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.

Could it be part of a toy?

69

u/ElectronicTax7138 6d ago

No, I don’t think it could be part of a toy. That’s a good assumption though.

50

u/KnockKnock-Nevermind 6d ago

Put it in a cup of water and see what happens

u/Notabagofdrugs 6d ago

That’s how you get gremlins.

u/Number-6-no-mayo 6d ago

It’s definitely part of a toy. It’s from a 3D printed dragon toy. Here is a picture

43

u/juzuup 6d ago

That’s not it. It does look like it is the best birthday gift for children tho.

95

u/ANValentine89 6d ago

Plot twist: that guy invented it and is trying to get more sales on his 3D printed Dragon empire

u/Airport_Wendys 6d ago

Fun gift for adults too…

u/Cheacky 4d ago

It's amazing how you possibly got the worst example of the think you're trying to say the object un question is.

Like, your example, is if a chickpea and a pea were in the same pod.

u/kilotangoalpha 5d ago

I assumed you meant like a bad dragon toy not like....a furby

u/markrinlondon 6d ago

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

91

u/noircheology 6d ago

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

76

u/ElectronicTax7138 6d ago

No it’s super hard, not rubbery or flexible at all.

14

u/larz0 6d ago

Looks like old hardened rubber-ish material that has turned brittle

u/Quiet-Try4554 6d ago

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

57

u/ElectronicTax7138 6d ago

I thought it was a shell or a piece of coral too, but I’m nowhere near the beach.

125

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!

26

u/horaceinkling 6d ago

Suitcase went and didn’t invite the guest. :c

10

u/AngelProjekt 5d ago

Suitcases are so rude.

163

u/jspurlin03 6d ago

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.

207

u/peacelovetacos247 6d ago

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

u/Intelligent_Net_914 5d ago

We had one it was a hedge hog rawhide thing looks just like this

81

u/ElectronicTax7138 6d ago

Ohhhh this sounds very plausible!

u/snackofalltrades 6d ago

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

I hate that I now know this bit of info.

Dried out fly eggs?

u/my_psychic_powers 5d ago

Thanks for that, with all the down votes I’ve gotten.

11

u/ElectronicTax7138 6d ago

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.

10

u/HellfireOrpheusTod 6d ago

Insect eggs come in a variety of shapes lad

u/Mundane_Pea4296 5d ago

Came to say the same. Looks like it

u/anowlenthusiast 6d ago

What area of the world? Part of a reptile's shed?

118

u/dullship 6d ago

What does a reptile need a shed for? Reptiles don't do yard work!

u/NZ-Food-Girl 6d ago

I thought it was funny!

u/Airport_Wendys 6d ago

Well, in this economy…

u/fairkatrina 6d ago

Looks very like the jawbone spikes of my beardie when he shed

11

u/toshibathezombie 6d ago

Owning a few reptiles, shed is soft and flaky, not hard like OP suggests

-105

u/debe1236654 6d ago

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

53

u/beam_me_uppp 6d ago

Tf?! Straight back to health class with you 🤨➡️

-2

u/Tootsgaloots 6d ago

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.

2

u/smokethatdress 6d ago

I thought this was from the wart subreddit at first

2

u/BADoVLAD 5d ago

Sounds like a place of nightmares tbh

2

u/Cheacky 4d ago

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

1

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.

-44

u/gimre817 6d ago

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

2

u/Airport_Wendys 6d ago

Omg. The idea that this is a possible answer is eye-opening

22

u/cycledesign 6d ago

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

27

u/Cat_Chat_Katt_Gato 6d ago

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?

14

u/riotousviscera 6d ago

i am scrolling the internet without my glasses and can tell that’s not rice lmao

u/Nynm 6d ago

This is what it looks like to me too

15

u/Dry-Decision8601 6d ago

Definitely looks like a dried clump of fried rice to me!

-14

u/dsburne 6d ago

Broken part of French tickler... 🤔

14

u/Amru321 6d ago

Maybe a dried clump of cooked rice. It can get hard like that when it dries.

-9

u/ManuelGarciaOKelly 6d ago

Dried piece of skin or callous removed from foot

-5

u/ManuelGarciaOKelly 6d ago

Dried filiform wart that was cut off

8

u/OddSocks_410 6d ago

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

u/1StunnaV 6d ago

Looks like fly eggs

u/sokko78 6d ago

Someone had a bearded dragon in your room.

-1

u/oh_blessyourheart 5d ago

Finally! Why is this answer not at the top yet? Clearly bearded dragon scales. A shed?

1

u/Cheacky 4d ago

Because OP said it was hard. As pointed out by other commenters, red dragon shed ain't hard.

u/Pesci_09 6d ago

It’s a clump of dried cooked rice

-2

u/killdagrrrl 6d ago

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?

1

u/Thepurplecomander12 6d ago

I looks like a part of a lizard toy

2

u/LadyInCrimson 6d ago

Maybe it's part of a brush?

2

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.

-4

u/thetoxicballer 6d ago

Looks like some rice that was dried together

u/Airport_Wendys 6d ago

It’s it a food product?

Oh it does look like a piece of a dog’s paw! That a very good idea.

1

u/horaceinkling 6d ago

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

1

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

u/NUMBerONEisFIRST 6d ago

It's waste; possibly the biomedical type.

Throw it away.

u/RTKake 6d ago

I'm thinking either a dried piece of tripe, a mailmans thumb gripper thing, or most likely, a broken piece of the "European tickler" thing you get in a truck stop bathroom vending machine. Any of these answers you likely want to switch rooms.

u/Quiet-Illustrator1 6d ago

Could be clumped rice sticking together?

u/TeddysGirlForever 5d ago

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.
