Looks like maybe west African origins

Coworker found this in a shipping yard under a shipping container , decided to cut it apart (against his better judgment) . As soon as he hit it with a cutting wheel it was exploded in his hand and damn near took his whole thumb off . It has two wires that appear to be cut on the top side. We have scoured the Internet trying to figure out what it is !

I found it on the beach. Not sure if it’s coral or something else?

This was purchased in Krakow, Poland. Was confused when nothing really lined up.

Just moved into this house (Bay Area, CA - built around 1920) and this thing is in the middle of the yard. It's pretty massive and inconveniently placed so I kinda want to get rid of it, but before I do I'm curious what purpose it serves or when it may be from. Just a grill?

I did have one fire in it and there's a chamber in the back where the chimney is, but none of the smoke really goes through there if you have the fire in the front grill part. Thanks!

It just appeared on my desk and I have attached a reference size image as well.

I've never seen something like this before.

Edit: Thankyou everybody for all the responses and helping me identify what this is :)

Is it natural or artificial

they are attached to the bolts holding the pillars for an amusement park ride.

sorry for the bad picture

I found this in my backyard which used to be farmland from the 1700s until the early 1900s. I believe it is a bullet of some kind but I’m not sure. There is an inscription along the side that reads “Sold by P.H Ma-y + La—- New York” there is also writing around the base but it is too hard for me to read. Does anyone know?

Found it above my kitchen cabinet, in the apartment I recently moved into it. It was inside of a plastic case. It’s a glass tube that’s bigger towards the bottom with metal beads. It also seemingly has a ruler or measuring tool inside. I’m unsure what it is or what it does.

Was going to use some of my peroxide today but when i poured it on a napkin saw chunks of these come out???? Um ?? what is this ?

UPDATE :
\ I’ll try to keep story time short because i’m still healing and no contact*

Anywho, my ex who spent a lot of time at my apartment had some issues with his back molar and sometimes he would have aching tooth pains that would really bother him. I did see him crushing up cloves in a napkin then letting it sit/soak in his mouth where his sore tooth was.
But we broke up months ago, so it didn’t occur to me that he may have done this my peroxide. he could’ve at least told me before i kept using it for reasons other than oral 🫤🫤 But i’m about 90% sure he would be the culprit if they are cloves.

My tenant has run this little white cable to a wire coming out of the ground. What could this be for?

so i saw this animal when i was driving my bike in poland, Lubelskie. it was moving and it looked odd, didnt look like any animal i know or at least it was posed oddly , it wasnt a boar and it was too small for a horse which it kind of looks like, it cant be a mule beacuse they aren't bred in this area and i doubt one would be wandering off into a random field.

(i might just be mental but i saw this after visiting a house where a person died recently, i dont know if its like a sign or what... (dont laugh at me tho.) )

Found at my late grandfather's home, who was a neurologist. It looks like an antenna, but you can't screw it onto something.

EDIT: The jizz and booger jokes are useless and unfunny btw 🥰🥰🥰it is neither of these things, and quite clearly coming from above the paint, as there are tears in it.

My sibling noticed these on my bedroom ceiling last night. I have no idea how long they've been there, or what could have caused them. They are very very small, there are about 8 of the stringy things and just one of the slimy thing in a different spot.

Trying to Google anything or use image searches has yielded nothing that looks quite like this.

I went to the shops and came across these pumpkins, why are they like this?

Saw this on one of those little carousels outside a supermarket. Can’t for the life of me figure out what’s going on with it lol. Elephant dressed as a duck?

Cleaning out a relatives house and found this kitchen device. It’s like a pair of tongs but with this flat part? There is an etching of a chicken so something with eggs? Googled a description, but nothing popped up. Thanks!

Purchased this crab about 20yr ago would love to know more about it. I have tried researching but can't seem to find an exact replica.

It weighs 2.6kg it measures across the shell 13.75cm and from paddle to claw is 21.5cm.

The eyes are blue maybe sapphire?

The inscription reads (hopefully)

V.Valllipurem & son

Engombo

Ceylon

Any help would be much appreciated
