You know when you stumble upon something in your attic and you have absolutely no idea what it is? Well, apparently there is a subreddit for that, and people routinely post pictures of stuff they've found for others to identify.
You'd be surprised what some of these objects turn out to be. Isn't it exciting to find out what this stuff really is?

Aren't kitchen gadgets weird? Like what is this thing? Reddit folks explained that this is a corer for corn-on-the-cob. Wowza!
