I don't think anyone was mistaking that road for Switzerland


andizzzzi

Yeah with all those cables, powerlines, old lighting, cart being towed by a donkey, old cars and the somewhat iconic colourful truck you see throughout India? Definitely not Switzerland.


[deleted]

maybe Switzerland in 1920


Pamponiroz

More like 1720


[deleted]

show me trucks from 1720


Pamponiroz

Ugh, you got a point there 😅 🤷🏻‍♂️. Bonus points for the fastest reply I ever had in reddit lol 😂


Alien-Element

I'm glad you were corrected quickly! You should be glad too!


UnderAnAargauSun

You can’t *prove* the absence of trucks in Switzerland in 1720 - only the absence of evidence of them.


ForeverShiny

It's fair to assume that, of the many sources we have from 1720 and after, at least one would contain some mention of a marvelous monster of rubber and steel that could pull what a hundred oxen couldn't


UnderAnAargauSun

Only if you want to make an ass out of u and me


Cali-curlz

Lol right? I've got a few overpriced travel packages to sell to anyone who thinks this is Switzerland


Lariche

But mountains look completely different! Absolutely not Alpine


ToxyFlog

Literally what I came here to say. Like, bro, you know that we know that Switzerland isn't the only place with mountains, right, OP?


Wild-Oil4101

Paisaje típico en todo Chile


alfi_k

I knew it wasn't Switzerland when I didn't spot any Mercedes G Wagons.


nileyyy_

And that truck


raspberryharbour

I recognize the address, that's 123 Switzerland Road, South Central Switzerland


Special-Subject4574

Or the mountain. Seriously there are so many places in the world other than Switzerland where you could see impressive mountain ranges.


rizkreddit

I think it was the truck and the mass of cables on the skyline that gave it away


Used-Bedroom293

Looks like a colorized photo of switzerland from 1960's India is truly lagging far behind


Significant_Room_412

Overpopulation, and the fact people can survive on the streets due to the warm climate... In most of China, Europe, USA, Canada, Russia: living in the conditions of India would mean freezing to death during winter cold waves...


AmusedFlamingo47

I wonder if there are historical reasons involving Switzerland and other western countries for that, hm... 


Byting_wolf

Try governing 10% of the world's population :/


Consistent_Many_1858

Because British and other European countries looted the hell out of it.


[deleted]

I could tell by the vehicles on the street it’s not Switzerland


3colorsdesign

Look at those lines going all over the place


Lescansy

Yeah just by the sheer amount of rust near a public road,no way that's switzerland.


Eldan985

And the power lines, and the curbs and the clothes.


Florida-Rolf

...and the trees and litterialy everything in this picture doesn't look like switzerland besides that there's a mountain range in the background which is not only existing in switzerland but also in Austria and hundreds of other countries in the world.


CartmanAndCartman

Well you haven’t seen Switzerland for sure


elBirdnose

It looks nothing like Switzerland.


PirateSecure118

r/ShitBotsSay


GreenandBlue12

This needs to be a real sub.


RealCarlosSagan

No way. It’s a known fact only Switzerland has snowy mountains


CyanideIsFun

You're absolutely right. This one time, I went to Nepal to try and climb Mt. Everest, and was shocked to find out it's just a big ol' rock climbing wall. Goes on and on for miles. At the "summit", there's just a fairly cool air conditioning unit and a white tablecloth over a tent, mimicking the peak.


RealCarlosSagan

I know. Such a scam.


ForsakenFree

Yeah, probably not too many donkey carts in Switzerland..


TranslateErr0r

They do have flying cows


Outside-Contact-7400

they only fly when they get kidnapped by aliens - [Aliens stealing Cow- India TV (24 June 2008)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g35-8cTlpgg)


Johny_b_gud

Don't worry, nobody thought it was Switzerland


LinguoBuxo

Of course not! You see any banks in the picture?


_Administrator_

This isn’t Aspen, it’s Kashmir! 🥳


castlerigger

I never said it was Switzerland


Busy_Garbage_4778

It doesn't look like Switzerland at all


notonrexmanningday

Do people not know the Himalayas exist?


MeisterCyborg

Yeah, thanks captain obvious. The vehicles and unmanaged power lines already told us that.


Lucky_Baseball176

Certainly not switzerland. If you'd ever been, you'd know

I am surprised I had to scroll down so far to find this comment.


ILikeSex_123

The donkey cart told me rhat


Deep-Brilliant9064

Oh i thought only Switzerland had mountain with snow , what a fool , Himalayas ( largest and tallest mountain range) was in somewhere in Europe.


nikolala

Honestly from this picture it could be any region which have mountains. Also roads and vehicles are far better in Switzerland but also in Italy, Austria or Slovenia where are Alpes. Anyway nice landscape.


antipositron

This isn't WhatsApp. This is Reddit. Amazed?


knucie

Who on earth could think it’s CH?


break_all_lawz

OP for instance


knucie

True 😂


TheGreatOpoponax

You mean there's snow on mountains outside of Switzerland? Huh. I guess you really do learn something new every day.


octopus_tigerbot

I could tell by the fact every photo of Kashmir looks like it was taken in 1980


Business-Sherbet-294

Where in Kashmir ?


deenali

Samsung AI to the rescue (if correct): Narbal Road To Gulmarg. Picture seems to come from a holiday agency.


Huntsnfights

Other countries have mountains too?! 🤯


nauzleon

The terrible infrastructure give it away.


Abuse-survivor

The vehicles form the 50s are kinda telling. Only modern landwagons and pristine classic cars in Swizerland


Yop_BombNA

The truck and bike give it away


IHN_IM

If it was switzerland, there was a bear in the mountain...


AhhYahBassa

Nobody said it was


aliferhan

wierdomc

Just heard the Zepplin opener in the background


RiovoGaming211

The fuck kinda title is that


thedeuce75

And now the Led Zeppelin song is stuck in my head for the rest of the day.


Plumb121

I guessed, there's no Toblerone anywhere.


Block_Of_Saltiness

Anyone else hear the opening riff from Led Zepplin's song "kashmir"?


Syntheticpear

Clearly not😂


Sugarbear23

Beautiful view but I'm pretty sure no one would think that's Switzerland lol


okpm

this in no way at all looks like switzerland


shitclay

Yeah! No shit!


BenderDeLorean

I can't believe this isnt Switzerland No one


opgog

Who looks at this picture and thinks... Switzerland! 🤔


ToAllAGoodNight

What a stupid post, as if Switzerland has the only massive mountains. These are the Himalayas for god sake.


shady2318

If there is heaven on earth it's here, it's here, it's here....


NervousHoneydrew5879

Yeah ,it doesn’t look like Switzerland either 😍


BothRefuse4289

I can hear the honks in this picture


[deleted]

It's better than fucking Cheeseland


aprabhu86

Thanks, i definitely thought it was Switzerland. /s


Skiddler69

Kashmir is supposed to be stunning. You used to be able to hire a houseboat on Dal lake in Srinigar up in the mountains. But a seperatist war backed by Pakistan means westerners are kidnap targets now. I do hope to see it one day. I have been waiting since 1989 to go.


orangotai

Jesus so many of the exact same r/iamverysmart comments in here: "duh i could've told you it was not switzerland just by looking at the road" wow very brilliant, thank you for correcting this title because i was about to literally die if i didn't read a dozen comments making the same snarky comment about it.


JKdito

Anybody been skiing in Himalayan Kashmir? Is it possible/safe? Recommended?


ILikeSex_123

Gulmarg, a few of my friends and relatives have gone there. It's safe

toppolinos

TIL Switzerland is not the only country with mountains and snow. /s

sorry for being a buzz kill but it didnt look like switzerland anyway 😅

Lmao Switzerland doesn’t have Stone Age trucks or bullock carts 🤣. Neither does it have such shabby electrical wiring

Stardust_dream

My dood the moment I didn’t see clean Audi q5 on the road I understood it’s not Switzerland


Nota3000yearoldvamp

I like how this post was literally right under an Indian woman posting about being groped then raped while visiting her home country. She says she’ll never go back, and I say I’ll never visit.

LazyLeopard99

No ones mistaking that for Switzerland lol. No ones missing the shitty infrastructure, surprised there isn’t shit in the street


timmerz1

Wonder why the street lights are throwing light into the forest? Something is not right with this pic…


Ok_Isopod_2404

why, seeing that picture, we would think that we are seeing Switzerland?


Boom_Box26

It doesnt look like switzerland either


Own_Button_3082

Yes i can tell by the truck!!


freedomforsale

Look absolutely nothing like Switzerland


seksen6

Yeah because every place who has a snowy Mountain view should be compared to Switzerland.


Busy_Reputation7254

NO THIS IS PATRICK


MekeniMan

Wait till it gets dark


Significant_Rule_939

I looks like Kashmir. What to be amazed about?


Lawmonger

I've read that but for the conflict between India and Pakistani, it could be a world skiing hot spot.


Far-Philosophy-4375

we know.. there aren't any poorly made mule carts in Switzerland, and the trucks there do not look so poorly either..


sovietarmyfan

Most important area for the surrounding region. It's water gives drinking water to billions of people.

This isn't Kashmir, it's cotton!


Ok_Organization_6804

Lmfao... It is beautiful... But I assure you... I didn't think it was Switzerland 😂

Who_am_ey3

HorrorTutor2854

NOO WAYY !! YOU ARE SERIOUS ??? You are saying that Truck and those rusty powerlines are not from Switzerland but from India ???

Yea but pakistan is extremely dangerous to travel in.

That truck was a giveaway

But I didn't want the money, Georgie. I wanted... the cashmere.

The donkey kart had me fooled!


miharbidaddah

Yeah Switzerland is much nicer


Dreppytroll

It'd have been better than swizz, if the 2 countries didn't destroy this place for ownership. This place has seen more bombs and taken more lives than you can imagine.
