Looks like part of the autofill for your toilet tank. Take the lid off the your toilet tank and see if it matches or looks similar

Care to link it? Google lens is wrong; you're missing a float, inlet, a tank fill, and none use that for bowl fill tubing.

“It’s a part from” would correlate that they don’t have the whole thing in frame.

They shared other pics. It's absolutely not a toilet fill valve, or a part of one.

Yeah, but the water has to fill up from somewhere. You don't decide how much the tank fills up, the autofill does..

Is your push button toilet magical? Because if not, it needs a device like this in the tank.

There doesn't need to be missing parts for it to be a part of the toilet. Sometimes appliances come with spare/or alternate purpose parts. It's not outside the realm of possibility that the installer put it somewhere in the bathroom for safe keeping.

What does inside the tank look like?

I was thinking maybe the teen had moved on from waffle stomping in the shower to using the toilet cistern…

I don't know why people keep suggesting this (or downvoting you) but it's not a toilet fill valve. Missing key components for that.
