It's hard to the touch and a bit hard to scrap, and when you do it flakes come out of it. The most dense pieces (like the ones on the fourth picture, the most compact ones) are pretty hard to scrape. There was an empty plastic yogurt cup on top of the table during the night, but when I picked it up in the morning there was nothing there, no weird crystals. I came back at noon and found this O.O Except for the yogurt, we haven't had lunch or eaten on it for at least a week. No water has fallen on it, no liquids have been spilled recently, nothing like that.

The drawers behind it have wooden instruments that have been unaffected, but the drawer's wood itself does have this weird stuff (third and fourth pictures).

Now... What the hell is it?? It's hard to completely remove it from the wood, but it sort of comes off when scraped with vinegar. I put a piece of it in water and it dissolved slowly. The only thing I can think about that makes last night different from the rest is we turned on the heater for a bit, but it's not like the table was exposed to extreme heat either.

Anyone has a good guess on to what this might be?

Sorry to sound like an uncultured swine but I be seeing this character a lot what’s it called thanks

Remove if not allowed thanks

This was days ago, when i had just rented an aparment that someone had just moved out of.

I’ve been purposefully avoiding this part of the page because I cannot figure out what these balls are meant to be, I assumed berries but what kind?? I’m so lost!!

Edit: More specification, this is a pie, that’s definitely established! This is also a british colouring book (hence my strange spelling, lol). Blueberries and blackberries have already been done since I can tell what they are, if that’s any help?? To the people saying I can colour it however I like, you’re totally right but I’m a perfectionist so I prefer realism.

Edit2: I promise strawberries look like that when cut.

Final edit: Didn’t realise this would create so much controversy and some of you are kinda mean! But I’m pretty confident with the suggestion that these are probably blackcurrants, thanks all for the help!

We caught my uncle sneakingly throwing this to the rubbish bin. He doesn’t have the best track record so we are all a bit paranoid when he does anything “weird”.

The object is like a glass tube with some liquid inside, inserted into a rubber “pipe”. It smells weird but nothing I can identify. I would appreciate any hints.

Edit: the material is actually plastic, not glass. It has a spring inside (no idea what for). The root-looking thing was wrapping the object when I cut the rubber. Could be dirt or some glue or something

Edit2: this sub is god. A user found the answer https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisit/s/Oqtxk6YWVZ

Felt something in my ear, thought it was just a clump of wax. Looked in my hand and this was what came out. Thinking it’s a tube from when I was a kid but that seems kinda crazy. P.S. my hands are filthy.

Kid just crawled up to us holding it. Sticky yellow gunk has no scent, can’t figure out what it came off of. Jokes are welcome, but I’d really like to know wtf this is.

Solved! It’s from kewpie mayo!
Y’all are hilarious though and I’m trying to laugh quietly as the plastic craving gremlin is asleep(finally)

It’s not actually a pube it’s dog hair, they shed a lot 😭😂

Found this today in a box of toys. Appears to be silicone.

At first I thought someone was trying to hit my camera with a stick, but then I realized that it’s it looked more like a saliva like substance dripping in front of it, and since there was a bunch of “steam” I’m assuming it was warm in nature. But I’m dumbfounded, it’s also worth noting that in the next video/photo the camera took afterwards and that the camera is 20ish ft up a tree, everything looked fine. My first assumption was maybe something related to spiders or something, but I’m not sure.

Edit - it’s bird shit

I travel around Orange, Sullivan, Dutchess, and Ulster County in NY for work and once in a while a come across these sunken shed looking structures.

What is it? And why is it sunken?

So, my sister and her husband have been married for 5 years and have 2 kids together. They’re both very christian and very much “traditional”. He pays the bills and she works at the church and watches their children. She found this in his pocket while doing laundry and now she’s paranoid that he’s cheating on her. Does ANYONE know what this could be from? Her mind went to viagra, i think it could be batteries?? It’s not sticky, it’s like the texture of thin cardboard

This onesie belonged to my husband when he was a baby (circa 1993/4), and we are stumped as to what the blue, blobby thing is. I thought maybe a bird, he thinks it’s a hand making a gesture. Clearly the theme here is lucky symbols, but anyone have any guesses?!

Found this mounted on each open doorway in my Airbnb what is it?

I found on the bathroom floor. Doesn’t match condom wrappers my husband and I use and I cannot find a match online. Please help! Black with silver detailing on front. Back is silver with black writing. You can clearly see the words “prevent pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, and other.” Also a number 2 with a circle and cross through it.

Sink wasn't draining so I snaked it and pulled this thing out. I just want to know that this thing won't come back to life and kill me in my sleep.

Found in a pill bottle but I don’t think it’s a pill. Around the size of a grain of rice, when I asked him about he would only tell me he ‘just found it’ and refused to elaborate on what it was. Reddit help!

eta: He admitted it was a microchip from a cat. Will not tell me why he has it, refuses to explain WHERE he found it. I’m thinking about taking it to a veterinary clinic and having them scan it to see the owner’s information. Pretty unnerved by this whole situation and I will be having a long talk with him.

eta2: Prompted by hundreds of comments, I took it to a local vet ASAP and confirmed it is a registered microchip, I am attempting to contact the owners and waiting on a response. I will find out why the absolute hell he has this. I will try to update when I hear back, I am NOT taking this lightly.

eta3: https://www.reddit.com/u/berkmangoesbooom/s/P1bEQbNF7A Final update for now.

Woke up to find this white stuff on my lighting cable

Title + the seat doesn’t match… so why the grooves? Sorry if this belongs in r/whyisit

Edit: a few answers suggest it’s to collect samples at a doctors office. This is photographed at a Popeyes in the southern US

From the umbrella he’s carrying for today’s press questions.
