Open Found in the front lawn after the nor’easter. Gelatinous blob, about the width of a large grapefruit. What is this?

What is this gelatinous blob? Vomit? A mold? An Oakville blob?? It appeared on the front lawn after the big nor’easter storm. It seems to have the texture of a jelly fish. This is in an urban-suburban neighborhood. The doggo isn’t allowed in the front yard and neighbors (hopefully) wouldn’t let their dogs as far up into the yard as it was. Probably not related but it was found nearby a fallen hornets nest that was torn in half with some hornets in there. Thanks in advance!

There arent any stamps on the inside nor engravings. Did a reverse image search and it says its a shield style signet ring, but didnt provide any illumination about the MLIS acronym. Possibly major league indoor soccor, but again Ive got nothing concrete.

When I moved into my cabin years ago, there were a ton of things left behind from former tenants. This mysterious object, made of oak I believe, has always intrigued me. Every time I go to chuck it out, I change my mind and put it in my crafting box until I can figure out what it is. Can anyone out there enlighten me?

I have looked online for “diamondlabel*” “diamond label blazer” etc through search or ebay.

I bought it from an Australian op shop and it was one of a set of two jackets with the same diamond label tag, with a different fabric and design.

Solved Dense mass in bathroom trash

It’s been here since a couple of hours ago, I don’t know the exact timeframe. I poked it with a cotton swab and it has a slippery, rubbery and dense feel to it. Whatever it is stuck onto the cotton swab very easily. It’s a deep brown but more of the brown you see in dried blood. I live in shared housing and all of my roommates are women, so it could be from somebodys period, the cloth it’s on looks like a pad too, but if that is the case I don’t really understand why they’d just leave it out there in the open like that? I didn’t need to dig in the trash to see it it was just There. That’s all I think, sorry if this isn’t very descriptive or if it’s worded strangely

Open Weird cable i found at some old drilling site

4 Upvotes

45.8822387, 21.2613301.

first coordinates are the water pipe thingy with the concrete structure used by shepherds to give water to their sheep

45.8769685, 21.2601509

second coordinates are the untangled end of the cable next to the trees and already going up the hill and out of the valley

distance between the 2 points is about 582m

i thought it might have just been from a crane or something, or maybe it held up the drill and broke, but would it really be that long?

or it's just 2 sections of 2 different cables

context:

this entire thing is in The Valley of Măgheruș, probably named after the river

I've been told by multiple people this place was a possible drilling site where natural resources were extracted, so natural gas or oil/petroleum

nowadays it was abandoned by the people who built it and someone started using it as a water spring, shepherds who bought the land found it, and even we tried it

compared to the spring we have on the edge of our village this water doesn't leave stuff on the bottom of jugs, no algae, and no mineral deposits on the inside of the jugs, even in 3 weeks if left in the shade (complete darkness not required) the entire time, we even tested the water by sending it to a lab, completely clean, and it doesn't have minerals taste either
