Times Users Cracked The Meaning of Mysterious Objects - r/whatisthisthing

The items on the highway dividers at 7:18 are to block the headlights from on-coming traffic on temporary dividers use during construction. Permanent dividers are higher and are not needed unless circumstance require them. Too low for sun blocking.

Hoping they didn’t invite the in-laws around for hi tea with their kettle 😂

3:30 Yes. Eye drops prescription medication. DO NOT use them. Best thing to do is to return them to your local pharmacy for safe disposal. 5:30 Egg separator. Break an egg in it, tilt so that the white flows thru the slot and the yolk stays in.

People on these things scare me. They just pick up and handle stuff they have no idea what they are. Yikes

The white on brick work in the UK is saltpeter, it leaches from the cement / sand mix through the bricks . It's only found in new builds and goes within a year or so depending on the weather.

8:42 nowadays it's called a urinal, now they come in plastic with lids to put on them so nothing spills out. My brother-in-law is bedridden and he has like two or three of them and he uses them to pee in.

The object at 08.35 is known in Italy as "pappagallo" (parrot), and is used to allow men to urinate while standing in bed. The "padella" has the dame purpose, but for women, and for both for shitting.

3:30 the yellow liquid in plastic ampoules actually looks more like nebuliser liquids, than eye drops, in either case, they should have the drug name, batch, expiry date, embossed somewhere on them, usually in clear plastic on a clear plastic background, which is incredibly annoying as the embossing may be vary, and impossible to read - and I MUST read it before administering any of the contents to a patient, even if it is poor light and totally invisible! PS : I think they have gone off on exposure to light.

I like the salt and pepper pinch pot! I'll be haunting the thrift stores now, looking for one. 😏👍🏽

3:17 also looks like medication for use in a nebuliser, you inhale the medication when air is pumped through it into a face mask. I have used nebuliser delivery for copd medications.

[@ginamartinez1654]

I was thinking the same. My husband uses them. He has copd

2:13 almost looks like an earthquake bolt they are pretty common around the Charleston SC area

8:44 Love the 'kettle' we have dozens of these in Britain, enamel (looks like in video), but also metal, ceramic, plastic (most modern ones), and they are male urinals for use in bed. They make female ones too, slightly different shaped spout. Some have handles on top of the body, or of the spout, or a larger lip to the spout; and some have a flat area on the end farthest from the spout so they can be stood on end. You can also get disposable/dispersible ones which are only waterproof for a hort period of time, and can be put into a 'bed pan masher' for disposal. Has anyone got a bed pan masher? Looks like a full size-plus top-loading washing machine with extra-big plumbing.

[@davidchurch3472]

disposable ones are made of remoulded paper/cardboard.

👍😺👍Whoo-hoo!!! I got 15 correct!?! 🙉 🎉😁🎊😃🎉 (That's if we're counting "really close, may also be" guesses like flea drops for eye drops.) It must be bc I AM SOOOO OLD!!! 😉👍 😹🤣😹

11:34 You forgot some ingredient from the batter, probably something blue. ED is a bummer.😂
