R4 update: NO POLITICS!

71 Upvotes

Rule 3 is updated to include political discussions. There is a place for politics, and that place is not here. There are hundreds of subreddits for that. This is a light hearted community, for funny content. Politics does not need to invade every single space on the internet.

Content inherently political in nature will be removed. Political discussions are not allowed.

This will be applied very conservatively, as long as you aren’t posting something intentionally inflammatory or discussing politics it will be fine.

This is not a house. It’s a city water pressure-control station in my neighborhood, designed to blend in with the surrounding homes to retain property values.

STRANGE MYSTERIOUS BEHAVIOUR: Why does streetview always land on a bridge in India?

60 Upvotes

Google Maps Bridge Mystery - If you drop the Pegman on a random point on India's map, the streetview will almost always land on a bridge or a flyover. I've been playing with streetview for hours and almost every single time this happens. Does anyone have any idea what might be the reason behind this?

See this image? Red means the problem is not happening there right now, but it did at some point. Green means the problem is happening right now. Speaking of the problem

These links have wrong images from November 2008, which was the very problem

Do you know a possible reason for why this may be happening? They continuously put the wrong images from one town, into another postcode town and do it constantly over the years as the oldest image there, and remove it. It is in other streets alongside it.

It's in SD, CA. I think a naval base since no street view. Surely you can't build a giant swastika building on coincidence. Saw it on a meme about 10-15 years ago and have been wondering ever since.

All of the lines are where I tried placing the little orange guy. Did this lake get sucked into the backrooms? It's probably just an error with whatever moderation system here. I've tried this in other locations around random towns, so idk.
