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.
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.
Or any other protective gear. I mean the guy's waering shorts and a tanktop.. That's gonna hurt. A lot.

What is going on in the back of the truck in the top right of the photo?

I do not find these posts funny or silly. When I see people getting hurt I just hurt for them 😭 I am too delicate for the Internet, why am I here!?
Don't say you're too delicate. It's like saying you're too delicate bc back in the 70's you didn't find racist jokes funny. Joking about motorcyclists going head first through vehicles isn't funny. It's gross. Just like racist jokes. You're having the appropriate reaction. Disregard what everyone else thinks.

What's really interesting is that this is how they get ON their motorcycle each time...
Maybe the bike was speeding (maybe not) but no one seems to be mentioning the driver who pulled out in front of the bike without looking... (though as a motorcyclist I have never ridden without a helmet)
Nope, not funny. Friend of mine got in a similar accident (lawnmower, not motorcycle), he almost died. In the hospital for like six months...
And that's why we always wear top of the line, full body protection and armour when we go for a ride (I'd say we as my whole family does, my Wife, my, brother, his Wife and both our parents, each riding their own SportBike)
I will never understand cars that pull out without looking both ways.
Out of my father and four brothers, I'm the only one who doesn't ride a motorcycle. This is why. Two of my brothers and my sister were seriously injured in motorcycle accidents. I get that it's fun and liberating, but it just doesn't seem worth the risk to me. I suppose I'm an old stick in the mud.
Knew a Level 1 trauma surgeon who used to call them that. True.

This is horrible. BP needs to rethink the titles of their posts. This is not funny.
This is not real. It looks like 4 dummies in the back of the truck in the background. There was some sort of absurdity fest being filmed.
Been there, done that. With apologies to poor Zal, my pillion at the time.
Indeed. I have seen a CTB of someone who came off a bike in a similar way, no helmet. It was unrecognisable... looked kind of like a bowl of rice

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)
