Have you ever seen something so strange or unusual that you had no idea what it was or how to explain it? You’re not alone. Many people have encountered bizarre objects or phenomena that left them puzzled, but luckily, the internet is full of curious minds and experts who can help solve these mysteries. In this article, we’ll show you 5 odd things that people saw and the answers that the internet provided. You’ll be amazed by what you’ll learn!

“What is this thing? The inside opens up to empty space, it’s disconnected from the desk below.”

It’s a bed/lap desk. There’s supposed to be a metal bar underneath that slots into the wooden tray, so you can prop it up at different angles for reading and stuff. 

“My clothes pegs are all individually numbered. Why is that?”

Different molds have different numbers so if they start coming out of the machine messed up, they can identify which mold needs replacing.

“What is this thing on my wall with a round hole and a small screen inside?”

It’s a pool access alarm to detect if the gate door has been left open mostly so children or pets don’t wander in and potentially drown.

“Just bought a house, found this hidden inside the front bushes. Screws in a wooden ball, looks like a mace. What was/is this used for?”

There is/was a trend of making DIY Allium flowers out of recycled metal and other scrap.

“What is this? Was doing some filling in the yard and found this. Wife says it’s a gravestone. I think it’s a survey marker.”

That’s a grave marker. Not sure what the police might do unless you think there’s a grave on your property that you’ve uncovered. Worth a shot. Alternately perhaps an office of public health might be able to figure it out. In any case, it would be nice to ensure that a grave wasn’t dug up by a developer and the remains and someone just dumped as fill.

“My girlfriend brought it when we moved in. What is this?”

It’s an abs exerciser.
