Let us help you identify that mysterious object you’ve found.
Currently in CHALLENGE mode: If you've got something obscure knocking about, post a picture, and let's see how we do. Please prefix such posts with "CHALLENGE:" so we know we've got a fighting chance.
It's about 10 cm (4") long. Metal and plastic.
~~Hopefully this will stump people a little longer than the other challenges have managed.~~ What a naive fool I was! < 1 minute again...
If you do find the answer using Google Lens, hold onto it for a while to see if unaugmented humans can work it out :-)
Please add spoiler tags to any guesses to add to the element of suspense.

It's a keycap remover for a mechanical keyboard.
Correct, and somehow you posted the answer before my screen had even refreshed to let me know my post had been published!
That's roughly the speed at which these sorts of things would get identified on That Other Site™️, so that's a good sign!

Either that or it's a sign I walk around with my eyes closed half the time 😑

I think I have four of them.
Correct!
Despite having used the things this is meant for myself for many years, I had never even seen one of these. Brute force and a screwdriver always worked for my simple needs 😀
Thanks for posting such things, it will help to grow lemmy and is also quite fun!
It's not so much fun scouring the house for mysterious items. But thank you! I hope that this community will continue to grow and prove to be a great resource for people.
Keyboard key cap puller.
