The moderator told Bored Panda earlier that ‘What Is This Thing?’ has a serious offshoot on Reddit named ‘Trace An Object,’ which searches for objects posted by Europol (European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation) that are linked to criminal cases.
“We've had some luck in identifying some things, but there's more yet unsolved and more to come as Europol does release some new information every few months.”

When posting an answer, you should back up your claims by providing some sort of link to a source. “Everyone's got an opinion, facts help.” The ‘What Is This Thing?’ seriously frowns upon answers generated with artificial intelligence.
“AI rarely offers anything of value and never provides sources to its claims. By all means, use AI to assist, but please investigate its answers and provide your own proof of its claims. Straight copy/paste answers will be removed and the user banned,” the moderators warn.
