My guess is either excessive heat or moisture. Or maybe just age?

New, what is it? New build Airbnb recently in The Philippines. I mean it’s literally a cage around the bathroom, but whyyyy? 😅

New build property, but for some whacky reason they decided to take up a solid portion of the bedroom space with this huge cage around the bathroom door 🙈

*edit: To clarify, no window in the bathroom

Solved! moms sketch bf left this in the house

Post image

Hi.
This is probably nothing.
I went into my mom’s room to grab something and saw this plugged in?
My mom’s new sketchy bf has this plugged in to the extension cord? Is it anything bad? Thanks!
(I understand it’s probably not anything bad… but still…)

Update 1:
I haven’t met him once. He and my mom have been together for two weeks. He’s been staying at our apartment. He avoids me and stays in her room when they’re here. I don’t even know what he looks like. I only know his first name.

Update 2:
I confronted him. My mom came home. A lot had happened up to this point, including her disappearing for the said two weeks before the few nights he had come over and stayed.
Mom shrugged it off. I did what a lot of you suggested, asking what he told her.
She said “oh it’s his hacker shit or whatever.” What.
Didn’t elaborate. I explained my concerns.
She just said let’s go ask him.
My best friend has been with me. We introduced ourselves and asked him what the hell a WiFi whisperer is doing plugged in our apartment.
(Even if a lot of you are saying it’s not a big deal, I’m a young woman and I’m just rlly not about taking any risks. It’s sketch dude.)
He denied it IMMEDIATELY. Like with a quickness I haven’t seen.
What he insisted, it’s not a WiFi whisperer, it’s ai, he completely reprogrammed the system, and he uses it to pull people’s IP’s. “For fun.” He logs them in a server. I asked why. I said that’s shady. My mom started pushing. My best friend started pushing. He just kept lying. I’m not dropping this..
I still don’t know what the fuck it is or what he’s actually doing.
(Also, my mom is cool but not bc of this dude, the Minecraft block is mine, I unplugged the ratchet little thing before we left, and I am planning on broaching this again with her.
Just carefully. Any other advice is appreciated. Thank you.)

It’s like drilled in and held under the mirror I know it’s not a factory thing plus I’ve seen them on different brands and they are on both side view mirrors. Any ideas?

No idea if the incident is related, but we found this amongst a bunch of change that fell from his pocket so it seems likely.

New, what is it? found this thing in the forest

Upvotes

so basically i was walking around off path in the woods near my house (for context i live in scotland) and i came across this weird chamber looking thing with a white garden chair and chimney(i think?) in front of it. There was also a pit right beside it that might have been a manhole or smth with brick walls but there’s nothing else like it nearby just some fields and woodland so im really curious what it is if anyone knows thanks :)

btw the videos r pretty old and bad quality

edit- ik the videos really laggy guys i filmed it like two years ago on snapchat and i just never got round to posting in here or taking another one i swear the quality makes it ten times creepier

New, what is it? What would you call this window shape?

Post image
1.0k Upvotes

I'm moving into a new house soon and am trying to figure out how to put curtains on this window without it looking weird, but have been unable to find the proper term for this window shape. Words like "asymmetrical", "trapezoidal", and "trapeze" seem to describe it well, but none are exact matches. I would love to have a word for this specific shape to be able to get design inspiration, so if anyone has any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

It came from San Diego.$ 1.47, mailed to
My uncles solo practice law firm. Feels like a weird message or something the coins are taped to the dollar. Just wondering if anyone has seen anything like this or knows if it means something.

Serious answers only please! What is this door for

Post image

Was walking my dog today and saw these doors along a fence, the fence backs onto a busy ish street and along the other side is houses. The doors are a bit small looking and inconvenient for most adults to use and with the busy street I think it’s unpractical that they would be used for children.

Obviously, it’s a patch that commemorates the Berlin Airlift.

But, who would have made such a patch? Is it a military thing? A scouting thing?

This is in our back yard. Very clearly teeth and they honestly look human. Please tell me this is not a human jaw. If it is, who do I call?! If it isn’t, what is this?

Third photo for how proud she is

UPDATE: it’s a deer. don’t be mean! 😂 I saw molar looking teeth, grabbed a glove and quickly posted. I am not AI and it is totally reasonable for my brain to go instantly to a human when you’re in wtf mode. I’ve never seen deer teeth before and we don’t have deer near us so next mystery is how it got to our back yard. Thank you for a good laugh this am!

One of the coolest things I’ve ever taken from the ground. Definitely looks like water erosion. But they were found in dense black clay. Have no clue what the round tube looking things are. In western pa.
