  1. We have an ID! A kind of garden shears for cutting flowers; the shears grab the cut stems so they don’t fall down.

    Somewhere along the way I acquired this pair of scissors with an unexpected feature. They cut like scissors. The extra thingummy sticking out one side of the pair of blades is the question.

    So far, I’ve wondered if it’s a guide for cutting 3/8 inch (10mm) from a given mark on the thing being cut, while spouse wonders if it’s meant to keep one cut piece from falling to the ground.

    Is there a tool ID tag in common use?

  6. Soooo I was sitting outside around 11pm, filming an approaching hedgehog, when I suddenly heard this very loud sound. Whatever it is doesn't sound happy. I've looked up the distress calls of hedgehogs and martens because both live around here. But this doesn't really sound like either.

    Does anyone have any idea what animal this could be? I'm in Europe btw.

  16. My spouse found this washed up on the shore of the river, in an area where there was a fur trading post in the 1700-1800s. What's the best way to identify it? #AskHistorians #archaeology #WhatIsThis #History

  21. I had a phone call with my gp on Friday, as no in person appointments left. I went through all the problems with my hands. Red, hot and itchy, or white and numb, painful joints, can’t bend, angry bumpy bits and swollen, can’t fully bend, and there’s pain when I try. It’s the same fingers on both hands.

    She asked for some pics which I sent, and she said she would ring back with a plan. I’ve still not heard from her, and they’re getting worse.

    Because it looks like maybe a few different things, I feel like I’ve tried everything, but nothing is helping.

    Here’s a small selection of pics of my hands throughout the day.

  26. Any ideas what this could be? Found this hand cast pot thingy at an estate sale. It is not very large, kind of like a ramekin? There's a slot on the side as well, near the middle of the jar thing. #WhatIsThis #pottery #MysteryCeramics

  31. I’m late coming back with the mystery answer! It’s giant TACTICAL black rubber bands! I think about 65 in 4 sizes. I use them often to close up bags of food that need to be tightly closed for freshness and often things put in the freezer or refrigerator.

    I’ve always just used miscellaneous rubber bands, often the ordinary beige ones. But as I added to my list of things to order I had the thought maybe there are heavy duty large rubber bands and there are! Check out the screenshot. If you look at the Amazon product page the comments cracked me up. Manly men happy to have “tactical” rubber bands. And use them in ways I am not acquainted with. Some are, um, yikes?#Mystery #WhatIsThis #GoodMorning #Today #INeedCoffee #RubberBands

  36. My funny moment of the day so far: received a box packed full of things I ordered from Amazon and of course since it was very early I couldn’t think well. So first I pull out a plastic packaging bag of box padding. Or is it! Ha, took me a few minutes to realize it’s something I ordered for household use. Can you tell what it is? I’ll reply to guesses and Bingo for the winning guess.
