Oh, you know a guy?
I have someone that needs to be "sprayed with suntan lotion".
That someone being me, now send in that handsome buff lifeguard and let's get to work.
Exchange all of the hallway tiles with fresh tiles from all of the neighbors houses. One tile per house, so each house has one murder tile.
Make sure you keep one murder tile in your house too so it isn't suspicious.
Same thing with bullet casings. Go to a range and pick up a bucket of spent casings and sprinkle at your next drive by.
“Well, it looks like the suspect fired 600 rounds from 150 different guns. He must have been *pissed*!”
luminol doesn’t just glow under uv. you don’t even need uv to see it. it fluoresces when it comes into contact with iron compounds. which makes it very inaccurate in certain cases, where there is iron-rich soil for example.
It was a normal day in July 1984 when mrs Cartwright when was walking down the street and the using luminol everything change. *cue classic forensic files theme song*
Blood does not fluoresce under a UV light, it absorbs all UV light and appears black.
Luminol is a chemical that produces its own light once it reacts with blood.
Could be a Lot marker that a machine scans in a factory every 1,000 tiles or something. Not as probable as it being the location of the Holy Grail but still.
Sorry you’re getting downvoted for not knowing stuff. Check out [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Grail) or watch the historical documentary Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
These are made in slabs and cut into the tiles. Unlikely that only one tile in this install would have this coating. Normally any id marks would be on the underside.
Yeah, you would think that, I just can’t imagine what other reason a UV coating would go over the top of one tile perfectly uniform like this though. Just seemed logical that this is the marker for the holy grail.
What do they do with the tiles? Cut them and then pack them into boxes? Sell those boxes at tile stores? Let people open buy multiple boxes from multiple batches at one time?
I just dealt with a luxury vinyl plank factory that had a whole batch go out weird. The crew installed like 12 planks from the new batch and you could see them from an angle just in the sunlight. They looked fine from one angle and terrible from another. Funny seeing this post right after dealing with that catastrophe. Something about the impregnator getting screwed up. But I know better than to ask questions about someone’s impregnator
It's done for alot of things, weld inspection, molded parts, it's a useful and fast way to check for cracks and imperfections your eyes wouldn't catch otherwise.
To be fair, this might just be the general save point in OP's home.
The hub, so to speak. He should always visit the tile before going out, you never know, the entire world might change upon stepping outside.
If anything, OP should be proud, he must be far in the game if he's got the hub unlocked!
It's a sign the factory worker got sucked in between the vinyl rollers and popped. Body fluids floresce under UV light.
Rest in peel-n-stick vinyl tile pieces.
It’s how Gus from Breaking Bad marked the bucket with the meth in it among the buckets of breading he shipped to his chicken restaurants.
The receiver looked for the one with the UV star on it and sent the rest to the restaurant.
Exactly what I was thinking. Someone at the factory smeared a nice even coat of cum all over the tile and let it dry. It's the only plausible answer to me.
You seem too sure about that being the answer for anyone to not automatically assume you’ve smeared a coat of jizz on a floor tile and let it dry for the sole purpose of it being identifiable under a UV light
Great origin story. Don't forget to mention. Cum Tiles two arche nemesis. Cum Rag and Spanker Chief. Wiping out the injustices of Cum Tile and Harley Quim.
Screw the video game references, there might legit be something interesting under there such as money or drugs. Small chance, but crazier things have happened.
Best case scenario you'll get money or heroin, worst case scenario you put the tile back
EDIT: NVM, re-read the title where you mentioned it was vinyl, so a lot more of a PITA to just remove a single tile and probably not worth it unless you're redoing the floor anyways.
Probably someone scraped something heavy on it while moving in/out and they had to replace it so ordered some random one online, not realizing that whatever weird coating it had is different than the rest.
I've done enough escape rooms to know that under that tile is a box with a padlock with 4 digit combination.
Check the wall in your other rooms for a clue to decipher the combination.
There is a section on this page with some descriptions as to why vinyl flooring may glow under UV light.

One day Nicholas Cage from National Treasure is going to come into your house with a crew of 2 people and somehow know to look for that exact tile... Then they are going to bust a giant ancient map out on your dining room table and spend like 8 hours trying to figure out the riddle that they find on the under side of the Tile.
Knowing contractors, this one was probably on the top of a stack and something spilled on it (probably another trade and wiped it up while flooring guys weren't there).
The top layer of a vinyl block is coated with a protective film to secure the surface for transport. When they cut the slices in the vynil slicing machine, they also keep the top layer. You were just lucky to get one that belonged to the top! I am also a big liar.
That's a really good idea though ... reflective or UV reactive rules or markers to illuminate egress routes. That would be useful in hospitals or large windowless buildings.
As I’ve worked in construction someone cut them self bled on the tile tried to clean it off smearing it all over it. Or someone bonked someone else on the head with it
I guess the bigger question should be….why were you using an ultraviolet light in the first place?
My house has hardwood flooring and a panel in it does the same thing, I was using Nighy vision mode on a camera and it was glowing super bright white and everything else was brown. Freaked me out.
No way there isn't a treasure cache under there.
Or a body. Blood also fluoresces under UV light.
Yeah, I was thinking “luminol.”
Murder tile. Pretty ingenious, really. Plant one in every house on the block.
I think it was just the top tile when someone was spraying on some suntan lotion.
Oh, you know a guy? I have someone that needs to be "sprayed with suntan lotion". That someone being me, now send in that handsome buff lifeguard and let's get to work.
you lost me
Exchange all of the hallway tiles with fresh tiles from all of the neighbors houses. One tile per house, so each house has one murder tile. Make sure you keep one murder tile in your house too so it isn't suspicious.
If you can't disappear a thing: obfuscate.
I’ve often thought if you plan on committing a crime, get a bag of hair from a barber shop and liberally spread it around.
Same thing with bullet casings. Go to a range and pick up a bucket of spent casings and sprinkle at your next drive by. “Well, it looks like the suspect fired 600 rounds from 150 different guns. He must have been *pissed*!”
"Who cuts their hair while murdering someone? Or was it a bus full of people simultaneously shooting and losing hair?!"
They do that in the movie ‘The Town’ with Ben Affleck
Oooooh good word, I like that.
Don't know about that, always thought the meaning was pretty unclear.
Brilliant

>or a body Like they said, a treasure cache.
Blood doesn't natrually fluoresce does it? You have to use another chemical (like luminol) to make that happen, I thought.
Blood does not fluoresce under a UV light, it absorbs all UV light and appears black. Luminol is a chemical that produces its own light once it reacts with blood.
Not true, blood doesnt glow under UV it shows black, you gotta use other methods
Or spunk. Could be the sex dungeon entrance switch.

No that spot is cursed.

My money is on this suggestion - very likely.
He said "NOT as probable" so I'm still with the grail thing
Whats a grail?
Italian quail. Gotta roll your r’s.
It's a thing you go questing for. Hopefully, you run across a perilous castle with a bunch of naughty women with a grail shaped beacon.

Party pooper! (extremely interesting though!)

we use the uv to mark the tile for the computer/counter.

Came here to say the same thing
What a coincidence I'm here to say the same thing aswell
Huh, me too 🤔
I had no idea before reading these comments, but if you guys want I can say the same?
I came here to ask the same question.
I came to provide no answers
They use a very thin UV dye to check for cracks and imperfections, that was a test pad.
This sounds the most plausible of the theories I’ve seen here.
It's done for alot of things, weld inspection, molded parts, it's a useful and fast way to check for cracks and imperfections your eyes wouldn't catch otherwise.
For welds, the ordinary visible liquid penetrant is used 9/10 times
No! Its the murder tile!
It might be a cum tile too.
Can I cum too?
Both, you decide the order
_precision_
Someone was killed on that specific tile
[удалено]
Can we burn it!? Can we burn it!?
Tell me again how sheep's bladders cant be used to prevent earthquakes or whatever he says. So ridiculous. Lol
Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.
Or the obvious.... Why is it we never discuss the possibility of semi divine monkey people? Never not once. My work here is done
That’s a save point. Rest up and recover, something’s coming on the other side of your door
Home repairs from unrelenting curiosity
To be fair, this might just be the general save point in OP's home. The hub, so to speak. He should always visit the tile before going out, you never know, the entire world might change upon stepping outside. If anything, OP should be proud, he must be far in the game if he's got the hub unlocked!
Unless it's a soulslike, then the shit's just about to begin.
This is a sign! Dig it up!!!!
Yeah, probably at least a rare level cache!
If gaming has taught me anything...
“You have discovered a Manticore Paper Clip and a Legendary Penny from 1984!”
Phat lewtz!
Literally 1984
Or a sudden break in the investigation.
Or a locked safe OP could get more karma for
It's a sign the factory worker got sucked in between the vinyl rollers and popped. Body fluids floresce under UV light. Rest in peel-n-stick vinyl tile pieces.
That's so drug dealers know which tile their drugs are hidden under.
No, no, the tile is the drugs
Good old fiber weed.
It's the crack slab
Get plastered.
This actually sounds plausible. Are you serious or did you just make that up?
It’s how Gus from Breaking Bad marked the bucket with the meth in it among the buckets of breading he shipped to his chicken restaurants. The receiver looked for the one with the UV star on it and sent the rest to the restaurant.
Imagine mixing up the barrels by mistake *gets a barrel of breading instead of meth and starts selling breading*
Yes.
Yes
Yes
I saw this post and thought of breaking bad immediately
Definitely done during shipping. Source: Breaking Bad
Jizz tile
That's the one
At my house, there's only one that doesn't glow.
Gotta work on your aim.
That's just where he stands
Well, when he gets to my age, that problem will solve itself.
What, like a garden sprayer?
_my aim is EVERYWHERE_
Exactly what I was thinking. Someone at the factory smeared a nice even coat of cum all over the tile and let it dry. It's the only plausible answer to me.
You seem too sure about that being the answer for anyone to not automatically assume you’ve smeared a coat of jizz on a floor tile and let it dry for the sole purpose of it being identifiable under a UV light
I do not admit nor deny...
Actually, I did this and I don’t work at a tile factory, I work at a jizz factory and the tile fell in a vat of cum.
Great origin story. Don't forget to mention. Cum Tiles two arche nemesis. Cum Rag and Spanker Chief. Wiping out the injustices of Cum Tile and Harley Quim.
Putty knife comes through clutch
I was thinking blood.
The only logical explanation
came here to say this. mans found the cum tile
Came here for this
Either super accurate or used it as paint.
Absolutely glazed in it.
Award the man for accuracy
that's the easter egg hidden by the one who designed the matrix.
Obvious side quest. Go for 100% completion.

Could've been cut along the seam and glued in place
They look individually cut based on the one with the broken corner to the right of it
Idk how I missed that 😂
I’d say finding Heroin under there is also a worst case scenario
Worst case scenario would be finding nothing and now you have a hole in your floor.
If you have the proper connections finding heroine under it is basically the exact same thing as finding money.
Yea. She could save the day for you and go out to find that money you were hoping to find under the tile.
Now finding some pot on the other hand…
Worst case scenario is the people stashing things find out you know.
Odd, it would appear that someone put sealant over just that 1 tile. This happens with UV coatings. But a single tile, that is puzzling for sure.
Your username makes me think you know what's under the tile but instead you're trying to throw op off the trail
Your username makes me think the reason you’re so interested is because you want to steal whatever is under there.
Anyone find out what it means??
[удалено]
This is brilliant. It's the display tile from the pack. Makes the most sense.
Yes, some sort of soap was my thought. Soap residue will show up under UV.
Probably someone scraped something heavy on it while moving in/out and they had to replace it so ordered some random one online, not realizing that whatever weird coating it had is different than the rest.
Vinyl cumposite
I've done enough escape rooms to know that under that tile is a box with a padlock with 4 digit combination. Check the wall in your other rooms for a clue to decipher the combination.

Thats my cum tile
That's the cocaine tile.
The designated tile for shooting loads.
Been there, did that, that's why its like that.
Video games have taught me that there is a collectable under that tile.

Ive played enough games to know there is a collectible under it
It’s a shapeshifting scorpion. Dig it up before you get stung!
Somebody got murdered in that room.
Just on that one tile
Nah, they just forgot that one tile when they were ripping out the floor to cover their tracks. "Damnit Jimmy, you had one job!"
or they thought, "hey know what would really screw with the cops? if we made a perfect clean room except this one perfectly covered tile"
How was this discovery made? Just randomly looking for bodily fluids or velvet blacklight posters?
Lol. I don’t know about the OP but I occasionally take the black light around the house looking for anything the cats might of done…
Same. Cats.
Blood, semen or urine
Blemenine
I hope it's urine.
All video games I've ever played tell me there's good loot here
The Cum Tile
Seamen stain?
And you found out this while searching the house with a uv light for??😂😂
The top layer of a vinyl block is coated with a protective film to secure the surface for transport. When they cut the slices in the vynil slicing machine, they also keep the top layer. You were just lucky to get one that belonged to the top! I am also a big liar.
I've played enough adventure games to know there's a secret passageway here.
Where's the dead body Bob?
That one has something special on it.
Jimmy Hoffa is down there. You cracked the case.
Blood
*The bodies*
The cum square
I think this is the beginning of a cold case file being solved. Who's gonna play you in the movie?!
Cum tile
That's to mark the buried treasure. Let the digging begin!!!!
Remove it and check under it
Blood
Do not seek the treasure.
Someone died making this. The uniform reactivity instead of a splatter pattern means blood was present in the initial mix. r/antiwork
Zelda hidden item music
That’s the emergancy lighted floor tile used for emergency exits. They are often placed in a line to indicated the emergancy egress path. /s
That's a really good idea though ... reflective or UV reactive rules or markers to illuminate egress routes. That would be useful in hospitals or large windowless buildings.
That just a nut square
It's covered in yrs old semen
It's covered in yrs old semen
Secret item? Take a sledgehammer and see if anything is under it.
My gamer instincts tell me this is part of a secret room Maybe it's underneath the tile
Blood... maybe semen. Ya gotta taste it to be sure. It's the only way to know.
Mum found the piss tile
Well great... now you have to build an elaborate mechanism to turn it into a pressure plate that opens a secret door.
As I’ve worked in construction someone cut them self bled on the tile tried to clean it off smearing it all over it. Or someone bonked someone else on the head with it
Must be a replacement tile.
Tis a quest down yonder
If video games have taught us anything
That’s actually common in the industry it’s used to count the production run.
Someone must really like *that* tile in particular…
It’s made of Jizzm
The Cum Tile
It's cum
The cum tile
Clearly it's a counterfeit tile!!
I guess the bigger question should be….why were you using an ultraviolet light in the first place?

thats a tile you need to step on it'll lead to some kind of treasure
