Post a website, entertain me!

100 but I got lucky. Fracking? That was not in my vocabulary. I also nearly screwed up on the atmospheric gas question.

QS it was the atmo gas question, had a brain fart...

Also spoilers!

I brainfarted the atmosphere question, but got all others correct, including fracking, which I completely guessed.

The Scarfolk Council.

Bits and pieces of daily life from a fictional UK town trapped in the 1970's:

Scarfolk is a town in North West England that did not progress beyond 1979. Instead, the entire decade of the 1970s loops ad infinitum. Here in Scarfolk, pagan rituals blend seamlessly with science; hauntology is a compulsory subject at school, and everyone must be in bed by 8pm because they are perpetually running a slight fever. "Visit Scarfolk today. Our number one priority is keeping rabies at bay." For more information please reread.

Not sure if this goes here or in the image thread:

Animated .gifs of about 100+ fighting game backgrounds (mostly Neo-Geo/SNK ones).

Can't believe how many of those I recognize when I barely ever even played fighting games when I did (which I don't now, as I don't have anyone to play with where that would be enjoyable... don't really want to get divorced).

This is pretty amazing. Time-lapse videos made with Google street view:

I like that the Golden Path is empty. That's hilarious to me.

Gah! Now I have to go figure out how to clear my Amazon history / suggestions.

Go to the Your Account page, near the bottom is a Personalization box, which includes a link to "View and Edit Your Browsing History".

This direct link should work (you may need to log in first):

So you bought the enema and prostate exam simulators?

Timelapse satellite imagery from 1972-2012. Entertaining and depressing!

Can't wait to see the 'Also Bought' sugestions.

Yeah, I figured out the history delete alright. I'm already running an awkward mix of children's books and firearm accessories for my recommendations. I don't need the latex torso with all the parts from both genders hanging around too.

Best, game, ever. So cool.

Edit: Played one game and got 9036 points. I made 1 really bad guess.

Apparently much of Australia looks how I imagine Saharan Africa to look.

Awesome game! I was surprised how close I was with some guesses, even though I ended up with only 6816 points...

I feel like I'm some kind of savant at that game.

Just the opposite for me. I was surprised how far off I was with some of my guesses. My score was only 5354.

One of the images was completely trolly. The photo showed a pickup truck with Bud Light and Budweiser banners visible next to a small, open lot with a somewhat run-down, small building. Obviously that's somewhere in the US and could be just about small town. I put the marker in the middle of the lower 48 states, a little north of Texas. The answer was Alaska.

[edit]

My second attempt was less trolly, resulting in a score of 9019.

You can navigate around the streets of wherever you randomly end up to look for clues but much to my embarrassment even finding a sign with the location's name didn't help me much in some cases, very neat to play around with though.

Woot, I got 10,563

Fun game.

I keep getting open fields with absolutely nothing around. Nothing. Keep thinking it must be the Midwest, but usually turns out to Australia, except when I choose somewhere in Australia because then, it is obviously the Midwest!

Wait, you're allowed to use google?

I've just been best-guessing from my brain and surrounding facts (like flags, signs). Maybe that's why I struggle to break 12000 points. closest I have so far using this method is 13km in Mexico, but it's just blind luck really.

Robear is a cheating cheater! I think the best I did was in the 15,000's, no googling. One of the answers I was within 5 feet at the rest stop on the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge, because I used to ride my bike across the bridge and through the Marin Headlands when I lived out there. I recognized the spot immediately

I've started a thread over in Games and Platforms for GeoGuessr so we can start comparing scores there.

I had one score over 20k that I wish I had recorded. OTOH, my last round gave me a flat, empty field. Ah-ha, I thought and picked Kansas. Nope, Australia. Then it gave me a nearly identical looking field. Won't fool me again, I thought and picked Australia. Yeah, it was Kansas.

Little Dude Says

him: HERE’S DIS CROSS I MADE AT SCHOOL. THEY KILLED CHEESE-ITS WITH IT.
me: You mean Jesus?
him: YEAH I MEAN CHEESE-ITS.
me: Tell me more.
him: THEY HIT HIM WITh DIS CROSS AND HE DIED.
me: That’s not actually true. They nailed his hands and feet to it, and he died.
him: AND THEN THEY CUT OFF HIS ARMS AND ONE OF HIS LEGS.
me: That didn’t happen.
him: AND THEN HE GOT A CANE AND HIT THEM AND KILLED THEM.
me: Pretty sure Jesus never killed anyone. He’s… kind of into the opposite of that.
him: NO HE DID. HE GREWED BACK HIS ARMS AND LEGS AND GOT CANNONS FOR HANDS AND KILLED EVERYBODY.
me: Are you confusing Jesus with Iron Man?
him: UH. MAYBE.
me: Jesus died on the cross. Iron Man has hand cannons and beats bad guys.
him: THEY SAID AT MY SCHOOL THAT CHEESE-ITS CAME BACK TO LIFE.
me: That’s what they say.
him: AND I TOLD THEM ABOUT HIS HAND CANNONS.
me: I bet that was magical.
HIM: YEAH, THEY DIDN’T REALLY KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH ME AFTER THAT. IT WAS PRETTY GOOD.
him: I’M JUST SO SAD BECAUSE I WANT OPTIMUS PRIME.
me: Dude, you have, like, ten Optimuses. Optimii?
him: BUT THIS ONE IS SPECIAL AND HURTS MY HEART.
me: Do you even play with the Optimuses you have? DO YOU EVEN LIFT, BRAH?
him: UGH OF COURSE I LIFT WHY WOULD YOU EVEN ASK ME THAT? MY ARMS ARE SO SO STRONG. I COULD BENCH PRESS YOU FOR CHRISTMAS. *flounces out like a soap opera queen*
me: Flounce much?
him: (from upstairs) YOU’RE NOT INVITED TO THE GUN SHOW.
him: I’M CAPTAIN ALCOHOL!
me: Dude, do you even know what that means?
him: UH, IT MEANS YOU CAN’T DRIVE.
me: True.
him: AND YOU DON’T LIKE IT WHEN I SHOUT ABOUT ALCOHOL AT THE PLAYGROUND. SO IT’S LIKE UNDERWEAR.
me: Um, I guess.
him: WHEN I’M GROWED UP, I’M JUST GOING TO DO UNDERWEAR AND ALCOHOL.
me: Aim higher.
him: I GUESS I COULD ALSO BE THE AVATAR. BUT YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO SHAVE MY HEAD HARDER AND GIVE ME AWESOME TATTOOS. I’M GOING TO BE REALLY BUSY.
