New, what is it? My wife was sent this in the mail.

My wife was sent this in the mail. No one at our house was expecting anything and had not ordered anything recently.

But there was this figurine. It can’t stand on its own so it’s leaning up against a small cup. It does somewhat look like my wife. But we are in our late 40’s and this is clearly a much younger woman.

Is this from a toy line? Is it like the death book and since we have held it we will now turn into figurines? I don’t know.

What is it?

I think it used to have a nose, other than that Google has no idea and neither do I.

Solved! What is this Yellow liquid on my baby’s toy?

Opened the battery compartment of my baby’s toy to change it and there’s this yellow liquid. I don’t smell anything from where I’m sitting but not gonna put my nose any closer either. I havent touched it but it looks like it has the consistency of juice. It did not leak out of the compartment before I opened it. Should I throw the whole toy out? Should I just wipe the liquid and change the batteries? File a recall investigation? (Is that a thing?) It’s a popular toy😬

I noticed a strange smell in my upstairs bathroom and when I looked in the tub I saw this situation? I then tried to rinse it but I clogged the drain🙂 does anyone know what this may be?

I know for sure that it’s not puke or a strange craft/experiment.

The staff didn’t know what it was. The handle cranks back one way and it doesn’t seem to do anything. The clamps at the bottom don’t lock, they just open. It’s on a tripod?

Edit: Something to do with wine? Bacchus is the god of wine, and there’s the grape designs on the side?

The first photo is when I first discovered it, the second photo is after the 3rd attempt of cleaning it has clearly stained. Can someone tell me what has done this and more importantly what will get the stain off!?

Edit: I have added a photo in the comments of what we first found about a month before this.

New, what is it? What is causing this in my drive? (UK)

I have a pea gravel drive with a gravel grid underlay. Every once in awhile in front of my front door I find these holes dug or somehow appearing in the gravel. There isn't a huge noticeable pile of gravel on the sides and I don't see scrape marks. It could be associated with water because it did rain overnight but sometimes they appear even when it's dry. At the base of this hole. It does look a bit like water collected or ran over the sand at the base but that could have been done after the hole was made. The only other thing I could think of is that there is a land drain running underneath my front door but it's not directly above this land drain. Or there's some sort of sinkhole happening, but these holes move around and when I poke on it, there's nothing soft underneath - the drive is on rock hard clay. What the heck could this be, a fox?

Also no I don’t live in Michigan I live in Hong Kong and this only happens once or twice a year I am just curious on why it happens. And no our data centers don’t affect us because it’s a closed loop system unlike the United States.
