I found this on a bed in a hotel Open
Can someone pls help me! I found this on the bed of a hotel room and I’ve been searching on google what it could be but nothing is coming up. It reminded me of a cat’s tongue, but there are no cats here. It’s hard like a bone.

Possibly part of a cooked (fried maybe) fish bone. I've seen similar but not identical.

Is it rubbery? It looks rubbery to me but it's hard to tell.

If you’re near the beach, probably a piece of shell

u/ElectronicTax7138 6d ago
I thought it was a shell or a piece of coral too, but I’m nowhere near the beach.

u/AngelProjekt 6d ago
Being a hotel, it doesn’t have to be near a beach - the previous guest’s suitcase may have been to one!

Looks like a piece of the spiky parts of a cow’s cheek/lip area, but dehydrated. That cartilaginous part would be really stiff when it was dry.

u/ElectronicTax7138 the hotel dog friendly? Might be part of a treat/bone like those dehydrated ones from animal parts.

That’s what it looks like to me. A piece of dried chicken jerky/chew thing that I give my dog.

Dried out fly eggs?

I thought it was this too or even eggs from another insect. But fly eggs are a bit rounder at the ends and these are sharper, spikier.

Whatever it is I bet it come off a human, like a gnarly callous or something. Aids?

You're getting downvoted but I've definitely seen chunks of callous slough off after a shower and get very hard and nasty like this. Not the same shape I don't think but it wouldn't surprise me.

Ok, but you're missing the point of the downvotes... Which makes me wonder if you don't know how AIDS works aswell...

u/Tootsgaloots 4d ago
Well you're right I don't know how AIDS works. I've been fortunate enough to not have it nor know anyone who has it (to my knowledge). But I wasn't agreeing with the AIDS bit anyway.

Looks like callouses. Like they trimmed the toe with nail clippers and cut it in such a way to make the pattern.

Dried rice from someone’s takeout. They didn’t change the sheets.

How the heck does this have 13 upvotes??
Have you guys never seen rice before in your life, or are you scrolling the Internet without your glasses again?

u/riotousviscera 6d ago
i am scrolling the internet without my glasses and can tell that’s not rice lmao

It’s not rice, dried rice would have flaky outer layers, almost looking like a damaged hair under microscope. Those teeth are in perfectly parallel rows. It looks like fish teeth to me

It looks like a chunk of dried rice to me. Maybe an old guest has dinner in bed, dropped a bit and the cleaning service wasn’t that great?

u/LadyInCrimson 6d ago
Maybe it's part of a brush?

u/SheilaGirl70 6d ago
That’s what I thought too, but OP says it’s not rubbery. A hairbrush would be a bit rubbery / flexible. But I could be wrong.

OP, does it come apart if you put pressure on it? Like, are we seeing all those spikes stacked together?

u/ElectronicTax7138 5d ago
I haven’t tried putting pressure on it since it’s seems brittle. But the spikes are fused together in some way

I used to work in an adult novelty shop...if you catch my drift. I believe it is part of a latex ring you would use to keep blood in a certain member, the "spikes" are intended for "her pleasure". That would be my best guess, I'll drop a pic of the item unused if you need further explanation.

Probably a piece of sex toy that broke off and got ran through the industrial drier and hardened up

I'd say some leftover rice, but it is all going in one direction. Someone could have cut off part of a gnarly wart.
