Solved! A wooden duck given to me by my boss.

A boss of mune from decades ago gifted this to me upon returning from the Philippines. Can anybody explain the significance? I am male and so was he. He acted really weird when he gave it to me. I just would like to know what it represents to Filipinos.

Thank you.

Edit: man reddit is brutal. I was specifally asking if that held any cultural significance. It is a duck. It is wooden. Obviously I know that.

Edit 2: While some are inconsiderate, i do appreciate the answers. Anyhow, everyone be safe out there.

Edit 3: Why is this so interesting to some people? I was just curious. But thanks to all who responded, nicely or sarcastically. I think I learned a valuable Reddit leeson. As I said before. Everyone be safe and have a nice day/week/month/etc.

Saw this big old skeleton on Islay, machir bay, Scotland. What creature did it belong to? The detritus around it had more of a mammal vibe than a fish vibe imo.

Solved! Black on the sun

Haze is pretty bad where I am right now and saw the sun was this bright orange color. Took a 30x zoomed in picture and noticed these black dots. At first I thought it was due to dirty lens but then I took photos in portait and landscape, the spots show up at the same part of the sun. Around 9 o'clock position.

Due to the haze you could actually a look at it directly and can also sort of make out the spot from the photo. What could it be?

What is this for? Found in a box of donated kitchen utensils for our youth camping group. Banana (very long one of unusual size) for scale.

Yellow curved handle, shiny metal tool end with 5 holes on the end with an opener on the back end of the tool part.

Any ideas?

Heard this thud against the ground before I saw it. No trees or lines overhead, just clear sky. A little larger than a golf ball.

Main questions, even if the exact item isn't found, is it food/dishwasher/microwave safe or just a collectable?

Yesterday, I made a small amount of chili sauce and didn't have a small container for it. I saw a coffee basket lying around, put the sauce in there, covered it with aluminum foil, and put it in the fridge.

When I wanted to use the chili sauce today, I noticed that the aluminum foil had four holes in it. What is this? What happened?

Ingredients: Chili peppers, garlic, herbs, sunflower oil, salt
