Lamp shade collar?
I moved and dissembled lamps (mistake) and now I have a bunch of these and no idea where they are supposed to go.
What do the numbers mean? How do I get one that fits a lamp I don’t have one for?

Dragon mister- Goodwill find
A steam fountain I found at goodwill. Got the proper batteries(A13) and tried to switch it into on but nothing happened. Came with the light(functional) on the last slide. Honestly just don't know if I'm missing a piece or it's just broken. Cant find anything on the company that made it online. Any advice is appreciated!

Request Indoor (gas?) fireplace. Any help is greatly appreciated, furnace stopped working.
This may be an easy thing to figure out, and I apologize.. it’s just an old house and I haven’t been here long.. I’ve tried everything I feel comfortable doing with it because I don’t entirely know. Any help is appreciated.

How do these gloves work?
They are the same material as far as I can tell, and the same thickness. Usually these kinds of gloves don’t improve screen touching accuracy but these are spot on. Just seems like normal gloves with red tips on the index and thumb, but they genuinely work really well yet the other, non-red fingers don’t work…though they look and feel the same with the same material?

How do I open this window?
My apt building is over 100 years old and I can’t seem to find anything that looks like these locks. Their locking mechanism seems straightforward, I just can’t seem to open my windows? I’ve tried cutting the edges to get rid of old paint, but nothing seems to work. Help?
Pls be kind lol

GROHE shower faucet/handle with random switches
Hello! Wondering if anyone knows what this switch on the side of my GROLE shower faucet/handle thing is? Like what does it do?
It doesn’t seem to do anything when I hold it down, with the shower on or off, but I may be doing it wrong - I tried a couple ways for like 10 minutes before giving up.
If anyone can tell me if these have a purpose or not, I’d really appreciate it!

How do people bounce their butt cheeks up down? Together or separately?
Serious question. Any time I see a *music* video where someone shakes their butt, I am just mind boggled. How do you move your butt up and down without moving your hips? And...especially people who can do it by individual cheeks. That and Terry Crew pec flickering thing just stump me. How can one learn to master this art?

Automatic Toilet Not Flushing
I’m having some trouble with an automatic toilet that hasn't flushed since yesterday. I've tried the usual things, but nothing seems to work. Has anyone experienced this before? Any tips or tricks on how to manually flush or troubleshoot the issue would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your help!

I just want to take a shower
Granted, my brain isn't working too well right now because REASONS - but I cannot figure out how to turn this shower on.
I'm staying at a friend's house while they are out of town. Where they are at, the internet is spotty at best so even if I text them, they might not see it for a while. So yeah - how does this shower set-up work? There's no button or lever on the spout. The only lever on the shower head dials in the spray. What am I missing?!?

Request How does this cattle machine work?
Saw lots of people debating on what the machine really was, some people seemed to think it was to trim hooves but the video cuts before anything happens.
Essentially the cow is tricked into walking forward, and as in picture two it's head gets locked in an upward position. Then the machine starts moving sideways as the cow slides down further. It appears like it might be breaking it's neck.. I tried googling this device but couldn't find anything similar as a hoof trimming machine so I believe it's a slaughter device.
Anyone know?

FYI Pluto-tv
I just wanted to watch a particular movie and went to Google it. I was suggested to get an HBO subscription or to stream it via Apple TV. Then I found this legit looking service called Pluto and it seems to stream it for free. What's the catch? Was I just lucky to get to a service where they happen to have this movie available for free? Would I be this lucky with any movies?

What is/was this opening for?
Located on the back patio of my parents’ home near Tampa, FL. Looks like it was a spot for an outdoor kitchenette since there’s a gas line, outlets, water, drain as well.
