Created in 2021, "Seen On Maps" has attracted an impressive following of almost 250,000 people, who share a common appreciation for the quirky and surprising moments that unfold in everyday surroundings. From curious animal encounters and peculiar vehicle sightings to spontaneous street performances, the Twitter page has become a digital gallery of the unexpected.
"I PRONOUNCE YOU FIREPAW" "COMMENCE LEADER-APPRENTICE NOSE BOOP!"
As technology connects the online world with the real world, Google Street View has become like a modern window to this mix. Launched in 2007, it started with American cities, capturing the first images of streets, landmarks, and neighborhoods. It quickly grew into a global endeavor, mapping streets and landscapes around the world.
Google Street View lets us virtually walk on streets in faraway places, check out charming areas, and even see bits of how people live around the world. It's within these digital wanderings that the team behind "Seen On Maps" has found a treasure trove of hilarity and unexpected moments.
One can stumble upon a lot of hilarious or peculiar incidents on the streets. Thanks to technology, you don’t necessarily need to leave your home to experience them. For example, in 2010, Google Street View captured a man in a horse mask in Aberdeen, Scotland in the Hardgate area of the city. This sparked various online memes and speculations.
Animals interacting with Google Street View cars have also led to some comical moments. There have been instances of curious dogs chasing the camera car, cats lounging on sidewalks, and even a camel wandering the streets of Dubai.
Staged, someone holding the back wheel up out of shot and she's taken a running jump alongside.
Yep, at the angle the bike is, she would have been flying face first into the pavement, and would have hit the ground right in front of the bike.

She's transitioning from the bike portion of the triathlon to the jogging portion.
It was at this moment she regretted not listening to common sense and putting on a helmet...
This happened to my husband, when he was a kid. Fifty years later, and he still remembers having the gravel dug out of his knee, lol.
She is more graceful falling off her bicycle than I've ever been. Also i hope she was ok😳❤️!
Why is this a "funny thing seen on google maps"? I never understand people who think it's funny when people have accidents like this.
I was going to say how would someone get this picture unless it was staged somehow.
And that’s why helmets matter!(hopefully, this was a staged photo…) 🤞🏾
"Believe it or not I'm walking on air! Never thought I could feel so freeeee! Ready or not a wing and a prayer, who could it be? Believe it or not it's just meeee!" IYKYK.
Why does it seem like a lot of these are all staged or photoshopped? These are not things that happened on a map, if they're. Misleading title
It seems really hazardous to succeed in immortalizing such a fall at the precise moment it occurs, especially since there is apparently no reason to photograph a woman passing by on a bicycle. There is nothing particular in the decorations, the place or the situation which deserves that. So it can only be a montage, from my point of view.
Can happen. A friend once did similar, front wheel caught in a tram track. Busted her kneecap, very painful.
It's a good thing she knows how to fly, or she could get hurt!
What do you think about these pictures? Have you ever seen something funny on the streets yourself? Every story adds a unique brushstroke to the colorful canvas of everyday life. So don't hesitate to tell yours in the comments and let the streets unfold their tales through your eyes!
If I drill another hole in the bottom of the boat the water can drain through it.
Out of shot is a representative of North Dakota charging the other way, about to lock horns.
This is very similar to one of the adapted trolleys they use at my local supermarket. Only difference is instead of the bike pedals, it has a motor.
The crash was caused when the car got distracted after it lit the filter end of the cigarette.
Gonna be stating the obvious, but this is photoshopped, not "found on google maps"
No leathers = no skin, *shudder*, but at least he's wearing a helmet ...

This post is titled wrong. It should be photoshopped things seen on google maps. There is NO way most of these are real.
of course I don't know for sure but, I think more than half of them are "real" but I also think many of them were staged in response to seeing the Google car coming.

At least half of them are fake, wich makes them a much more less funny 😐
#26 isn't funny. I can't even imagine their injuries (if they're even still alive).
#26 isn't funny.. I can't even imagine their injuries (if they're even still alive).
The problem with using "a Twitter page" as a source is half the photos are either staged or photoshopped. It's like all the "according to Reddit" articles on some sites - anyone can post anything to Twitter and Reddit, they should never be used as a source.
why do y'all think posts are fake? (serious q, am autistic. please explain)
