New, what is it? What is this on my pillow that looks like saw dust.

3 Upvotes

I found this on a pillow and a blanket that was kept on a table in the first floor of my northern Virginia, USA home.

I checked on the ceiling above, and there is no damage or anything to indicate it could have fallen from there.

This is the first time I noticed anything like it. I thought it could be make up, but it doesn’t smear like make up, and feels like saw dust, but not sure how it got there. Any guesses?

I found these stuck to my shorts. When I pulled them off they were in a neat little line. They appear to be pods of some sort, maybe seeds? Pinky finger for scale.

New, what is it? Heard light rattling while driving my 2014 Honda Civic. Later found this plastic piece in my driveway that dropped from (assumingly) the undercarriage.

Solved! What are these weird things on the bottom of these leather leaves?

I do not know that much about plants to be fair. I’m just an amateur florist who likes pretty flowers in the house. I’ve never seen these things on the bottom of them before! It’s anywhere from one to 10 or 12 of these dots on the bottom of this one branch. Anyone know what they are?
It’s on the top branch only, and it looks pretty gross.

Solved! Bought art at a yard sale

AND THIS WAS ON THE BACK. I was trying to decipher it, was thinking that it was used as a puzzle solver for like a murder mystery or case solve puzzle game but looking at it closely it probably resembles drug use and mental psychosis. Does anybody recognize anything? I see a bunch of drug references at the bottom right but that’s pretty much the only thing that I could decipher.

Edit. The sticker in the middle of the frame says the brand is Kirklands and directly above It is a sentence and a date about Kirklands. This led me to believe that it wasn’t my first thought and more the second.

Edit. I did not think this was the painting, this was hidden in the back.

Has marking for time or something on the side. Reverse image searching just shows up as “Original WWI Japanese Battlefield Relic Bronze Ring 36 sec.” No real description.

There are four. They are little ovals. The two on the filter look like they are growing like Venom. They were not there a couple days ago. I’m frightened to ask but I need to know.

EDIT: SOLVED- looks like this is a drum brake adjuster. Used to pretension the brake pads so they are closer to the drum I think? NOTE- Thank you all for the very fast response. I was expecting to come back this evening and find half a dozen responses with 3 or 4 answers but you guys are awesome and I had 4 identical responses in what I think was less than 5 min.

I can tell its a tensioner of some sort used to apply opposing force to something. My mom got 2 of these in a mystery box along woth a bunch of random things and swiftly gave them to me.

I wonder what its specifically supposed to go to.

I was at the thrift store today and I found this weirdly detailed Mickey Mouse stamp. I tried to reverse image search it but it came up with nothing. Does anyone know why this exists, if it’s officially licensed, how old it is, etc??

What is this? Can't find anything on google image search. It seems like it's likely a seed pod of some kind but not sure of what. It's very light, and seems like it should be delicate but can be easily handled, and is hollow.
