<\/p>\nSherlock Holmes may be the greatest fictional detective ever created, but even he would trouble in today\u2019s generation. Moreover, how can one match the collective knowledge of the millions on the Internet? As such, whenever people encounter objects that leave them puzzled, they turn to the subreddit \u201cWhat is this Thing?\u201d. Here are 15+ mysterious things that had interesting answers from the forum:<\/p>\n
1. Delicate Whisk<\/p>\n

Delicate wooden whisk-type thing that fits into a small vase item with openings on both ends. What is it? I\u2019m so curious!
\nAnswer (by u\/kipjanny): It\u2019s a matcha whisk and whisk holder.<\/p>\n

Found these when clearing out my dad\u2019s wardrobe. Any idea what you\u2019d hang on them?
\nAnswer (by u\/kultakala): They\u2019re either for hanging shoes (let\u2019s say you have very dressy shoes and you don\u2019t want them getting crushed \u2013 you stick the rounded bit inside the shoe, so the sole is facing you), or for hanging already-tied neckties, so you can just slip it over your head and adjust it, rather than re-tying it, each time.<\/p>\n

Bought at a thrift store. Thought it was a bar spoon but I\u2019m not certain. Length is around 15-18 cm.
\nAnswer (by u\/adube1320): Ice cream spoons.<\/p>\n

Just bought a house and this weird triangle holder thingy is by my kitchen sink. What is it?
\nAnswer (by u\/incrediblyjoe and u\/Professor_zombiekill): Dish towel holder. Take the corner of your dishtowel and put it into the back of the triangle, then pull downwards on the towel and it is held in place.<\/p>\n
5. Concerning Ceiling Formations<\/p>\n

What is this stuff growing out of the nail holes in my ceiling?
\nAnswer (by u\/clearliquidclearjar): That\u2019s termite frass. You\u2019ve got bad termites and you\u2019ll want to deal with it ASAP.<\/p>\n
6. Display Stand<\/p>\n

I found it while cleaning out an old cedar closet. Had a bendy spring in the middle. Looks like it hangs on a door.
\nAnswer (by u\/angeliqu): I think it\u2019s a vintage hat display stand. If you google it, there are a lot that have the springy bit and the pull cord (which probably lets you pull the hat down and to the sides to examine it rather than touching the hat itself). Yours seems to be held by sliding onto a table edge rather than sitting on the table itself. So you\u2019re holding it sideways.<\/p>\n
