  • “We are participating in a research study on impact of non-nutritive sweeteners in pregnancy & lactation! We are in the group that has restricted intake throughout both!” © sillybunny22 / Reddit

5. What is this fish?

“I’m going through my grandmother’s old jewelry, and I’m not sure what this is. It’s a fish that hinges open and closed, with a dangling chain on the other end. He has jeweled eyes and small pearls that are not uniform in side or color.
It’s not a brooch, there’s no pin. It’s not a pendant, there’s no where to put a chain. Any ideas?”

  • “Could it possibly be an old gloves holder to put on a purse?” © ThrowAwayIGotHack3d / Reddit
  • “It could be an old clip used to hold dress up out of the dirt. You could wear it as a bracelet, then attach the clip to the bottom of the dress to lift it. Just a guess. There is a plethora of things it could be used for. I would bring it to a jeweler well versed in antiques.” © Kagome12987 / Reddit

6. Land’s End bag found at thrift store. There’s a hole in the side about 3 inches across. There’s a plastic sleeve/pocket on inside. What is it for?

7. Growing corn in my garden and thought my corn was growing rocks. What in the world is this!?

  • “This is huitlacoche, or corn smut, caused by the fungus Mycosarcoma maydis. The infected corn is edible, and considered a delicacy. Just a warning about your corn fungus, only the immature galls are good for eating. Harvest them when they’re green or silver and firm. Mature galls are black and completely full of spores, which is not tasty :(” © _Nychthemeron / Reddit

8. Found in Lake Michigan, almost doesn’t look real.

  • “It’s mostly crinoid stem hash, with some bivalve cross-sections thrown in. A very pretty specimen, you are lucky!” © NortWind / Reddit

9. UK — we found these in the attic of our new house.

“Apparently they belonged to an admiral William Christopher Packenham, but are these worth anything and where would you sell these.”

10. I was putting away laundry. I can’t believe what I found at the bottom of my wife’s underwear drawer.

12. Should I call the cops?

  • “Call 911. I wouldn’t risk this being a joke. Seriously.” © Unknown author / Reddit
  • “I agree even if it’s a prank (which is messed up beyond belief) you wouldn’t get in trouble for making a false police report because you honestly believed someone was in trouble. You’re a good, caring person. It’s always better for it to turn out to be nothing, rather than it being a real emergency and learning later on that you could have helped someone.” © theredheadknowsall / Reddit

13. Some random dude gave me a USB while at a pub dancing.

“So Friday night as usual at a pub dancing when some dude approached and gave me a USB. At first, I thought it was a keychain but when I came home and took a closer look at it, and it is a USB, the question is should I plug it in? I’m afraid that it might kill the laptop? Not sure.”

  • “That’s scary, but it has just been a month since I moved into this city, lol

    Update — I have done some research. Got to know other people got it too, and it was DJ’s guy handing out USB sticks with his track on it. Here’s what I’ve found on the USB: • Yes, it’s his DJ mix. • Got some info about him: the track is now on SoundCloud.” © vamshiyadav273 / Reddit

14. What is this thing? It’s made of felt and seems to be full of cotton.
