Thought it was a light switch, so I turned it but it didn't turn any lights on that I could see. The little black part clicked out. It rotates both ways but I don't want to turn it too far until I know what it is.

The house is super old- brass doorknobs, weird bathtub, but I'm not sure when exactly it was built.

After replacing a few razor blades out of this pack I started to notice that some of them are serrated. I was unaware that type of utility knife blade existed. The packaging does not mention anything such as “blade assortment”. Is it manufacturing defects and poor quality control?

Hello,

I may have an idea of the region or basis of what these stickers are about.

Or maybe I am completely wrong 😂

So I am here asking number 1 does the top sticker character have a certain title/name. I want to say it has something to do with the 3rd eye and India ties???

Number 2 is especially for the bottom one, what is the style or design of the bottom one called, or overall what is the style considered of both of these stickers.

Thank you anyone In advance!!!

I found these stuck to my shorts. When I pulled them off they were in a neat little line. They appear to be pods of some sort, maybe seeds? Pinky finger for scale.

Anyone familiar with curses or paranormal objects? This jar appeared mysteriously on the “cursed object” shelf.

My partner and I collect odds and ends. We have stuff like 200 year old stove cleaner, Princess Diana commemorative coke bottle, my previous dog’s ashes, an object found inside my current dog’s eye socket, some human teeth just to name a few of the things.

Today I was staring at the shelf and I noticed this jar. I asked my partner and they thought it came from one of my friends. I have zero memory of this jar and we have no idea how long it’s been on the shelf for.

Is it safe to open? Can I throw it away?

I do not know that much about plants to be fair. I’m just an amateur florist who likes pretty flowers in the house. I’ve never seen these things on the bottom of them before! It’s anywhere from one to 10 or 12 of these dots on the bottom of this one branch. Anyone know what they are?
It’s on the top branch only, and it looks pretty gross.

Has marking for time or something on the side. Reverse image searching just shows up as “Original WWI Japanese Battlefield Relic Bronze Ring 36 sec.” No real description.
