Okay, so picture this: you’re digging around your grandparents’ house, right? Sifting through shelves, drawers, the random stuff that nobody’s seen in years. And then, bam, you find it: this little egg-shaped… marble? stone? thing. Smaller than your hand, heavier than you expect, and you are just standing there asking yourself, what in the world is this?
That’s pretty much what happened to one Reddit user, and instead of just shrugging and tossing it back in the drawer, they did what people do nowadays: took a picture, posted it, and turned everyone into sleuths.
And here’s the twist. The grandparents, the holders of all the weird junk, casually said, “oh yeah, that’s an egg-weight.” The end. Which… okay, I guess. But really? A marble egg hanging out in the attic for years as a paperweight? It sounds a little too good to be true, right?
And then the internet stepped in with the other suggestion: darning egg. Which, if you aren’t a crafter, a sewing lover, or obsessed with household goods from the 1940s, you’re probably thinking… a what?
