Solved! Christmas lights spotted in Ljubljana. Is this what I think it is?
And if this is sperm fertilizing an egg: why?

r/whatisit has grown to become one of the busiest subs on reddit - we are currently getting over 10 million unique visitors a week. This includes a lot of new Redditors that need help getting started or to be gently told that their joke is not actually that funny or is entirely inappropriate.
The sub combines genuinely useful information identifying things with some laughs and entertainment. It's popular, we've been featured in The Atlantic and Newsweek, but it's a challenging balance to maintain.
We need some extra hands!

This light sign on neighbors house. I think it reads “nope scared”. Why though? What does it have to do with Christmas or anything for that matter?

Hi all - I could use some help on this. I'll give you all the information that I have. My husband works a job where he receives tips, and at Christmas he is often given other gifts - gift cards, bottles of booze, chocolate, stuff like that. For the past few years, one of his customers has given him this jar of...yellow stuff? Geographically - we're in the Boston, USA area. His customer is an older asian woman. The jar has not been "canned" (processed with a canner). My husband thinks it's a glass of tea, but that really doesn't make sense to me. He says the woman acts as if we should know what it is. If anyone has any idea (short of me opening it and drinking it without knowing what it is), I'd love to hear it!
Edit: Wow - this got so much more traction than I expected. And so many of you are sure that it's urine.
It doesn't smell like alcohol, so pretty sure it's not moonshine. It's definitely not honey. I'm guessing the Ginseng Tincture is most likely, I'll be sending a thank you note and asking for the recipe. Not sure when he'll see this customer again, so it may be a while until I have an answer for you all.

The office I work at has a budget for snacks and coffee that’s free to all employees and a few months back we switched granola brands for breakfast. I just now noticed all these bags have small black stickers covering this symbols that’s a K inside of a star with the word PARVE underneath it. The bag on the left is the one I myself took the sticker off of, all of the bags have this covered up. Any idea what that symbol is? Additionally, any idea why it might be covered up?

Me and my fiancé cleared out one of the rooms of all their stuff and underneath one of our desks was…this. At first I thought it was something for miniatures, they paint warhammer and d&d figures etc but they said they’d never seen this in their life. I don’t collect figures or minis either. To me it looks like a honey dipper for a doll but I don’t have any dolls or anything similar. Anyways its been just sitting on my desk for over two weeks now and I fiddle with it sometimes, any ideas what it actually is?

I know I’ve seen these aliens before I just don’t know where. And I would also like that on a shirt.

What are they? It seems like he was hiding them under the lamp. Just a little collection of tiny white papers. Found them while I was cleaning.

Random doohickey I received in an envelope. I don't believe I ordered anything like this and everything I have ordered is accounted for. Very uncomfortable ring. Too small to be a thumbscrew. Lego Ninja Star? Help.

My cool thirty year old hairdresser gave these out as holiday gifts but nobody can figure out what it is.

I found this rock or brick on a beach in the Scottish highlands this September. While I wanted to keep this delightful paperweight, I put it back for another visitor to stumble upon and hopefully chuckle.
I figured that this might be an old brick, but if anyone has a guess I’d like to hear it.

Made of plastic and pretty light. There is a little arm that pops out on top when you press the button. There’s something inside that moves.

I've never seen this before, and another pan from the same set came out of the wash completely normal.
The last thing in this pan was homemade stock with veg scraps (onion, sweet potato, carrot, broccoli) the juices from roast lamb, and a couple of bay leaves.

Seen in another thread about houses for sale. I cannot figure out what the purpose of the tiered thing by the tub is?

Anyone have any insight as to what animal could have done this? It got in and partially ate 3 chickens while injuring another 3. One chicken was torn in half. Two others were barely eaten. We live in the Central Valley and we live within a city.
My first thought is raccoons but my wife thinks it’s a coyote. But I figure if it was a coyote it would have carried off the chickens instead of leaving them there?

Found these washed up at the high tide line. Texture like cling film. No idea whether natural or not.
