New, what is it? A children’s toy from the 2000s that was an ice cream themed horse stable?

It had waffle cone walls and a pink ice cream roof? And possibly yellow trim. It opened up horizontally so you could see the inside. I have looked everywhere and I cannot find this stable :(((

Moved into a house in Newfoundland and can’t seem to figure out what this is for on my sink. It’s probably stupid simple but I’m curious any idea what the heck this is? It’s like a thin faucet with its own thing to turn on to

New, what is it? Strange noise, unknown origin.

Thumbnail voca.ro

Hi (Sorry in advance, English is not my first language.)

Since a week, maybe two, I hear that mysterious noise, from I don't know where. It sounds like water dripping or something like that.

At first, I thought it came from outside but opening the window doesn't help me at all to find the location. In fact, it even seems to decrease its intensity.

I hear it mostly at night, but sometimes during the day. I'm sure it's not the rain and no water is running during the night. It usually lasts a minute, then comes back after 5-10 minutes.

I have trouble sleeping because of it.

I recorded it with my phone and amplified it. (Warning, it's loud.)

Walnut? Fungus? It’s hard as a rock. We are in Sacramento California on a hike and none of us can decide what this is

New, what is it? Can anybody identify what animal is making this noise?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been going on walks during the evening hours this summer, and I’ve been hearing this animal call every single night without fail. It’s always in the same chunk of forest, and it doesn’t pop up on any of my animal/bird identification apps.

I’ve never seen the animal (given that it’s dark) but it sounds like it’s up in the trees.

Location: Southeastern boundary of the Adirondacks, New York.

Time of night: 9-10pm.

Frequency of Calls: One single call, followed by ~10 seconds of silence.

Variation of Call: None. It’s the same call every single time, without variation.

New, what is it? What are these frequent streaks of light appearing in the security camera?

3 Upvotes

I have a Tapo C125 camera live-streaming from behind a window, pointed out toward the Manhattan skyline.

At night, I keep seeing streaks of light rapidly dashing across the sky. They look very similar to meteors, but they happen far too frequently, sometimes about once every minute or so.

A few details:

  • The camera is behind a window glass. 20th floor.
  • Night mode is disabled; the camera stays in day mode.
  • This happens repeatedly throughout the night.
  • The streaks appear to move very quickly across the sky.
  • I'm looking toward the Manhattan skyline.

Here's an example of one of the light streaks: clip

Does anyone know what this could be? Is it some kind of camera artifact, reflection, insects?

Recently bought a new home. The previous owner left a ton of beekeeping, as well as gardening supplies in the shed. I'm terrified of opening any of them, so I don’t know what they smell like.

I know its not a "what is", its a "when is it", but i have no idea where else to post this. Seller claimed they're both handmade and over a hundred years old. Managed to bring the cost for both down from $170usd ($42 for powder horn, $128 for medicine bag) down to $100 total. Are they really that old?

I bought a bag of spinach and most of the leaves have these little bumps on them. They don’t rub off and seem to be part of the leaf.

Any idea what it is? I feel like I’ve seen it before, just not on every leaf

Pulled a new diaper out of the pack and there’s some foreign substance in the lining — feels like a thick wad of gum slightly hardened but still flexible.

Hey yall, I was on one of the side beaches off of the Newport Cliff Walk the other day when I found this between the rocks. I’ve never seen anything like this, it feels not too heavy and what really puzzles me is the fibrous/crosshatch pattern. My guess is that it could be some kind of fiberglass? But I have no idea. Any ideas what this could be?
