If you’re unsure, look it up on Google, or even better, ask around in the online community for the solution. These days, knowledge is at our fingertips because to the digital age we live in, which not only makes it possible for us to study a vast amount of fresh information but also connects us to other people who have interests in common.
Six individuals approached the Internet users and requested their assistance in identifying the objects they had discovered. They received their responses quickly, as was to be expected.
1. Is it trash or is there more to it?
While rummaging through the junk drawer, someone noticed something that caught his eye. This individual called the object a “scoopy doodad” and was curious to find out what it was or if it was just a piece of junk. He described it as being very heavy, unmarked, and having a very little hole on top.
The online community claims that the original Sunbeam Mixmaster included a juicer attachment, which included a bowl that attached to the mixer’s top and an odd-looking item that served as the spout through which the juice would flow. The purpose of the wire portion that is holding the little strainer is to remove the pulp.
A vintage cabinet discovered
Someone opened an old cabinet and discovered an odd device made entirely of glass with tiny holes running the length of it. They were curious to find out more, and fortunately, other users of the internet were there to inform them of their discovery.
This item turned out to be a flower frog that was used to support a vase of flowers. Have you ever witnessed anything like before?
3. A bulky glass item
Someone found a heavy glass object and asked Redditors to help him identify it. It was unmarked when it arrived, and the top had a very little hole. The people on this site knew the solution, as usual.
Perhaps you were surprised to learn that this thing was actually an oil candle.
4. An enigmatic item discovered in a bedroom drawer
A curious thing was found inside the bed drawer, leaving one Reddit member perplexed. Although the bottom seemed to be composed of soft leather or suede, they were unsure of its possible identity.
It was revealed by a user who was knowledgeable about the item’s nature that this is a nail buffer. It’s something I never would have anticipated.
5. What’s concealed beneath the flooring?
One Reddit member was having trouble identifying a silver-colored device that looked like an old-fashioned scissor. They claimed to have discovered the strange object beneath the floorboards of a house built in the 1800s.
Despite its peculiar appearance, it was discovered that this item, which was used to peel the tops off soft-boiled eggs, was widely utilized and a fixture in many homes in the past.
6. An odd discovery in a motel room
A visitor observed something in a hotel room that intrigued him enough to inquire about it with Reddit users. They couldn’t help but wonder why their bedside table had a vertical slot inside of it.
As usual, Redditors were quick to respond to this person, letting them know that a tablet or laptop may be stored in this position.

Guide Dogs of America Needs Volunteer ‘Puppy Raisers’
Working with wonderful woofers, the sort of furry joy-bringers that make a difference in people’s lives?
Pitching in with a pack of incredible pups can make a lasting impression on a person’s mind, outlook, and, for sure, their spirit, too.
And that chance to lend a hand, your time, some empathy and understanding, and a whole lot of love is coming up, on Dec. 11, thanks to a “puppy raiser” training session with Guide Dogs of America.
This is a virtual happening, via Zoom, and it will be the final online information event before in-person gatherings return to the Sylmar campus in 2022.
Guide Dogs of American pairs trained pups with “… individuals who are blind/visually impaired and service dogs for veterans and children with autism,” with dogs also being placed in “hospitals, schools, and courtrooms.”
“Our highly skilled canines become trusted companions that increase people’s confidence, mobility, and independence. All programs and services, including transportation, personalized training, room/board, and postgraduate support, are provided at no cost to the recipient,” states the organization on its site.
And helping the organization achieve its mission?
Puppy raisers, those dedicated volunteers who are among some of the first people a young, in-training dog gets to know, trust, and adore.
If you choose to pursue volunteering for this life-changing role, there’ll be a few initial considerations, as well as matters you’ll want to mull.
One consideration? Where you reside. You and the puppy in your care will need to call upon the Sylmar campus on occasion, and attendance at both monthly puppy group meetings and “puppy kindergarten classes” is required.
The Dec. 11 information session will address what you can expect from meetings and classes, as well as what at-home life will be like with the future guide dog you’re helping to raise.
Questions covered include the breeds and types of puppies that volunteers raise, what can be expected in terms of puppy proofing and such, what out-of-pocket expenses might look like, and how long the puppy will live in your home.
And, yes: “(W)hat happens when the dogs ‘go off to college’ to begin formal training” is also a central topic of the session, as well as how dogs are paired with their forever people once they’ve graduated.
The word straight from Sylmar? “We ALWAYS need puppy raisers,” says Stephanie Colman, the coordinator of the puppy program.
So even if you can’t join the December Zoom, you can plan to attend an in-person information session on the Guide Dogs of America campus, in early 2022.
Could this be your new year’s resolution?
