Trooper Johnna Batiste tweeted out a picture of a car part from a vehicle that killed an unidentified cyclist, asking the public for any information on the collision.

The tweet found its way to the sub-Reddit category (WhatIsThisThing), a thread where users have identified some pretty obscure objects just from a single photo.

It didn’t take long for the internet to do its thing. Reddit user and former Maryland state inspector, JeffsNuts, identified the headlamp as a bezel from a 1988 Chevrolet Silverado truck.

The tweet ended up on the sub-Reddit thread ‘What is this thing’ and one user quickly responded.

As a headlamp bezel from a 1988 Chevrolet Silverado truck.

People were amazed at the story and power of social media.

Wow

Internet is power

The world is evolving everyday. Technology has brought more harm than good.
But I'm still doubting if this can happen in Nigeria.

wow,

Internet has help many people...

Internet can break up your relationship/marriage

Internet can turn a nobody into a slay queen/king

Internet can make you rich and poor.

Internet is bae!!!

nice one

That is a system that works

Not obtainable in a Police force that has "yomi shongule" and "IGP Idris" serving (bossing) it.

I can never underestimate the power of social media because I am a benefactor of its awesomeness. These days I don't even lift a finger to do certain things because I know that the social media can do and undo.

In the history of working, this has never worked in Nigeria

Not surprised, this is definitely a sane society where;

The people are united not separated by tribe, ethnicity, religion or political affliction

The "police is really your friend"

Society that values the lives of her citizenry

Society that recognises the importance of the Internet in this 21st century

Society where the social media is not under attack

Society where western education is not seen as evil by a group of people in a particular region

Society where there is equity, justice and fairness

Society where the leaders have their country at heart

Society where a large number of it's citizens are literate
..and so on

Can same be said of a certain country usually referred to as a mere geographical expression location somewhere in west Africa?

The answer is NO

Future Impossible tense

To all these slay queens and kings...You all may forget but internet will never forget all your nude pics you exchanged for money and material things..

What goes around comes around...that's how internet works.

Interestingly, the police man has tattoos.

In Nigeria;

1. Aboki for don pick the plastic put for truck
2. Accident nor too concern police

Wisdom of the crowd. If you know, you know

Social Media is very Powerful! Use it to your advantage.

Nigeria policeman will see that piece of car headlamp, pick it up and throw it to the nearby bush. They are very dump and doesn't have sense.

Have we finished comparing a working system to our dead land?

Ok let me start with a useful contribution:
There is nothing new here. People are always willing to help with time, knowledge and CPU processing power. This forum can do the same if managed well.
The only problem with humans providing random contributions is the creation of waste, trolls who playfully post wrong information to feel a modicum sense of power.

Just see reddit's 'whatIsThis' section.. If toh say nairaland get am, topics wey go full am no go pass sexual things.. You go see topics like:
"Tekno claims to have big cassava, but whatIsThis na?"
"look at what i found when i wanted to fv*k my gf.. (s3x pics +18).. click to s3e what it is"..
NL tire me sha.. 555
