View more comments Previously, Bored Panda spoke with one of the subreddit's moderators, who explained why people, in their opinion, become amateur detectives online and are willing to help confused people identify and solve these weird object puzzles. "Many [people] have unique and obscure knowledge and they like to use it. Get enough of them together and they cover most things," the moderator told Bored Panda. Other than that, it may have to do with showing off their great research skills, and the thrill of solving the purpose of objects that look completely out of this world. #4

View more comments The 1.5 million members-turned-detectives in the subreddit community are really incredibly skilled in explaining objects. "A majority of things are solved within 15 minutes of posting," the moderator said and added that under 10 percent of 'cases' don't get solved on the subreddit. Some people on the subreddit are also involved in a more serious project called Trace an Object that searches for objects posted by Europol that are linked to child abuse cases. "We've had some luck in identifying some things, but there's more yet unsolved and more to come as Europol does release some new information every few months," the moderator told us about putting their great skills to use. #7

This Is A On Gate Blocking Road Access To Some Cell Towers Why So Many Locks And How Would Someone Even Open It
Answer: 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.FactorialANOVA Report Final score: 278points POST Something Something Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Alternatively, you can use a chain of padlocks. 40 40points reply View More Replies...

This Structure I Found While Walking In The Woods The Metal Bit Is About 2 Feet Wide And Looks Like It Could Uncomfortably Fit A Person In It My Guesses Are A Well Sewer Or Time Capsule For Context I Live In Eastern Massachusetts We Plan On Going Back To Open It
Answer: Definitely a man hole. Do not open it. DEFINITELY DO NOT GO IN IT! Manholes are notoriously deadly because they contain low oxygen percentages and high concentrations of poisonous gases such as hydrogen sulfide and methane. First responders usually find two dead people in manholes - the first one that went in and succumbed and their friend who watched them pass out and rushes in to help.Darkstalkker Report Final score: 232points POST Konpat Konpat Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago But...

"A majority of things are solved within 15 minutes of posting," the moderator said and added that under 10 percent of 'cases' don't get solved on the subreddit. Some people on the subreddit are also involved in a more serious project called Trace an Object that searches for objects posted by Europol that are linked to child abuse cases. "We've had some luck in identifying some things, but there's more yet unsolved and more to come as Europol does release some new information every few months," the moderator told us about putting their great skills to use. #7

An Excessive Amount Of Chimneys Various Vents On A House In Castile De Leon Spain
Answer: Those are air ducts and the the flue for gas central heating. A third one is almost certainly for the garage. That building is subdivided into at least 2 apartments. Could be three. Our apartment has one for each for each vertical block of apartments. As in a flue duct and an air duct. You need a separate duct for the garage area as well it can't be on the same one. You can see the dividing line in the tiles here as well so one side was probably built a while after the other and so they couldn't share the center ducting or the garage.
