A Germ Key
We could stare at this object for hours and we’d still not be able to figure out what this is. Luckily for us, we don’t have to – that’s what Reddit is for! (well, among other things). According to this person, they received this item in the mail from their college, and they couldn’t figure out what this was for the life of them. If the college sent this, they probably expected their students to know what to do with it, right?
So, this person did what anyone else would and turned to Reddit for some answers. Apparently, this small metallic object is a “germ key.” Confused? So are we. You’re supposed to use this key in order to twist open doors without having to touch the doorknob (which is clearly germ-infected). It could be pretty handy once you know what this is. Boy, this college sure is looking out for its students.
