30 Of The Most Amusing And Ridiculous Moments Ever Captured By Google Maps (New Pics)
Interview
You don’t fully realize how peculiar our world is until you start using the internet. It’s not just the memes that you might find on social media that are strange—real life is pretty bizarre, too! And some of that weirdness gets immortalized in the places that you might least expect: on Google Earth and Google Maps.
That’s where the ‘Weird Google Earth’ project comes in. It curates some of the funniest, oddest, and most mysterious snaps that people stumble upon using the two tools, and it makes Planet Earth seem like Alice’s Wonderland. Scroll down to see the world from a bunch of new perspectives. Don’t forget to upvote your fave pics and follow the WGE socials if you enjoy their content!
Nik Ianevitch, the founder and curator of 'Weird Google Earth,' was kind enough to tell Bored Panda about the project. Check out our full interview with him below!

More common than you think. Those canals are treacherous, especially at night. My mom and aunt were roadtripping thru Louisiana once and their car broke down in bayou country. My mom yelled at my aunt to not stand so close to the road and my aunt just told her, I'd be more afraid of what's in the water.

Ha, I've actually seen this thing. It's at the "Memorial to heroic defence of Odessa - 411th Battery", which is a park full of military stuff on the site of an old battery that saw action during the Siege of Odesa in 1941. Besides the submarine they have another ship, an armored train, an armored tram, some tanks, lots of artillery pieces including a coastal gun in it's original bunker, aircraft, mines, torpedoes, you name it.

Not the right time to post this one. Three children died in yesterday's attacks on the cafe in Kramatorsk. From the skies of Russia has come planes carrying missiles that fall on hospitals, schools, residential buildings, humanitarian corridors, power and water plants, and bunkers full of children (specifically the opera theatre in Mariupol clearly marked "CHILDREN" in Russian). I see no love in this picture from Kamchatka Krai, Russia.

There's a bigger one in Slobozia, Romania, built by an eccentric millionaire who also built himself the farmhouse from the "Dallas" tv series. Now both are sadly in disrepair since his death. Located here: 44°33'27.1"N 27°19'58.9"E

No. The aircraft was flying beneath the satellite that took the imagery. It appears ghostly because of the color separation, it only appeared in one of the images that get combined to form a color satellite photo.

For this to make sense, you have to understand that, to Walmart, "freedom" means "the ability to earn unlimited profit and underpay workers because we lobbied Congress for fewer labor regulations and lower corporate taxes".

I think they understood it perfectly, because the assignment was "go copy content from some other website, then paste it here".
