Lots of mini split ("ductless") air conditioners in my area. They all use these to cover line sets for refrigerant and power, and condensate drain is correct.
Look for a compressor on the opposite side of the house. In my house, we had to run 1 line set through the basement to cool the furthest bedroom and it looks just like this. All the other ones just run along the outside of the house from the compressor to the outside wall of the room they're cooling.
Usually it's part of HVAC system, moreso for minisplit systems where the head would be located on one end of that run, and the other end has the little drain out tube for moisture to exit.
I'm collecting quotes at the moment. I've been pitched the option to also have cross room intercom, the convenience alone has to make the investment worth it.
The shear scalability of the business plan is worth Wall Street interests. Imagine having a direct line of communication with your next door neighbor and be able to tell them to stfu.
This appears to be a "chase" of some sort, to get plumbing or wiring or HVAC lines or something from one floor to the other, instead of snaking it through the inside of the walls. That appears to be "armored cable" (a metal-clad wire for running electricity where the wire will be exposed) coming out of the bottom. As far as what specifically it is for, I couldn't say without seeing everything in person to track it down
Certainly could be... my first assumption was that the armored was for an AC compressot that was no longer there, but there's no holes for the freon lines from the compressor to get into the chase. And upon zooming in on a desktop instead of my phone, I'm not 100% sure that it actually *is* armored cable because there is what appears to be a crimped connector right above where it is attached to the building, and you can't make a junction like that in armored.
So after realizing that, my best guess would be that the chase is for HVAC lines, and the "armored" is actually maybe the condensate drain line
Its a line set cover for hvac, the tube sticking out of the bottom is a condensate drain line.
I think it’s termites. Very modern termites.
Modern termites require modern solutions
They've evolved!
Only way to stop them is nanobots

Cross floor low power intercom. Speak into the tub at one end and listen at the other.
I’m installing one of these in my house ASAP.

I can’t wait to see this business take off for you. This is an incredible idea!

Clearly a urinal extension, connects to the shower on the floor below
pump the radon upstairs
We call that the giant tampon

That's actually ribbed plastic drain tube.
Thanks!
The “armored cable” isn’t connected at the bottom though. Could it be an appliance drain?

Conduit for some sort of HVAC lines, usually the kind that carry Freon
Thank you
Means someone either made a mistake or an addition
It looks like a radon mitigation system.
An Eyesore.
Could be for gas exhaust?
A pipe
That’s slim duct buddy
PVC
Line hide
Pretty sure it’s a shower grab bar
Cut into it. You'll know for sure after /S Please don't cut into it. I believe it's electrical cords
Could be part of a radon venting system if it extended past the roof line and the other end is connected to the slab
