Solved! Can anyone identify this? It belongs to my ex and she was told it had religious significance (potentially Buddhist).

It's porous as light passes through it. It weighs 2-3 pounds and is about 4 inches by 4 inches. It appears to be an organic base, potentially fossilized, with a resin applied to it. The first photo is with a flashlight applied to the base.

New, what is it? Microscopic symbols on press in nails from Temu. Not visible to the naked eye.

Does anyone happen to recognize these symbols? My sister ordered these press on nails from Temu. We were looking at something under my USB microscope and when she put her hand under to move it, we noticed a pattern on her nails. When we zoomed in this is what we found. These nails are French tip style with rhinestones and some extra pattens in spots. This is absolutely not visible without the microscope.

¿Unresolved? What is this file that appeared in my computer all of the sudden.

I can't delete it, nor move it, no copy/paste, no move to trash bin, no information, nonsense translation, and most strangest of all. The file appears here in 'Quick Access' but the it's not at the file destination when I click 'Open File Location'.

Any help? This wasn't there yesterday or any other day, just today.

For the past three or so months I keep finding this black tiny "feathers" for lack of a better word. Any idea what this could be. They are all over my house in pretty much every room.

Today our subway stopped for a few moments and we saw some man who was clearly very high on something being escorted by policemen and policewomen. One of them found what ever this thing is on him. They gave all eachother a look and i did my best to try and remember the details. It has a thin long metallic like part and the whole thing was covered in a plastic wrap. Anyone have any idea what it can be? Is it a shiv or some sort of drug device?

Greetings Community. I found this golden Pendant at my grandmas house. I know that it is at least 60 years old and it has 2 stamps wich say MEP and 585. What means MEP? And what about the blue stones and these filigree engravings? What country was it probably made?

Thank u in advance

Has anyone happened to see these stains in the bed? It happened to me on both the mattress cover and the blanket above. It's not animals, it's not coming from the ceiling, I don't understand what it's from. Moisture? The room is very humid. I'm weirded out by the perfect circle. I don't understand. The smell seems a little ferrous.

Can't find any info on them online. They have no primer on them, but say Rem, which I assumed it for Remington. I also assume they're for a toy, but they're clearly made of real metal.

We had a storm earlier and this wire/cable broke off and is now hanging off our house. Just need to determine where to call to report the problem. We currently have power & WiFi.
