What is this little ramp thingy on the bottom of a lotion bottle?” nohurrie32  replied: “It’s for the manufacturing of the product so that it can be turned while standing up.”

An odd little desk?

“What is this thing? The inside opens up to empty space, it’s disconnected from the desk below.”

Reddit user crunchsmash said: “It’s a bed/lap desk. There’s supposed to be a metal bar underneath that slots into the wooden tray, so you can prop it up at different angles for reading and stuff”

A strange wall decoration

Located in bathroom by shower.”Luckily, Reddit user Happy_Cranker had the answer: “This is either a soap dish holder or toothbrush holder, but it’s missing the middle part that held the ring. Does that make any sense in the context of where it is located in the bathroom? Could have been a holder for a hand towel as well. I remember seeing these in houses from the 60’s and 70’s.”

What is this?” It definitely tops the list of odd things we’ve seen.

My clothes pegs are all individually numbered. Why is that?” Reddit user  3-cent-nickel knew why: “Different molds have different numbers so if they start coming out of the machine messed up, they can identify which mold needs replacing.“
