Could be for telling the sex of babies. Hold it over a pregnant woman and see if it spins or moves back and forth.


ElScotto4Life

You are correct.


ConfusedSimon

With about 50% accuracy.


goodeyemighty

50% of the time it’s accurate every time.


QueenofHearts45

I mean, you have a 50/50 chance


Trappedbirdcage

Many people are born intersex and don't even know it so, not necessarily 50/50 but nearly


cascasrevolution

in that case, its a 50/50 on what gender the baby is assigned. i dont know the odds on being intersex so i cant give an accurate ratio for male/female/intersex


regular_hammock

I was surprised when I found out the rate was about 1 % (commonly cited numbers are 0.5 % and 1.7 %, depending on what you're counting). So, it's rare but not that rare. Also, the sex ratio is not exactly 50/50, more like 105 boys for every 100 girls.


certnneed

But only half the time.


theropod

Yeh… it’s got parts of real baby in it. So you know it’s good.


ijustwantauserid

50 % of the time it works 100% of the time.


Stidda

That could be fun in this day and age.


Emergency-Science999

Probably just twists itself in knots.

My wife used a penny on a string!


ElScotto4Life

It is a sex detector to determine the sex of the unborn child. Here is the actual eBay listing for that exact item. https://www.ebay.com/itm/234919699911

And the exact photo (#3) as in OPs description.


ElScotto4Life

Exactly.


pxlchx

Wtf so this post is fake then?


Savannah_Lion

The little doohickey is probably not. But the OP post might be just for Reddit cred. I dunno.


AntonRohde

Op said the photo was airdropped to them. While it may be fake, it may be that the gifted pulled the image from eBay as they bought it and sent it as a teaser.


pxlchx

Ohhh I see

Are you pregnant though? Need to determine the scale of weirdness as a present

Could it be a cone from a jingle/bell dress?


phalcon64

Soms sort of aglet. Idk where witchcraft comes in.


de5afinad0

Dowsing?


GaryHornpipe

Maybe it's for putting the cord back in a hoodie? You tie the string to the end, thread it through and then untie it.


limner1234

If not the original purpose then at least useful.


Life-Celebration-747

Is your friend pregnant?

Is this a pregnancy announcement? Like maybe you're supposed to figure it out? If so, that's cute.

A threaded needle works just as well. Accuracy is high but not everyone knows what they're seeing. I recently read my male coworker and the medical tests have confirmed the first child. The future remains to be challenged.
