What is this thing 11

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！

白色的大脑

Q: Found this on the side of the road in my neighborhood. Thought it was a brain, then dissected it and now I have no idea. Lots of small lobes, fuzzy inside, rubbery? My shoe for size reference.

在我家附近的路边发现了这个。我以为它是一个大脑，然后解剖了它，现在我不知道了。有很多小叶子，里面是模糊的，是橡胶的？我的鞋子是用来参考尺寸的。

A: Is that a shit?!

那是坨屎吗？

Q: Solved. I’m an idiot who dissected dog poop

（题主）：解决了。我是一个解剖狗屎的白痴。

好多锁

Q: This is a on gate blocking road access to some cell towers. Why so many locks, and how would someone even open it?

这是一扇大门，挡住了通往一些手机塔的道路。为什么有这么多的锁，他们该怎么打开它？

Q: You can open the gate by unlocking only one padlock. The way it’s designed means that multiple people can use the gate, and if one person loses their keys, only their padlock needs replaced. As opposed to one padlock with many keys, you’d need to give tons of people the new key.

你只需解开一个挂锁就可以打开大门。它的设计方式意味着多人可以使用这扇门，如果一个人丢了钥匙，只有他的挂锁需要更换。相对于一个挂锁有很多钥匙，你需要给所有人新的钥匙。

马其顿的亚历山大三世

Q: Im waiting for the bank to open and they have this card facing the street. What is it used for?

我在等待银行开门，他们把这张卡面向街道。它是用来做什么的？

A: Former bank employee here. It’s definitely a safety signal. We switched ours quarterly and it is to let other employees know that it is all clear to open. Typically we had 2 employees “open” the branch while the rest waited in the parking lot or across the street for “all clear.” The openers go in, turn off alarm, search the building and check everything then set the signal.

我是前银行雇员。这绝对是一个安全信号。我们每季度更换一次信号，是为了让其他员工知道可以开门了。通常情况下，我们有两名员工”打开“分行，而其他员工在停车场或街对面等待“一切正常”。开门人进去，关闭警报，搜索大楼并检查一切，然后设置信号。

水龙头

Q: Found this in my bathroom in Germany…

在我德国的浴室里发现了这个……

A: It looks like they are meters that show how much hot and cold water has been used. I don’t know why your meter it that way.

看起来它们是显示已使用多少热水和冷水的仪表,我不知道为什么你的水表是这样的。

小水槽

Q: WITT? An unusually shaped sink possibly in a corridoor, spotted in a property listing on an older house. Looks quite narrow, probably too small for washing boots.

这是个嘛？在一栋老房子的房产清单中，发现了一个可能位于走廊的形状异常的水槽。看起来很窄，对于洗靴子来说可能太小了。

A: It’s called a butlers sink, or cleaners sink. It’s used for cleaning, filling buckets, emptying out waste so housekeeping can wash down surfaces without wandering through the house.

它被称为管家水槽，或清洁工水槽。它用于清洁，装水桶，倒掉废物，这样家政人员就可以清理外部，而不用在房子里乱转。
