My desk is cluttered and I just found this thing on it. I’m worried it’s some egg from a insect. It’s extremely hard tho I try as hard as I can, but I can’t squish it with my fingers. It’s mostly see through which doesn’t seem bug like. Looks more like a pill or a maybe a stone from some jewelry. But don’t take any pills like this or have any jewelry with that color stone that anyone in the house wears really

maybe a bead from a dessicant packet? They’re usually more clear, but can sometimes drift towards brown.
Maybe I’ll check for a dessicant packet but I usually throw those away ASAP cuz they poisonous to cats
If it’s desiccant you could bake it at 250F for about an hour. It should turn a different color. Then if you re-wet it, it will go back to that color.
But if it’s not desiccant, you might just melt some plastic or cause it to pop or something else.
Interesting ty!

Or maybe a weighted blanket??? I have one of those.
Just felt it and it feels like sand in there. Much smaller than the thing I found.
Is there a mosquito inside it? You could start Jurassic park.
Do you have any natural wood around like the desk? It could be a drop of resin that came out of wood.
Honestly, idk what my desk is. I got it for free from a friend. It looks like wood but its stupid heavy and sturdy. I knock on it and sounds like wood. I’ve moved several times and it’s holding up perfect.
I had another desk start to crumble after the 1st move. Was done for after the 2nd move.
I like to use things until they die, but this desk I could see lasting another 10 or more years. It’s built like a rock. Which kinda sucks cuz it is a really basic desk, no shelves or storage or anything.
Just did the math I’m pretty sure I’ve had it for at least 10-12 years. No idea how long the original owner had it. Survived at least 6 moves… I think this post should really be about what the fuck my desk is lol
Looks like a vitamin D pill, but those are squishy.
And like, idk, aren’t those pills maybe 5 times larger than this thing?
Or maybe OP followed one of these enlarge you penny tutorial you find on the internet…
Settle down Mr. Moranis.
Depends on the dosage, I’ve seen little ones like that.
No shit? That sounds wild. What’s the application?
Boosting vitamin d increases immune defense. Good for warding off cold and flu in climates that don’t get enough sunlight.
OTOH, in me, it also increased kidney stone production. :( So while I dodged the cold, flu and covid, I also had 6 kidney stones.
I was actually asking about the teeny tiny gelcaps you referred? I have never seen any even close to that size! Usually they are somewhat larger. I just found this page with some cool info, https://www.trustar-pharma.com/info/softgel-sizes-the-ultimate-guide-37148451.html
Sorry to hear about your kidney stones! That does not sound super fun!
What does it taste like?
Lol I’m tempted but thus far haven’t crossed that bridge
You’ve gotta help us help you here.
it looks like a pill to me
