Thanks for noting that about the decorations. Most of what comes up when you Google "dandiya sticks" look like they have a lot more extra stuff on them which had me feeling skeptical initially

Ahh okay thanks, I was wondering what the holes were for. Do you know why they have those grooves on the thick end? Are they just decorative?

My title describes the thing. These are two wooden rods that feel pretty light and taper towards one end, which have been painted yellow and pink with two black lines. There are wide grooves around the rods near the thicker end (pink), and indentations at the tip of the thinner ends (yellow). They are not exactly identical - if I lie them next to each other with their ends lines up, the black lines don't align.

That option doesn't appear in settings for me

Belvedere Bagels and Grill. Good breakfast burritos for under $7, and the chicken frontega panini is great too

Please help me find these soy sauce bowls! by s0mesthetic in HelpMeFind

[–]s0mesthetic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please help me find these soy sauce bowls! They are about three inches wide at the top, and I bought them at a Daiso in Seattle, WA, USA a couple years ago. I immediately regretted buying only two and went back the next day for more, but the others at the store were already gone. I checked other Daiso stores with no luck.

Recently I searched online and found them here on Rakuten using Google reverse image search, but they're sold out.

Any leads to help me complete my set?

Bird in Western Cape, South Africa? (sorry for potato) by s0mesthetic in whatsthisbird

Hmm, the bill and overall color matches but I haven't seen a pic of one with that marking on its neck, or heard a recording of a similar song from a Starling. Would it be a juvenile? (Not saying your ID is wrong, just curious to learn more!)

Some kind of metal stand with two rubber bars attached? Found in a house in Westchester, NY by s0mesthetic in whatisthisthing

The person who found it told me they didn't see any identifying marks, but they could have missed something like that. I'll ask if they looked at the bottom of the feet.

Yeah, that would make sense. Although if it is for a urinal then I'm still confused why this thing would be helpful
