Recently, there have been lots of posts from users who’ve discovered strange items and are trying to figure out what they are. This is where the subreddit r/whatisthisthing comes in. As the name suggests, users post pictures and ask each other, “What is this thing?” Given the diversity of people on this social media platform, users are often able to immediately identify what those things are. We’ve created a list of weird things that found their purpose via social media.
1. An Indian arrowhead
If you are a history of science fiction buff, you dream about being involved in your own war against some mystical ancient force. How would you feel if you discovered an authentic historical arrowhead?
We can’t even imagine just how excited this person must have been when they found out that they had stumbled upon the Hopewell Indian culture arrow, dating about 2000 years ago. For those who do not know, the Hopewell tradition is a native American culture found predominantly in the north-eastern and mid-western eastern Woodlands, during the middle woodland era.
