When people find something interesting but don't know what it is, they have several options. You can ask your friends, or go online for answers. In this post, you will see unusual things that have puzzled users.
1. Round, metal plate, concave. Two finger holes
"Komal" or "tawa". It is a flat shape used in various places in Central America to make flatbreads.
2. What are these boat accessories?
This is part of the windshield of a bass boat on the passenger side.
3. This thing is cast from steel or iron
Vintage holder for large mail bags to keep them open when putting things in them.
4. What kind of platform ladder is this? It is located at the entrance to the local forest with hiking trails

5. We got this from an elderly friend who claims it's something for the hands.
This is a device for the hands, for physiotherapy and sensorimotor therapy.
6. What is this thing? The middle is flexible enough to press two semicircles together. Each semicircle has indentations
This is a massage tool.
7. Wooden table with a curved armrest that rotates
The wooden section fits between the mattress and box springs and serves as a handle to help you get in and out of the bed.
8. Found it in a rented apartment. A small green brick with ribs, a hole in the middle, crumbling
It's good that they keep it with gloves, it's rat poison.
9. I bought this 10 years ago in Taiwan. It looks and feels like glass, but I've dropped it many times and it hasn't broken. It also glows in the dark. What is this?
The glow-in-the-dark substance is almost certainly strontium aluminate. Older glow-in-the-dark materials used zinc sulfide, which is much dimmer.
10. Found on the shore, plastic and hollow, the size of a large SUV, attached to the ground
"Bumper" fender of a large ship. Used to prevent huge ships from colliding with the pier. It must have washed ashore during a storm.

The text at the top reads: “Shared happiness in marriage.” There are shallow holes drilled at the top and bottom that do not connect in the center. The underside of the object is flat. This is Yut Sticks, a Korean board game.
12. Found this metal drum in the forest
