New, what is it? Weird antennas pointed at my apartment building

10k Upvotes

Hello Reddit, today I was inside doing chores when I noticed a car in a parking lot outside of my apartment building. As I looked closer I noticed he was aiming some sort of antenna towards the building. He was here for maybe 45 seconds and as I watched the video he had others on the roof routing inside the windows of his car.

Is this some sort of survive equipment? It was very odd because there are no radio towers, street lights, or anything with an explanation I could think of in the immediate area/ line of sight. TIA!!

My finance added to the grocery list. Zero idea what the second item on the list is and I’m a teacher used to some wild handwriting. I will ask, but am so flabbergasted I’m curious if anyone can figure it out.

Hi everyone! I was on a walk with my kiddo and we saw this strange thing growing on a tree and we couldn't figure out what it was. It seemed to be the only one on the tree. We followed our usual rules of if we don't know don't touch just take a picture and we were hoping someone here could help us find out what the heck it was. We are in the general NJ area if that helps to figure out what it is. Thanks a ton in advance!

A few of these leaning barrels popped up in my neighborhood recently. I'm so confused about what they could be.

What are these? Kind of looks like some sort of egg to me. The brown stuff outside the jelly-egg things are coffee grounds.

It’s a Pokémon sprite pin obviously but the design is completely scuffed off. Would be cool to find out which Pokémon this is and where this pin might’ve come from.

New, what is it? Found in Roof After Water Leak

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

I have a winter house in the Phoenix area and discovered a bit of water damage on the ceiling of one of the rooms in my house after recent monsoon rains. I bought the house in 2023, had the roof replaced that year, and had the air conditioner replaced in 2025. The AC sits on top of the house.

I went into the attic area and above the area where the leak was found, I discovered this piece of metal sticking through the roof. It appears to have sheet metal around it. This is right under where the AC sits.

I suspect it's either damage from the AC installation last year (a mis-installed footing?), or perhaps an old remnant pre-dating both the roof and the AC installation? Though I would be surprised that both the roofer and the AC installer would not notice (or mention) it. There is also an old, large antenna sitting in the attic, so possibly a remnant from that?

Any ideas? Advice on whom to contact first (roofer or AC installer) to half-ask, half-accuse them of the damage and ask for a fix? Thanks in advance.

I need to know what this is. Two dogs in the last two months have eaten them, and had surgery to remove them. But we have NO idea what it started as. Is there a dog toy or bone that anyone recognizes? It is hard and rubbery. Not rat poison. Not foam.

Solved! who knows cars?

Our backyard neighbor has this older car sitting in his shed. i took this photo from my porch. ive been wanting to ask/possibly make an offer for it because I love any and all shapes of older cars. but this one is stumping me. is this an 70s Camaro or possibly an older Ford? Tag says it was last registered in '02. So its probably been sitting here at least 20 or so years. Figured there is a good reason it got parked and forgotten about. maybe blown engine or something. any ideas what it is?

New, what is it? What is this large device on this cats collar?

Post image
19 Upvotes

This cat always comes around for a long time, but today they had a new accessory. I first thought it was a camera given how large it was, but it doesn't seem to be the case as that doesn't look like a lens, but a button (with a paw print on it). I would guess a tracker of some sort, but then why would it be so big?

Anyone know what it is?
