What is this thing 是 reddit 上的一个社区(community),上面时不时会有人发一些没见过的玩意来提问。
一起来看看吧!
奇怪的笔记
Q: my grandpa recently passed away and we found these weird notes in a random briefcase, there’s heaps more pages that look the same too, any clue what it is??
我的爷爷前不久去世了,我们在一个杂乱的公文包里发现了这些奇怪的笔记,有非常多页而且看起来都差不多,有人能告诉我这是什么么?
A: It definitely looks like he’s keeping score for 2 players. And the goal of the game is to stay under 100. Which player 1 does 17 times, and player 2 does 14 times.
看起来他是在为两位玩家计分,并且这个游戏的要求是得分需要在 100 分以下,玩家一做到了 17 次,玩家二做到了 14 次。
吊坠
Q: Found in a creek bed in Oak Hill, Texas. Has a small hole on top of the head that goes all the way through.
在德克萨斯州橡树山的一个河床中找到的,头顶有一个贯穿的小孔。
A: “Seems to be a pendant head from the Caddo tribe. Looks legit and definitely pre-columbian. There’s an oak hill Caddo site near there. Could be an import as well but unlikely.” -My Archeologist Father
我的考古学家老爹说:「似乎是是来自卡多部落的吊坠,看起来是真的并且是前哥伦布时期。橡树山附近有卡多遗址,也可能是进口,但是可能性不大。」
发声的杯子
Q: Found in Freiburg, Germany. False bottom with this chip and sensor inside. Balls’ in your court…
在德国弗莱堡发现的,假的杯底里面有着芯片和传感器,看你的了。
A: it is probably a mug that made sounds when filled with liquid, I only assume so due to a kid friendly design on the side of the mug.
这个大概是一个当里面倒满水后会发出声音的马克杯,我这样猜只是因为马克杯身上有着儿童喜欢的卡通图案。
声波技术
Q: The only words on the case are 「sonic technology」
上面唯一能看到的字是「声波技术」。
A: Bug repeller.
Edit- scratch that. It’s a Sonic Technologies ultrasonic rodent repeller. Just an old one.
驱虫器,一种使用超声波技术的驱鼠器,只是很旧了。
电话
Q: Found at an antique store. WITT?
在一个古董店里找到的,这是个嘛?
A: It’s an NCR stamping phone / charge phone. Was used for automated credit approval in department stores.
这是一个 NCR 牌的冲压/收费电话,曾经用于百货公司自动信贷审批。
拆弹小组
Q: Bomb squad called in to examine a possible “antique missile” found at a construction site down the road. Any chance that’s really what this is?
拆弹小组被叫来检查这个在路边某个建筑工地上发现的「古董炸弹」,这是真的吗?
A: 105mm tank round, no Fuze on it.
105 毫米坦克炮弹,没有引信。
小屋
Q: Found next to a cliff in the UK, has chains in it. Any ideas what this thing is?
在英国的一个悬崖边发现的,上面有铁链,知道这是什么吗?
A: Is this near the railway line? then it could be a line workers hut, used to store equipment and bits and pieces. With the casualisation of the workforce these huts have gone out of use.
它是不是很靠近铁路线?它可能是一个铁路线工人小屋,用于存放一些设备和零碎的东西,由于劳动力临时化,这些小屋已经不再被使用了。
