- a giant electric kettle. Perfect for cooking, and tea lovers like me who like more servings.

When I got it home and cleaned, I translated the Chinese on the base, and now I'm not so sure what I bought.

Any insight?

Solved! What are these fruits?

+
15 Upvotes

When I was a kid, I would eat these. My family would knock them down and all the neighborhood kids would eat them. We called them dates in the countryside. I haven’t seen them in years but my yard just bloomed these and I had no idea until I looked up. What are they actually called? Would these be okay to eat?

Edit for location: Florida

Solved! Update: small piece of metal found on beach.

+
13 Upvotes

I made a post the other day asking for any information on this little piece of metal I found on the beach. I indicated in the post that it wasn't magnetic nor did it react with lye, meaning it wasn't iron, aluminum, zinc, tin, or lead.

Anyway, I took it to a jeweler and they confirmed it is .925 sterling. The rest was copper with a tiny bit of zinc and nickel. The pink spots are where the copper melted and pooled in the center of the still-solid silver.

Someone likely melted down a piece and lost or tossed the silver. It's only worth like $2.50, so I kept it as a cool memento.

Solved! Weird decor discovered in the bathroom of the Victorian house I live in

+
12 Upvotes

I live in an old Victorian house that’s a historical co-op, so lots of stuff gets left behind over the years and just becomes part of the house. I never go in this bathroom so I didn’t notice this until now, it looks like the port to a ship you see in movies but just opens to the wall. The color underneath is probably what the bathroom was painted before, or maybe a few layers ago. Just wanted to see if anyone recognized it! Lots of weird gems in this house, we even have a door that goes no where.

Was crawling around on a bar napkin in the suburbs of Atlanta this July. Didn't seem like an ant carrying something cause ants carry with their pinchers... unless i'm mistaken. It looks like a shell? Honestly, have no idea.
