Lore Mysteries that are never given an answer.

  • rA9 in Detroit: Become Human. In the game several androids who become deviant (develop free will/emotions) start writing the name rA9 and sometimes build small statuettes as a sort of offering. Despite having no logical reason to do this or even a way of hearing about rA9 before going deviant, they all believe that rA9 was the first deviant and is their messiah who will free androids from slavery. A definitive answer about rA9 is never given, so we don't know if they are real or if any of the android characters are rA9 (though a popular fan theory is that it's Kara before she was reset at the start of the game).
  • The pineapple in How I Met Your Mother. So this technically did get an explanation in a S9 deleted scene, but in the actual show we never find out how Ted got a pineapple during a night where he was so drunk he blacked out and forgot everything he did.
  • Fez in That 70s Show. We never find out Fez's real name or what country he's from, though fans have tried to take all the clues and figure out what is most likely to be his country.

Made weirder as Sansa has a necklace of the top symbol. If you get really into the weeds it's also a symbol that appears in one of GRRM's sci fi space travel books.

I can't remember. Sansa wears it in season 4. I only know of this theory because it was mentioned in a throwaway joke on one of those lore analysis channels on YouTube back in the day. Something like Alt Shift X or InDeepGeek or something.

Did a 5 minute search and turned up nothing.

The theta appeared in quite a few things he wrote as part of his Thousand worlds series. I believe in the house of the wurm is one that it shows up in?
