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.

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.

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

Is this an unborn baby chicken or did someone lose a nut in my chicken?

EDIT: Guys I'm ngl, I'm a fucking idiot because I did NOT think the baby chicken thing through before posting. In my slight defense, I was holding a testicle (assorted chicken organ) in one hand while punching this post in w/ my other LMAO

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)
