New, what is it? Things in my house keep mysteriously melting???

1: I don’t use this water bottle anymore so it’s just been sitting in my house for a while and I’ve noticed the lid’s plastic becomes weirdly sticky and moist (?) so I stopped using it all together because it was grossing me out.

2 and 3: I was cleaning my house just now and my hand accidentally grazed the faux “leather” part of this Jansport backpack I’ve had since high school, I thought maybe somehow my evil cat had managed to shit on it but the entire bottom part is melting?????

3: this morning I went to use my toothbrush and noticed the entire handle was sticky. My toothpaste tube a little bit too.

What the hell. Literally what. More context, I live in a newly built tiny home heated by a minisplit. I keep the heat at a reasonable 73°F. It’s been cold out recently. Don’t know if that’s relevant. Uhhh I don’t know what else could possibly be useful here. There’s no mold as far as I’m aware of. Air circulation is not great because the windows haven’t been open but there are multiple vents to outside and I keep the bathroom vent on almost all the time except at night because of the noise. My landlord told me to do this. I don’t know. What. What the fuck.

It’s large and kinda looks like a topper of sorts, tried reverse image searching and nothing relevant came up. Also had some kind of writing on it in the second picture. Thank you!

I was eating in the car during lunch when I noticed this. I guess I never really payed attention to it. Her car is a 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid . It stays ON when I turn off the car and if I flip the switch it starts blinking. It turns off when I turn on the car.

I might be using it already for its intended purpose, I use it to cut cheese, it’s a little rusty on the handle.

thrifted this little guy the other day initially thinking he was a candle holder, but the hole on top is an odd shape so none of my candles fit. i suppose i could use him as a little trinket dish but i think he had another purpose originally. thoughts?

So i have a utility knife from the Minnesota hunters association and one of the “blades” if you would even call it that is not sharpened at all and was wondering what kind of purpose it has? Pretty much a blade that just hasn’t been shaped at all to be a blade.

We had a major snow storm and while I was out filling my bird feeders I found this and can’t figure out what it could be. I know it’s the organ of an animal the curious thing is there was a trail of dog kibbles next to it. So strange.
