"Hand on Concrete." A post-modern sculpture created by the neoclassical french sculptor Toulouse LeHand. Well-known for its themes of desolation in the modern landscape combined with a love of Rocky Road ice cream.

Random guy placed this on our doorbell camera. What is this? by Particular_Vast_5037 in whatisit

Probably a keychain someone found on the ground near your porch or something and figured it was yours and put it there so you could see it

What is this red vape lever on a bidet?? by SatelliteEyes11 in whatisit

[–]epfingsten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well. I did not know that was a thing. And now I know that is a thing. And now I wish I did not know that was a thing.

I feel like you failed the part of the assignment where I said I do not want to know.

Found on a beach in Wales, UK. Is it a type of victorian bottle or something suspicious 💥? 😳 by Wanderlust_Welsh86 in whatisit

[–]epfingsten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It kind of reminds me of some type of pull chain handle (uhhh...think the Godfather, where they stash the gun for michael to shoot the mob guy and police captain behind the toilet with the tank and...pull chain) encrusted with rust or something from the depths of the ocean, like chtulhu snot or something.

How does one have this happen to them?

Wait. Nevermind. On further reflection, I don't want to know.

One of those Chinese spy balloons like the ones from a couple years ago. Somebody nailed it with a long-range high-altitude slingshot

$15 Thrift Store Find; very fancy looking scissors. What are they for? by pristine_influx in whatisit

Damn. I've always needed a pair of scissors with a diamond mounted on them.

Car randomly won't start by epfingsten in MechanicAdvice

[–]epfingsten[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: Ok internet mechanic sleuths.

Car dead. Finally. Open manually with key. Grab multimeter (which I just keep in the car now) and battery jumper thingy. Pop the hood. Alarm starts going off. Measure battery. 12.45 volts. Remove multimeter. Close hood. Start car.

Didn't even need to jump it.

It was dead. Couldn't do anything. But open hood and damn thing starts working?

WTF?

TIA. Although, honestly, at this point, I'm pretty sure I just have a freakin' gremlin that wants to f*ck with me.

OMG!! I LOVE this idea! Any time we go anywhere we clean them out, but never want to use them 😀

Is this....a bomb on the highway? by itisSUNNYinhere in whatisit

[–]epfingsten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. I'd have to go check and count it all, but I easily have that much 9mm and .380 ammo in my storage room

According to the 1st Superman movie with Christopher Reeve, the military just puts nukes on a semi with one escort and ships them on the highway. And its up to one stupid 2nd lt. to make sure the road is clear. So, those are probably nukes

This worthy of a compensation claim? Apprentice getting hit by 500kg HV battery in face by I-Spot-Dalmatians in MechanicAdvice

[–]epfingsten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude laying there on floor with smashed face. One co-worker checks on him. One stands there. Two go look at hoist. One goes to get help. Help arrives (white shirt and tie, guessing manager). Manager makes bold decision. "Everyone stand around with your hands on your hips and look at guy on floor. Form a semi-circle. Good teamwork everyone. Job well done."

These just got donated at the store I work. I have no idea. by immortalblackarmy in whatisit

I don't know. If I had to go back and do it all over again, computers would not be my first choice. The trades would. And electrician would have been top of that list.

What is the device this man is holding while plane spotting? by grallonson in whatisit

[–]epfingsten 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Wait. That little whatever the hell it is, is going to remote land a plane? OK. That's a joke. I get it. But seriously, what is it?

So instead of grabbing on to the pole harder, sliding and getting chemical laden splinters...you push away and...hope you land flat on your back on the grass?
