I just wanna know what you specifically call these types of gifs where a move tool on a software or app is being used to do certain actions like for example feeding or patting a characters head. These are examples of what I mean. I don't need softwares, just the name of these types of gifs to clarify.

Solved! Found two small metal objects on the floor of my 2003 Honda Accord. What are they?

Thumbnail

2.3k Upvotes

I found these two small, dark metal objects on the floor of my 2003 Honda Accord. They’re about the size of a pea and have an irregular, rounded shape, with what looks like a silvery, damaged, or flattened area on top.
I found two of them and don’t know where they came from. I’m wondering if they’re parts of something in the car or if they could have come from something else.
Does anyone recognize these? Could they be ball bearings, parts of a mechanism, or something automotive-specific?
Additional details:
Car: 2003 Honda Accord
Size: Approximately the size of a pea
Material: Appears to be metal
Quantity: Two similar pieces
Location found: On the car floor
I’ve attached photos from a couple of angles. Any ideas or suggestions for identifying them would be appreciated!

I saw this license plate the other day and I can’t figure out what it is. The small print on top said “license and insurance not required”. I couldn’t read the bottom portion. When the man saw me taking pictures he accelerated away. ???

Solved! Couldn't get my key into my front door lock and locksmith was able to get this out? What is it? Did someone try to break in or did my lock just break?

Very tiny thing...

Edit: I have naturally shaky hands and this thing is tiny. Also, didn't think it needed to be said, but the locksmith had no idea what it was. If he knew I wouldn't be here.

Solved! What is this small object I found in my son’s room?

Post image
• Upvotes

Found in a pill bottle but I don’t think it’s a pill. Around the size of a grain of rice, when I asked him about he would only tell me he ‘just found it’ and refused to elaborate on what it was. Reddit help!

eta: He admitted it was a microchip from a cat. Will not tell me why he has it, refuses to explain WHERE he found it. I’m thinking about taking it to a veterinary clinic and having them scan it to see the owner’s information. Pretty unnerved by this whole situation and I will be having a long talk with him.

Found on the beach, space coast Florida. Fully sealed glass with mystery powder in it. If nobody can figure it out I’ll have no choice but to break it open and taste it.

Found this hole on the outside panel of glass at work this morning. Does anyone know what could have caused this?

Context: on the 6th floor up, no evidence of a bullet, pellet or BB on the ledge or between the plates of glass. Working in a rougher neighborhood. Not a ballistics expert, myself.

New, what is it? This has been sitting in the back of a kitchen cabinet for years. The top black knob has a spring that pushes the metal blades down. What is it meant to cut?

New, what is it? Laundry cum on pants

Post image
125 Upvotes

My freshly washed pants keep coming out of my laundry looking like a cum rag. What is on my pants? Why are the pants not clean? It's driving me crazy!

Edit: It's an Impeller washer. A top loader without a center agitator. I use liquid tide detergent to the fill line recommended on the machine. I fill the drum with loose clothing to 75-100% for each cycle. It's specifically the pants that are athletic stretch dress pants this happens to. Like Lululemon slacks. Everything else seems fine. The pants are washed inside out, hang dried, the. turned right side and look dirty. So it's not something getting on them after the washing is done.

NSFW just in case. My cat had emergency surgery today because she ate this. I can’t believe she got it down, it’s huge, maybe 3x1.5 cm. The vet said it’s tan and rubbery and had been in her tract for a while. Any ideas? Trying to cat proof the house but we’re stumped! Kitty is doing well and cat tax is on the third slide :)

It’s really cool, but I have no idea what it’s supposed to be. It’s made of brass, with pieces of colored glass in the center. Approx 24” diameter, ~5 pounds. Definitely something that was hung up, not on a wall, but by 3 chains around the perimeter of the glass. Google Lens says it’s a serving tray, but I don’t think so, as it has a hole in the center. Anybody know what this is?
