With COVID has come a complete inability to responsibly travel the world in person.

I recently started going to Google Maps, and just exploring. Restaurant reviews from South Dakota, customer reviews of spas in Malaysia, thousands of pictures of any landmark you can name.

For example, I found this new story from a random pizza place that had bad reviews:

https://boston.cbslocal.com/2010/11/17/i-team-boston-pizza-store-scam/

quote:

After hearing these complaints the I-Team decided to place a late night order for a large cheese pizza. We asked several times how much it would be to have it delivered to an Allston apartment, but couldn’t get a straight answer.

Our producer was told the pizza would cost $12.95 and that there would be a delivery charge. That amount would be determined by their computer and we were told we would be notified by the delivery person.

The driver showed up with a large number of items, including the pizza, mozzarella sticks, fries, salad, cheesecake and soda. When told that we hadn’t ordered anything but the pizza, the driver said the food was “left over from Halloween” and a “free promotion.”

At first the driver would not provide a receipt. He then gave the I-Team producer a blank receipt with no corporate identification. When pressed for an amount, the driver quickly wrote in $18.50.

Two days later, our credit card statement told a much different story. There were two charges from the Regal totally $81.90, exactly the same as Steve was charged.

get to googling and find me some weird poo poo from the middle of nowhere

A man whose blood
Is very snow-broth;
One who never feels
The wanton stings and
Motions of the sense



I was randomly zooming in on Australia and finding fun weird places I’d like to visit, like this gold mine

I don’t know what’s going on with the colors in this area but I’m interested

Random high quality rectangle in the middle of nowhere in Chad, Africa. Looks like a camel farm or a watering hole or something. Nothing even remotely nearby is nearly that hi-rez. I have no idea why they picked that spot.

About 50 miles northwest in the village of Koro Toro with a buffet restaurant called Calamari & Colostomy Bags. :pwn:
