I'm not sure if this counts (if not someone redirect me), but can someone tell me wtf the overlayed text and image on this screenshot is for?? I've seen this across a lot of memes and shitposts lately, especially on Twitter and Instagram. I can't understand why someone would need to edit the picture like this for the life of me.

Found these while walking on a trail. Anyone know what they could be?

Edit: pic was taken at Big Marsh Park in Chicago, IL. I believe it used to be an industrial site that was changed to a park, but I don't know what specifically

Seemingly appeared overnight. Any thoughts?

Location is South Austin, TX.
She does have a person who occasionally comes by and does yard work, but he hasn't been there in a while, and when asked, says he doesn't know anything about it.

Update:
The most likely theory (to me) is that the hole was likely made by a sod plugging tool. The when and the why are still a mystery. I'm going to contact her tomorrow and see if this info somehow helps to clear things up.

Any idea what “56-NA-21” could mean?

I walk/bike this road semi-regularly in the summer and don’t recall seeing these messages before. My guess is they showed up within the past month or two.

I am doing renovations and I came across this. I bought the house as is and sight on scene, not sure what these are or what’s purpose they serve. One is in the kitchen, the other in the living room.

New, what is it? All these rocks are glued together with caulk into a big pile, about 30 yards from my house. There’s also a tree with rocks hanging from it.

This thing has been here since I moved to my new house but I finally went out to go check it out. My house is in a cul de sac, and butts right up to a wash that looks like a dried up creek/riverbed. When I first moved in I noticed this weird structure about 30 yards from my house out in the middle of the wash. Today I went to look and it’s really strange. It’s about 6 feet tall, and all the rocks are glued together with Loctite caulk (found the empty tube nearby) and it’s pretty solid. Right next to it is a tree where sticks and rocks covered in duct tape were hung like Christmas ornaments. Is this some sort of religious thing? Or did teenagers just decide to be weird and glue a bunch of rocks into a pyramid and hang rocks from the tree for… fun? Any ideas?
