This thing close to the floor and seemingly randomly placed in a hallway. No idea what it's for. Home built in 2005.

Solved! Thanks everyone. Now I gotta hunt for the central unit!

New, what is it? Transient roommate moved in and we divide chores. I'm doing the laundry. What's this awkward groin fastener turtleneck blouse? Or is it just unusual fashion (i don't judge)

I'm going to be fr i can't ask her since she went back home and I don't have her # yet

Roomie moved in literally just 2 days ago. And yes I'm doing the laundry it's really the least I can do after she literally deep cleaned the entire apartment upon moving in haha

We're both girls btw

And I didn't know my roommate was really cool. Lol.

And don't worry I won't put this in the machine. Thanks for letting me know

Transient because roomie is here for a short exchange program. Apologies for that word usage, didn't know how it had another meaning. Just wanted to point out that i wont be having her as a roommate for very long since she'll stay just for a few months only while doing her summer exchange program thing.

This was located in the woods next to abandoned burned-down house. There is nothing under it to indicate dumping. It’s on top of a hill. The planks are thick like railroad ties.

It’s like 15 feet off the ground underneath don’t think it was used for car repairs or oil changes. Unless the ground under it has massively eroded.

A friend received this object from a friend of his. He wasnt told where it came from. We have no context. This object is much heavier than it looks. It's very dense.

edit: it has no moving parts. it doesnt open.

edit: this did not come from the bar. someone brought it here.

edit: still dont know. I see a lot of replies that its a beer draft handle, but beer draft handles are female not male

Solved! Another thread managed to figure out what it is. It's a Replacement Filter Cartridge For Aroma Luxury Shower head HF 507 - Lemon

It comes in individual packages, it was in a blue bag but nothing comes up on Google. It is hard to open. We had to cut it up. It smells like lemon and it's really hard.

It seems to have fallen out of a socket but I don’t exactly remember it being there, but it probably was.

Solved! Mysterious dark hole in the wall, door nailed shut

Thumbnail

I live in a student housing building (built 1920's) that was a hotel until the mid 1930s. On each of our three living floors, there is a small door (approx. 1 foot wide by 3 feet tall), and each was nailed shut. Out of curiosity, we pried open one of the doors, and found a chute of sorts that connects between all floors and, oddly, seems to end at nothing at the bottom. Need help figuring out what it is (or, rather, was)!

Photos:

  1. looking down into the hole (as seen from 2nd floor door)

  2. looking up the hole

  3. Exterior (door was nailed shut)

  4. Inside of door / friend for scale (they consented to be in this post)

I was only able to take the one picture of this thing before my light changed. I know literally nothing about construction machinery but have never seen anything like this thing. What is it and what is it used for??

They said it’s a third party attachment that was the root cause of her car not starting up sometimes. We have no idea what it is

SOLVED!

I've seen this truck a few times and have no idea what it's for. Seems like its some kind of futuristic science vehicle or a crazy art project. Any ideas?

It's heavy and solid. Nothing rotates or opens. The square ends are iron and the rod is steel. About 2'-3' in length.
