• I have four big black bins in my closet, full of… adult stuff I think those would definitely qualify. Maybe the foxtails, or my hot pink bunny mask, I’ve got a bunch of weird costumes that would raise eyebrows

    • I don’t think anyone in my family is ready to confront the reality of a knotted dragon dick, but my friends have all seen Chance before!

      I have a family member who has walked in on tail things, but even that family member would not be prepared for the sheer quantity of tails…

  • I’m the guy in the office people come to when they need something. Ibuprofen? Got it. Superglue? Got it. Change for the vending machine? Yup. I keep the change in an envelope I’ve labeled “petty cash”. Inside that envelope , I have a smaller envelope that I’ve labeled “mad money”. I have about $27 worth of Monopoly money in that one.

  • Probably curious about why I, an atheist, have the Book of Mormon, the Catholic Apocrypha, the Books of Enoch, the Quran, and the standard Bible along with my collection of books on energy healing and astrology.

    • Those books all together in one place would tell me you’re probably an atheist without even knowing you

    • If an atheist didnt have these I’d consider them a contrarian rather than an atheist. Maybe agnostic but not an atheist, atheists have made an informed decision which you can’t do without being informed.

      • I don’t have to read fairy tales to refute that they were real events that actually happened. I would tend to agree with your overall sentiment, but if someone was raised non-religious, had to take history classes, and had a light exposure to different mythological frameworks, I would not say that they are uninformed if they claim to be atheist. I dont have to do a deep dive on Christmas lore to come to the conclusion that Santa is not real.

    • Even the oldest stories carry something… After reading enough of them though they are totally retelling of the same stuff (at least most of the ones I’ve perused have been).

  • Honestly, my network and server.

    I am self learned so i often come up with my own creative solutions instead of knowing about a common standard. I can’t imagine anyone but me could maintain it.

    In a previous iteration of my server i bent over backwards to make sure /home did not contain any user folders and instead only the mount points to numerous drives. Why? Inexplicably even if you do consider autism.

    • What the fuck. That’s hilarious. My first thought for this questions was ‘sex toys’ too, but those are easy to explain. I also have a dildo lamp, but I got that from my sister, so also very easy to explain.

      My tech stuff is likely going to be the least explainable, but because it’s eBay scrap parts hardware, not because I changed /home to a mounting folder though. That’s crazy.

  • I have a ton of unique 3d printed firearms. They are legal for me to make and own where I live, but I can’t legally sell them or give them away so they have just accumulated over the years haha

  • The massive horse dildo may be a bit of an head scratcher, though knowing me - maybe not that surprising thing to find.

    • 2 days

      I can’t imagine using my own massive horse dildo to scratch my own head. My arms aren’t long enough!

  • In my desk drawer is a small, plastic black box. Emerging from its surface is a toggle switch, some lights and wires that end in alligator clips. There is no writing at all, inside or out, It starts blinking lights and making an ominous buzzing sound if you let the wires touch each other while it’s turned on. I built it myself, and you’ve got no hope of figuring out what it’s for if you don’t know already.

    spoiler

    It’s a test light for setting the external ignition timing on airplane engines, to make sure both spark plugs in each cylinder fire at the same time. I doubt even most aircraft mechanics would recognize it because it doesn’t look like a “real” one.

  • Weirdest for sure would be the contents of my journals. For a while during and after the pandemic I wrote a lot of entries very altered and I’ve also written a lot of entries at the top of some pretty spectacular manic episodes and the bottom of some very dark holes. I can’t read them myself because they make me seem quite insane.

    Most unexplainable would be a 50 alliance credit note from the Firefly/Serenity universe. They were produced by a gaggle of nerds and exact down to the paper, which is a semi-transparent nylon blend. I was given 300 credits in mixed bills as a joke from someone I had a one night stand with as payment for services rendered, but I’ve given them out to various fans of the show I’ve met over the 20 or so years they’ve been in my possession. If you weren’t a mega fan of the show though, they would look like money from some obscure Asian country.

    • An antique magic wand made of carved oak and opals, I keep locked in an antique wooden case in the top / back of my closet. The entire reason I keep it there like that, is so that when I die, someone will find it.

      • Dang, I need to do this and then tap into my Codex Seraphinianus for some sigils to carve on the box.

  • A military medal that was awarded to me.

    I have never been a member of any nation’s armed forces.

      • Good stuff. I really think It’s a genuine honour to be an outsider whose actions are recognised and applauded by insiders. It’s basically professionals looking at beginners and saying: good job, well done. It warms my little cockles.

      • I have a “challenge coin” someone made for an online community I’m a part of

  • I have a plushie Yoshi amiibo from Yoshi’s Woolly World, and I’ve stuck every whisker I’ve found from my cats into its head, so now it looks like one of those troll dolls.

  • Nice try, CIA guy, how about you come on down and see it for yourself if you really must know.

  • I have a collection of Quack medical devices from the early 1900s. Some of them are used now as electrostatic sex toys.

  • My family probably wouldn’t be surprised about anything I own. They know the kind of guy I am.

    A stranger might be a bit concerned about a certain wooden chest in my dining room. Large enough to fit an adult man (yes, we tried) but filled to the brim with swords, axes, pieces of armor and a 3 foot wooden spoon.

    Edit: second place to a glittery pink princess themed friendship book filled with entries from adult millennials who like retro games, horror movies and metal.

  • Remember that one really dark hentai that became a meme, “Emergence” or “Metamorphosis?”

    I got the bright idea to get a paperback copy of it and now it’s just waiting for some catastrophe to unearth it from its hiding place, like a time capsule of bad decisions
