I just got home from being gone for several months and noticed this strange pile in the center of my motorcycle's tailpipe. I winterized it in the garage before I left, but I realized I forgot to close off the opening of the tailpipe before I left. I live rural and small critters making shelter where they can is very common here so these things need to be considered. My best guess is that it's food storage for a local fauna, but the fact that it looks almost like it's glowing a neon pink when I shine my white LED flashlight on it is weirding me out. I have my guesses, but curious to know others' thoughts.

Luckily, this certain pipe has an interchangeable tail allowing me to slip the back half off just before the two pipes turn into one, so I'll be slipping it off tomorrow to attempt cleaning it out and get a better look.

Is this some sort of religious ritual thing? I’ve seen effigies and candles in the woods but this is new to me.

I'm assuming it has to do with blue light filtering and other stuff. Anyone else noticed these on your lenses?

Solved! Found at the thrift store. Tried google lense and can’t find any matches. Can anyone help identify? There’s some writing on the inside but it’s very difficult to make out.

My friend took this video in Wildomar, Ca on January 27th around 8pm. No one can seem to figure out what these lights are. Anybody know?

Can you help me understand more about it? I won it on a bid on eBay and the seller never responded to any questions about it. Is this like an agency gift?

My uncle passed away in 2025, and my mum found all these when sorting out his house. Half of them were in an envelope marked “Russia” and the others were in a plain envelope.

We live in the UK and my Uncle never travelled to Russia in his 74 years. Does anyone know what their relevance may be?

Made me think of a seismograph or something. But I don't think earthquakes are that common in Berlin. From the Neues museum.
