What is this?

[Skillmister]

I was peeping out of my curtains the other day and a car parked up, two people got out wearing hi-viz jackets and put a ladder up against a lamp post, attached this to it and got back in their car and drove off.

An actual answer would be appreciated amongst the expected GDness

Did they attach it with gaffer tape?

They did

probably a pollution sensor

SOLVED: The mystery of the object attached to a Taunton lamppost

A SMALL test tube has been attached to a lamppost in Haydon Road, Taunton.

Looks like a tap with a plastic thing on the end.

Good shout.

Points to me for asking OcUK something which I could have got the answer from Google

It's clearly a pine cone!! When are people going to understand this?

Some kind of air quality sensing thing?

Eg https://www.theguardian.com/environ...air-pollution-monitoring-into-their-own-hands

Edit: also aliens. Time to double wrap the tin foil hat.

It's a white hole.

Its a microphone to make sure you're speaking welsh.

I've never seen one before - no one has - but I'm guessing it's a white hole.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. A black hole sucks time and matter out of the Universe; a white hole returns it.

Looks more like an acorn to me.

It's a Neighbourhood Watch sign.

That’s the new street lamps they are rolling out to save on electricity

You mean an eggcorn?

Pedo detector. That’s why it’s outside your house.

 

[dlockers]

Take it off and put it in your fridge. Monitor for when they come back to collect it.

That way they will report 0 pollution and your house price will improve.

It's one of those bluetooth hacking devices that was previously used to type randomly on the keyboard of that guy in the Windows forum recently. Only explanation.
