i saw someone suggest it was for hanging torches and i desperately want to know what the fuck the inside of their mind looks like, and what they think a torch is

What is this 'Credit Card' you speak of?

I saw that post and it sort of made sense to me. Put the handle in the hole, stands upright. Another person comes along, rotates the torch to an angle and puts the handle of their torch in another hole to balance the weight of the two torches. Same with a third of needed, I think it could work if the device is big enough.

yeah that still doesn't make sense to me, the only way i see it working is if you have a single torch placed in a face so it's all upwards.

and why would you design something so strange to hold torches? imagine coming to someone's house and their light switches are pipe valves in a closet you have to turn to dim the lights throughout the house, wack

if you want to hold multiple torches you can just have multiple sconces

It honestly kind of looks like a model of a virus lol

honestly the obvious answer to me is that it's just a decoration, it just looks like something you'd put on a shelf to fill space
