As much as we all love to be beacons of knowledge for those around us, there's nothing wrong with admitting that you don't know something and need some help.
When these people couldn't identify items they'd found or saw, they came to the internet for assistance, leaving us with some curious facts so we can learn a little ourselves!
Ah, a good old mysterious package story. Nothing nefarious though, the poster chalked it up to some sort of eBay mixup seeing as these are the rattles put inside fishing lures, something they never ordered.
If you thought 'some sort of axe', you're almost right. The user came back to their post to say they'd been told it was a sugar cane knife, but one that'd been repurposed out of old metal, thus the unusual shape for such a tool.
In one of the most hyper-specific answers I've ever seen on one of these, this is called an 'in line nipple pick', meant for cleaning out a breech plug in a black powder muzzleloader, which is a type of gun.
In a very cool answer, this is a camera! Specifically the Polaroid SX70.
Less of an item itself and more of an unused bunch of items, this is a set of locker numbers from an old metal company that never got stamped into products.
Finding something unexpected in your food is never a good time, but this one's even worse because it looks pretty nasty. Nothing dangerous though, it's actually a tuna egg sack. Completely safe and edible, but I wouldn't blame you if you'd rather toss it.
A phenomenon with a very cool name, this is called a Glory. It's caused by light interacting with water droplets in clouds in a very specific manner, casting a ring of light.
Though I don't blame this user for thinking this, but the shape of the roof has no special meaning. This is a standard thatch hut, with the roof being so pointy as to accommodate the center pole that supports it.
This small piece is part of a breathalyzer, missing the larger bag attachment that one would actually inflate. What it was doing in a university rec room, no one knows.
This photo specifically makes it look like some sort of alien craft touched down, but it's far less nefarious. This is just a silo. Some of these pop-up ones are used for grain, some for wood pellets, but sometimes it's for storage in large construction projects and the like.
One reason this might have been so hard to identify is that it isn't a full item itself. It's an insert for an antique vegetable slicer, likely made for mashing.
It is a house! Sort of. It's a fairy house, miniature versions of houses made for decoration and whimsy.
Fitting to the chicken design, these are egg scissors, made for slicing boiled eggs!
This is called an 'Invalid's Cup', which was a cup designed for the weak and sick to use when they couldn't properly feed themself. Put a liquid in the cup, hold the handle, and drink from the spout without it spilling. Like a sippy cup for the ill.
They're right in that it's for hanging something specific, it's for storing storm windows and screens in the offseason!
Initially strange looking, it was deduced that this must have been a gift from whoever sent their bag back, as it's snow fungus, a type of fungus you can make soup with!
This isn't so much the sunset being cut as it is one very large specific sunbeam. This particular phenomenon is called a Crepuscular Ray!
That's because they're not supposed to fit into trainers of any kind. These are replacement bits for the bottom of the heel on a high-heeled boot which must have accidentally been put in the wrong box.
These are cake decorating tools! You fit them in a longer plastic holder to drag around the outside of the cake to make a pattern, like this!
Not a chair, something far more interesting. Someone in the comments pointed out that it looks like a Backstaff, which was a navigational tool used even before the sextant! And yes, it was widely suggested they take it to a museum.
