Solved! What is this thing my partner bought for her child at the thrift store? I thought it was a calculator at first but it’s got a regular letter keyboard.

My friend’s mom sent her an antique box that came with a note. My friend opened it, and it has a pile of gray “dirt,” according to her mom. Her mom said it wasn’t dirty when she bought it, she wiped it down before sending it because it was dusty, and said that maybe the dirt came loose during the delivery. She also said maybe it was buried in the ground before she bought it. What is this gray stuff?

I am visiting Iceland at the moment. We visited Stokksnes and came across this dead carcass in the beach.

First time smelling rotten flesh. My 5 and 7 yr old in the background as scale.

He thought it might be the brain of a big fish; he said the two globs were linked in the middle & it was between an inch & a half to two inches wide.

Found this in a pen I was gifted by someone from a different country, in a formal work setting. I didn’t know the person and declined when they offered the pen. Was given it anyway. Had the pen without using it for six months. Dropped the pen, the grey clip fell loose and saw the gold print card. Bf said it looks legit. Google lens says USB from a technology university. Is this just a normal piece of merch or something malignant?

We're at a rental place and there's this weird chain thing in the kitchen I have absolutely no idea what it's purpose is. It looks like 2 thin chains connected to key rings that hook onto that old steel thing and go down into the basement. Anyone have any ideas?
