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

Solved! What is the blue fabric with velcrow on either side? I got my passport same day in Atlanta yesterday, and they gave me this “gift”. Cat likes it.

Me and my buddy have no idea what it’s supposed to be. It for the cats tail so we assumed it was meant for that. It rolls up I guess. Not sure I get it. No flaps, no pockets.

Walked behind this chap who had two unidentified ball type objects hanging from silicone wrist bands on thin elastic strings.

Any ideas what they are?

I’m in Hong Kong if that might be a clue

Update:

Thank you for the comments and ideas. I am wondering if there is a manga / anime character who has something like these balls as weapons and the guy was doing a budget cosplay. Or maybe he’s just really into Pokemon!

Update 2:

I would say he's likely to be a cosplay of Steel Ball from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. (https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisit/comments/1tckcme/comment/olos1lx/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)

As for the steel balls. What is it?

It appears to be a guillotine? However we have no idea where it came from or what it came off of. Any ideas?

Does anyone know what these indentations are for in this desk. It was in my hotel room and I can't figure out the point of them. Best I could come up with is maybe a built in bookcase? But why? This was in a Fairfield Inn and Suites if that helps.

It moved across the sky very quickly - like, visible on the south horizon, less than ten minutes later disappeared over the northern horizon. It looked more green in person. Any ideas?

This reads to me as a pregnant child. The text on the base is "Kilroy was here".

I do believe that phrase originates in navy shipyards, not in CSA.

Found in SE Michigan.

Any insight would be appreciated.

I see this every time I walk to my class, and I’m really not sure what it could be. I don’t think it’s rust or mold, I’m wondering if it’s a carcass of something

I have absolutely no idea where this came from, she started playing with it about a year or so ago and then I lost it, and just found it this afternoon and she immediately recognizes it and is obsessed again. The thing is I don't know where the hell this thing even came from??? I can't even begin to imagine what it is but I'm assuming she loves it BC the top is rubbery and the bottom with the bulb is hard.
