From time to time, people stumble upon something unfamiliar, leaving them scratching their heads and wondering what they are. These eight objects found their way to the internet when those who discovered them decided they needed the help of the public to identify them.
Once in a while, social media users post images of items that others have never seen before. Some of these objects boggle the mind with questions of what they are and what they are used for.
A 6-Centimeter Wonder
In November 2023, Reddit user dampenedhorizon uploaded three different images showing a six-centimeter-long metal object discovered in a kitchen drawer. The user said the “actuated metal part on the end is free-swinging, not spring loaded,” but the pointed part toward the end is spring loaded.

The Answer: The metal object is part of a jar opener, also known in Amazon as a Swing-A-Way Comfort Grip Opener.
