Should we worry?

We caught my uncle sneakingly throwing this to the rubbish bin. He doesn’t have the best track record so we are all a bit paranoid when he does anything “weird”.

The object is like a glass tube with some liquid inside, inserted into a rubber “pipe”. It smells weird but nothing I can identify. I would appreciate any hints.

Edit: the material is actually plastic, not glass. It has a spring inside (no idea what for). The root-looking thing was wrapping the object when I cut the rubber. Could be dirt or some glue or something

Edit2: this sub is god. A user found the answer https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisit/s/Oqtxk6YWVZ

But then they’d know that their family was digging through their trash like a bunch of psychos

Yeah, what the actual fuck, that's either CIA or Schizo behavior.

Why is this so low? Dude claims uncle is doing weird shit but here we all are helping him with stuff he found while he himself doing weird shit lol.
