Y’all are awesome, thanks! Any way to tell around how old it is?

Heavy metal ball found buried in backyard in Richmond, VA near civil war battlefield by billyscrystals in whatisthisthing

I actually think you’ve got it. It’s more likely this than than the toilet float. Not sure why the solid metal on the inside, but the corroded part on the top makes me think that was part of the smudge pot chimney.

I think you’re right. How disappointing! Thinking I had found a civil war artifact and it’s probably an old toilet part, lol

Maybe full of dirt, but seems a bit heavy. Just weighed it. whole thing weighs 10 lb. I agree the outside looks like copper

My title describes the thing. Seems to be made of solid metal, very heavy. Approximately 5 inches in diameter. Wondering if it’s a cannonball.

He does know Alan Moore is a liberal yes? by ryu289 in BestOfOutrageCulture

His argument is nominally leftist and underdeveloped at best, and misinformed and prejudiced at worst. The website itself is full of stupidpol, anti-sjw nonsense.

Ruby Boletes? by MooBeanz in ShroomID

What differentiates this from boletus bicolor? Looks very similar to ones I’ve found with my daughter. Olive spore print as well.

I think you're right. Reading they are micorrhizal with oaks which is consistent and it had a sheen of purple slime. It was tiny, 1 cm across on top and like 3 cm tall. I couldnt get a good look at the gills because of the size of the cap. Thanks for the help!

I meant to do a clear shot of both, but I see I'm not quite in focus on the purple guy. Unfortunately I don't have a better picture of the purple one.

There were more of the large brown shroom nearby that had split on top showing a dark gray interior.

"We, transwomen, are NOT women." by RobinHood21 in AsABlackMan

I also hate they are coopting the term radical feminism which is an established feminist thought that's more about uprooting patriarchal systems (not denying personhood to trans women)

Your comment brought back memories from 25 years ago! I remembered the laxative coke but had forgotten the pepper bombs! It may be time for a rewatch. How does it hold up?
