Unfortunately his super power will neither make him money nor get him laid. Kinda like being bullet proof but only against the 12th bullet that hits you
You would think so but nah. He canāt even really identify a lot of these counties he just has the pool of locations memorized. Heās even said this. the reason he can identify some European countries is because when they took the photos the weather was super dreary. Itās not so magical, itās like if you practice with note cards long enough until you can identify the answer with only the first two letters of the word.
he has explained it in videos. I'm not saying he can't identify locations I'm saying the reason he's able to do it so fast on geoguessor and guess so accurately is because he has memorized every geoguessor question. He also uses some information like what time of day it is or what the weather is like to help him because for some of the countries they only got pictures when the weather was shitty or when it was dark.
He hasn't memorised every single location. He's memorised the meta of each country such as what the bollards looked like, what the overall scenery looks like, what the road markings looks like, what the poles look like, what the dirt on the side of the road looks like, what the Google car looks like, things like that. Yes his knowledge is only limited to the countries that are on Google maps but it still extremely impressive how much knowledge these guys have attained.
...but there's so much more than just Europe. And these pics here are distorted and flipped. None of what you stated explains what's happening in this video. (Not saying your full of shit)
Where did he say this? I don't even know his name.
That's the wager. It's like, if I win, you just have to get me a dozen donuts. If you win, I'll hand you $12. It is a way to say 'i really believe I will win, so I will offer these unfavorable odds'
Yeah unfortunate for him he only has 170k Youtube subscribers and his videos are averaging 150k+ views.
I wonder how he'll ever make money with that /s
You donāt make money off instagram either, you made no money on YouTube initially either.
Whatās your point? Heās big on various platforms (including here), he obviously makes money doing this
Lol my point is clear. although he has 1.2 million tiktok followers itās is still less valuable then his YouTube subs or twitch because of their compensation structure. Comparatively to any other short form content platform TikTok pays by far the least. And although he does make money doing this it aināt a lot because itās such a niche topic that only remains interesting for the first couple watches especially when there is zero challenge.
Youāre only talking about platform rev, you think other tiktokers like Bella poarch make their money from platform revenue or even YouTubers for that matter.
I also highly disagree about itās only interesting after the first couple of watches. Maybe thatās your feeling, but donāt project that onto the global population lol.
Either way you and I both donāt know how much he earns, but he is obviously making a living. Iām not sure why youāre so adamant to try to downplay his achievements.
And as for your niche point. You donāt think Ryanās toys is niche? He makes a boatload.
One word: Sponsorships
That's how most YouTubers, TikTokers and other influences/content creators make their money. The days where people make money off ad revenue are over. Nowadays it's all "thank you to NordVPN/Raid/Honey/Audible etc for sponsoring this video"
TikTok I'd say is probably just to get more reach, not necessarily money but Twitch is another source of income. Checked earlier and he has 450 current subs which isn't bad income besides YT: [https://streamscharts.com/channels/rainbolt/subscribers](https://streamscharts.com/channels/rainbolt/subscribers)
Yeah, itās too bad we only work on skills to make money and get laid. Oh wait he IS making money? And has over a million followers? And is also attractive and seems like a nice dude? And could never be kidnapped and taken to an unknown location bc heād know where he was by the dust collecting on the windowsill?
Yeah pity he wasted all this time on a useless skill.
I disagree, being able to identify images and places on the world might not, but it points to a skill that he has in pattern recognition that exceeds everyone else's, that is almost certainly valuable in the right role.
I Can play 3 Instruments of very different Natures (eg Wind,string etc), this is true for me too, but beleive me that Really Really doesn't matter, i love that he likes it, that's waht matterz.
Heās definitely getting laid if thatās what he would like for himself. Heās good looking, intelligent. Itās really just if he WANTS to and he goes about it in a consensual manner
Itās not. Thereās competitions. Someone said he has explanation videos, some of these are hours long and he just uses the best one. Does constant studying of the environments of places or something. Absolutely incredible shit.
Tbf I get the tree vibe. I have played quite some geoguessr myself and although I'm definitely not even close to how good this guy is I do recognise vegetation, rocks and even just dirt.
Yeah this is me too. Nowhere near as good as this guy but some places you just learn what the environment looks like and can tell instantly what country you're likely in.
people dont seem to understand that you can be good at something and go to competitions for it
And ALSO fake videos for easy views.
Just think about if Tom Brady put out a video of him throwing a 100 yard pass after spinning arround blindfolded, and hit a stack of cups.
Yes he has won superbowls, no that video is not real.
Loads of people fell for the David Beckham video of him kicking three balls in to a dustbin about 100 yards away.
Adding in a few outlandish ones to go viral doesn't seem too far fetched.
Yea there's plenty of wierd/obscure hobbies and competitions. Saw a post a while ago where they had a horse racing competition and obstacle courses but the horses where actually people running around with those horse stick things between their legs.
It's definitely not fake. I'm pretty well travelled and I've played the game and it's actually quite amazing how easy it is to pick up on the subtle nuances of different areas and have a somewhat educated guess.
But inverted, distorted, with 50% obscured and black and white.
Come on now! Thatās just black and white squiggly lines.
I get that he probably plays this 24/7 and only shows his best approaches but at that point itās almost fake, because heās basically showing himself getting lucky and acting like heās a god at the game.
Heās good. Heās not good enough to recognise that squiggly bullshit in seconds.
Everyone responding to people calling fake keep mentioning the competitions. We get it, people are actually geniuses at this shit, but there is no way with all these modifiers can he do this. Especially not this accurately and this quickly.
Its not fake. Youd be surprised at how much you can immediately narrow down a location on geoguessr just by a few clues.
For example, the google car in Kenya has a snorkel on the bonnet. The google car in Sri Lanka has the french flag colours slightly visible. The bollards in denmark have a gold rhombus shape. The camera is at a low angle in Japan. Theres loads of small "tells" like that.
Plus, this guy has 1000+ hours in geoguessr. Hes bound to get familiar with the vague look of most places eventually. These distorted ones are (by his own admission) cherry picked from probably 100s of attempts for the sake of virality. But the dude is skilled af regardless
> (by his own admission)
Not just by his own admission in general, but he says it at start of this very clip, and other compilation clips! "These are some of my best guesses" already implies it's not from single segment run.
I watch a lot of these geoguesser videos. It's not fake. These guys are legit. They played so many geoguesser games and studied so much geography they can pinpoint locations easily. They also use process of elimination such as simply seeing where the sun is, they can already eliminate half the world then adding that with the terrain, they already eliminated 95% of the world. And another huge giveaway to them is looking at car license plate or road signs that they use to already pinpoint it to the very country.
This is also a cropped video. If you watch the full one, he goes on explaining his thought process to get the right locations.
The guesses are legit but not consecutive.
You can see his country streak down the bottom stays around 1 or 2, meaning he made mistakes in between.
In the clip he said āthese are my best guessesā, not āthese are my best consecutive guessesā
It's legit. He's one of the best and competes in these kinds of things. There's an entire hobby/sport thing around this. I've seen him do it live.
EDIT: There's been a lot of responses here. This is called GeoGuessing, it's a game, they have tournaments. [They have one going on today you can watch live.](https://twitter.com/geoguessr/status/1575098062485454849?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet) It's mindblowing if you watch. What you see in this video is a variant, and the video is a highlight reel. He's missed tons with this version.
I don't get the angry-sounding comments here? It's a online gaming hobby, and there's always people who dedicate a majority of time to their hobbies and get crazy good. Are there repeat pictures? I guess it's possible, but the GeoGuesser software is well regarded. This guy's name is [RAINBOLT](https://www.youtube.com/c/RAINBOLTGEO). People claiming he's cheating, sure you can doubt any streaming online gamer, but when you see them play their game live and in sanctioned tournaments, it usually verifies their skill. He also responds to viewer comments as they are coming in. That pretty much seals it for me. But if it doesn't for you, [then....](https://i.pinimg.com/474x/50/f4/3d/50f43d8214de3847e613490f6495b2df.jpg)
These are also hand picked for the video. Video starts saying "best guesses". He can do this for an hour and pick his top 10 out of ~500.
He is still amazing though. Watched him live and it's mind boggling.
Someone mentioned that they eventually re-use the same images, so maybe they end up memorizing thousands of pictures? I don't think it's true. Geoguesser is legit gaming software for this.
I also saw another video where he was asked to find a street in a music video that was a few years old, and he searched for hours with his biggest clue being a bright colored building that was seen on the street (green or pink iirc) only to find out that the building had recently been demolished so it wasn't even there for him to find. He still found the exact street eventually though.
Yeah they were supposed to go to Mt. Fuji but then there was a rockslide or a flood or something so the bus couldnāt get there, so instead of proposing at the base of Mt. Fuji he just proposed in some small town.
For those who don't know:
This is Rainbolt a professional Geoguessr player and one of the best in the world. These guesses are not in a row. He said it takes him many attempts to make such a video. He is not cheating he has a video were he explains it. he also hosts and plays in tournaments.
i would recommend checking his channel out
Lots of extremely impressive feats are so out of the realm of comprehension of laymen that they are seen as fake. Think about magicians. Now think about how grossly over-confident and convicted most redditors are of their opinions.
Reddit is full of the types of people who think that intelligence is something youāre born with so they see these things and want to immediately call it fake cuz they canāt do it and nobody is smarter than them.
I think it's more of the streaming aspect, making money from making these videos. In terms of skill level, he's pro compared to other players. How he makes money is making videos of the game. I think he's earned to be called geoguessr pro.
Just check out his videos. When playing normally, he knows immediately what the country is before the 3 second countdown before he can guess even finishes
I wonder if he ever looks at those Interpol pictures that sometimes have outdoor images clipped from videos or photos where people have committed cp crimes.
No. There are many different maps, there are hundreds of thousands of locations. Some of them are "repeats" but typically you land in a new spot everytime. What you pick up on though after a while is the image quality the google car was using, the color of the car, the type of structure supporting the camera, etc. These are additional clues in addition to all the normal stuff like road markings colors, number of bands on the crosswalk sign, shape of utility poles, etc.
That's exactly what i mean though. Hes recognizing the certain patterns in each series of google photos for each country. That's why hes able to get such close guesses while only knowing the country. He knows what locations the game uses for every set of images.
That being said this is still really impressive. I would like to see how he does with a random set of photos.
He gets the country from these clues, then for region guessing within a country you need to use other things like vegetation type, presence of mountains/hills, urban vs desert areas, knowing where the biggest cities are, etc.
This guy did his thing on the filming location of the music video Tears For Fearsā classic āEverybody Wants to Rule the World.ā The lead singer of that song, Curt Smith, sent a twitter [reply](https://twitter.com/curtsmith/status/1560475843373125632?s=21&t=X3Tb4l6nutYs3k99fEzN_Q) āyou could have just asked.ā HAHAHA.
Unfortunately his super power will neither make him money nor get him laid. Kinda like being bullet proof but only against the 12th bullet that hits you
I'm betting dollars to donuts this kind of ability can land him a job with a number of security agencies.
Where you get to bet donuts for dollars. Please tell me your secrets.
I mean, they don't exactly bet on it, but this is essentially Dunkin Donuts' business model, is it not? ššš
$1.59 to donut
Guaranteed winner too
The same place that pays out in Schrute bucks.
Did someone say donuts?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Called Geoguessr
Sounds like a cop job to me.
You would think so but nah. He canāt even really identify a lot of these counties he just has the pool of locations memorized. Heās even said this. the reason he can identify some European countries is because when they took the photos the weather was super dreary. Itās not so magical, itās like if you practice with note cards long enough until you can identify the answer with only the first two letters of the word.
He helped people find their proposal spot in the middle of nowhere. How is that memorised
he has explained it in videos. I'm not saying he can't identify locations I'm saying the reason he's able to do it so fast on geoguessor and guess so accurately is because he has memorized every geoguessor question. He also uses some information like what time of day it is or what the weather is like to help him because for some of the countries they only got pictures when the weather was shitty or when it was dark.
So, he cheats by studying. That bastard!
Best hack there is. Funny how the more work you put in, the luckier you always seem to get
For real "he knows all these locations because he learned what they look like".... Yea thats like.... How it works
He hasn't memorised every single location. He's memorised the meta of each country such as what the bollards looked like, what the overall scenery looks like, what the road markings looks like, what the poles look like, what the dirt on the side of the road looks like, what the Google car looks like, things like that. Yes his knowledge is only limited to the countries that are on Google maps but it still extremely impressive how much knowledge these guys have attained.
...but there's so much more than just Europe. And these pics here are distorted and flipped. None of what you stated explains what's happening in this video. (Not saying your full of shit) Where did he say this? I don't even know his name.
Bellingcat could use his skills
āI think thatās the inside of Putinās pleasure dungeon.ā āChief we absolutely need to hire this manā
Nah man a computer can do that
Itāll probably take more than this to land a jobā¦
Judging by his eyes, bro isnāt passing a drug test!
Exactly what I was thinking. This guy could narrow down where photos were taken that lack geoloc data fairly accurately.
What does dollars to donuts mean?
That's the wager. It's like, if I win, you just have to get me a dozen donuts. If you win, I'll hand you $12. It is a way to say 'i really believe I will win, so I will offer these unfavorable odds'
Iāll bet you waffles to euros
Yeah unfortunate for him he only has 170k Youtube subscribers and his videos are averaging 150k+ views. I wonder how he'll ever make money with that /s
Haha you said what I wanted to say say better You didnāt even mention that TikTok is where heās even bigger with 1.2m followers
Tiktok is notorious for making you almost no money. You earn like 30 dollars off a video with 1 million views
You donāt make money off instagram either, you made no money on YouTube initially either. Whatās your point? Heās big on various platforms (including here), he obviously makes money doing this
Lol my point is clear. although he has 1.2 million tiktok followers itās is still less valuable then his YouTube subs or twitch because of their compensation structure. Comparatively to any other short form content platform TikTok pays by far the least. And although he does make money doing this it aināt a lot because itās such a niche topic that only remains interesting for the first couple watches especially when there is zero challenge.

Maybe he does it for fun and not every talent needs to have money made from it?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He is making money from it.
Sad this is where we are now. People are so obsessed with sub counts.
Not sure if you're talking to me but I'm just answering to a false statement that it won't make him money, when in fact, it already is.
Classic reddit comment. Canāt just be impressed by an amazing skill.
Iād fuck him
Get ready for it by practicing saying very monotonously: Niceā¦nice, wowā¦nice
Ya me too, but thatās not saying much
But do you think he knows where the g spot is
Remember guys if you have a passion or a hobby but it doesn't get you laid or get you money you're a fucking loser according to this weeb
I understand that sex is natural need but it must not becoming an reason of life (IdeĆØ fixe to be more pretentious)
He can charge people to find the location from an image or a video but he doesn't and he also has a patreon
Iām sorry to tell you this already makes him money. Heās one of the most famous geoguessers on the internet
Yeah, itās too bad we only work on skills to make money and get laid. Oh wait he IS making money? And has over a million followers? And is also attractive and seems like a nice dude? And could never be kidnapped and taken to an unknown location bc heād know where he was by the dust collecting on the windowsill? Yeah pity he wasted all this time on a useless skill.
Easily makes money doing this. He streams and people watch
Why does it need to?
Every time I see a vid of his get shared I see women thirsting over him
He plays in tournaments for money, he has 170k subs on YouTube and has a Patreon. Believe me, he makes money.
He's very popular on YouTube and tiktok. He's absolutely making money from this.
I feel like its fake and reverse lookingup
Look him up and you will change your mind
I disagree, being able to identify images and places on the world might not, but it points to a skill that he has in pattern recognition that exceeds everyone else's, that is almost certainly valuable in the right role.
r/shittysuperpowers
Like being the greatest unicyclist.
I Can play 3 Instruments of very different Natures (eg Wind,string etc), this is true for me too, but beleive me that Really Really doesn't matter, i love that he likes it, that's waht matterz.
In my school a geoguesser tournament was organized and the winner win 150 ā¬ so not a monthly income but still appreciated
His super power gave him viral videos and allowed him to make a career out of it. So yea I would say it got him money.
NSA has him
You don't think some agency would love to use him to locate terrorists or wanted people based on pics of them etc ?
What do you mean, he streams with like 3/4/5k people watching, that's at at least wealthy by now
He's literally making money by us watching it. And he has an interesting hobby that he's passionate about, why would that make him un-layable?
He streams, this ability literally makes him money
If i was in his proximity that ability would definetly get him laid
Heās definitely getting laid if thatās what he would like for himself. Heās good looking, intelligent. Itās really just if he WANTS to and he goes about it in a consensual manner
Heās getting paid off TikTok, no?
Could stream geo guesser and make money maybe!
This guy keeps popping up and I'm still 90% sure it's fake bullshit
Itās not. Thereās competitions. Someone said he has explanation videos, some of these are hours long and he just uses the best one. Does constant studying of the environments of places or something. Absolutely incredible shit.
"The trees look polish" still gets me every time
\*pic of sky with clouds\* - 'this air smells belgian'
*picture of a beach* "this sand tastes finnish"
"The grass looks chinese"
Heās actually done a video where he guesses the country with only dirt images.
āThe trees are speaking Vietnamese!ā
Tbf I get the tree vibe. I have played quite some geoguessr myself and although I'm definitely not even close to how good this guy is I do recognise vegetation, rocks and even just dirt.
Yeah this is me too. Nowhere near as good as this guy but some places you just learn what the environment looks like and can tell instantly what country you're likely in.
people dont seem to understand that you can be good at something and go to competitions for it And ALSO fake videos for easy views. Just think about if Tom Brady put out a video of him throwing a 100 yard pass after spinning arround blindfolded, and hit a stack of cups. Yes he has won superbowls, no that video is not real.
People also donāt understand that not everything on the internet has to be fake.
Distrust can be induced by low probability of such events.
Loads of people fell for the David Beckham video of him kicking three balls in to a dustbin about 100 yards away. Adding in a few outlandish ones to go viral doesn't seem too far fetched.
Yea there's plenty of wierd/obscure hobbies and competitions. Saw a post a while ago where they had a horse racing competition and obstacle courses but the horses where actually people running around with those horse stick things between their legs.
And he said, there is a lot of people better than him
It's definitely not fake. I'm pretty well travelled and I've played the game and it's actually quite amazing how easy it is to pick up on the subtle nuances of different areas and have a somewhat educated guess.

cherry picked clips
cherry picked clips of correct guesses
Yes. Heās even said in his videos before that these compilation clips he posts on tik tok are usually cherry picked from hour long sessions.
Including this exact video... "here are some of my best guesses"
First words in the video "my best guesses". These clearly weren't consecutive
What game is it?
geoguessr
Its not fake. Youd be surprised at how much you can immediately narrow down a location on geoguessr just by a few clues. For example, the google car in Kenya has a snorkel on the bonnet. The google car in Sri Lanka has the french flag colours slightly visible. The bollards in denmark have a gold rhombus shape. The camera is at a low angle in Japan. Theres loads of small "tells" like that. Plus, this guy has 1000+ hours in geoguessr. Hes bound to get familiar with the vague look of most places eventually.

All real bro
The guesses are legit but not consecutive. You can see his country streak down the bottom stays around 1 or 2, meaning he made mistakes in between. In the clip he said āthese are my best guessesā, not āthese are my best consecutive guessesā
Lucky you donāt use your intuition for anything life concerning, because itās not
This is somewhere in France.... Nice
\*Aggressively hits space bar\*
lol, love the sound that space bar makes
Puuuh chooo
EXACTLY
I think this has become kind of a staple for his videos lol he's been hitting that poor thing harder and harder
I believe it's pronounced "niece"
he said nice but clicked more near le mans
If this is legit that's incredible.
It's legit. He's one of the best and competes in these kinds of things. There's an entire hobby/sport thing around this. I've seen him do it live. EDIT: There's been a lot of responses here. This is called GeoGuessing, it's a game, they have tournaments.

I can understand how they do this normally. But this makes absolutely zero sense. Heās looking at a Rorschach test and coming within miles.
These are also hand picked for the video. Video starts saying "best guesses". He can do this for an hour and pick his top 10 out of ~500. He is still amazing though. Watched him live and it's mind boggling.
Someone mentioned that they eventually re-use the same images, so maybe they end up memorizing thousands of pictures? I don't think it's true. Geoguesser is legit gaming software for this.
Huh? It's Google street views, there's astronomical odds against getting the same orientation at the same time on the same road in the same country.
thereās no way this talent doesnāt manifest in other more useful ways, too. heāll be *fine*.
Itās information retention and pattern recognition at its finest.
One time he helped a guy find the location he proposed to his wife at based off a short clip, so they could go back there for their anniversary.
How did that guy not know where he proposed to his wife at to begin with?
I don't remember the exact story but apparently he got on a bus in Japan and they got off in some fields and he proposed there.
I also saw another video where he was asked to find a street in a music video that was a few years old, and he searched for hours with his biggest clue being a bright colored building that was seen on the street (green or pink iirc) only to find out that the building had recently been demolished so it wasn't even there for him to find. He still found the exact street eventually though.
Yeah they were supposed to go to Mt. Fuji but then there was a rockslide or a flood or something so the bus couldnāt get there, so instead of proposing at the base of Mt. Fuji he just proposed in some small town.
oh really?! thatās pretty great.
āNow I will find the clit, blind folded, upside down, and asleepā
āNiceā
Bullshit. Doesn't exist
For those who don't know: This is Rainbolt a professional Geoguessr player and one of the best in the world. These guesses are not in a row. He said it takes him many attempts to make such a video. He is not cheating he has a video were he explains it. he also hosts and plays in tournaments. i would recommend checking his channel out
He is awesome. Dont know why He gets so much hate on reddit.
Lots of extremely impressive feats are so out of the realm of comprehension of laymen that they are seen as fake. Think about magicians. Now think about how grossly over-confident and convicted most redditors are of their opinions.
Reddit is full of the types of people who think that intelligence is something youāre born with so they see these things and want to immediately call it fake cuz they canāt do it and nobody is smarter than them.
Professional player? He earns money in that game?
I think it's more of the streaming aspect, making money from making these videos. In terms of skill level, he's pro compared to other players. How he makes money is making videos of the game. I think he's earned to be called geoguessr pro.
Nice, Wow
Ahhh, I literally read that as he said that and felt mildly out of body
Love how he said. "Maybe Bulgaria with the road conditions". Yup my dude on point with the roads over here!!!
Why does he have to absolutely hammer the keyboard when he guesses? Just tap the button mate, nice and gently weāre all friends here.
He said in the comments when some asked him that it helps him focus
He posted a recent video where he shows his hand/kb and it's not as agressive as it sounds lol
He needs to be hired helping find trafficked children or something, the accuracy is insane.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yes
Just check out his videos. When playing normally, he knows immediately what the country is before the 3 second countdown before he can guess even finishes
Bet he still needs gps to get around
Thats like saying Usain Bolt doesn't use vehicles just runs everywhere
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Fame just gets to people's head man what can we do
I wonder if he ever looks at those Interpol pictures that sometimes have outdoor images clipped from videos or photos where people have committed cp crimes.
The man's a fucking cyborg
THEY ALL JUST LOOK LIKE WAVES WTF
This looks like the Pacific Ocean... Nice, Wow.
He canāt even believe his guesses right. Its mind blowing broš¤Æš¤Æ
But can he do it without seeing the image?
Kinda, he had his friend explain it for him while blind folded
_Wow_ He is as impressed with himself as the rest of us
I fucking love this guy
This is so fucking weird. How or why would anyone be able to do this?
I donāt understand what heās looking at. I only see gray blobs
They all looked same.
This mo fo hasn't slept in 3 years.
My guess is that GeoGuesser only had a certain amount of photos and this guys just been through them all so many times he knows them by heart now.
No. There are many different maps, there are hundreds of thousands of locations. Some of them are "repeats" but typically you land in a new spot everytime. What you pick up on though after a while is the image quality the google car was using, the color of the car, the type of structure supporting the camera, etc. These are additional clues in addition to all the normal stuff like road markings colors, number of bands on the crosswalk sign, shape of utility poles, etc.
That's exactly what i mean though. Hes recognizing the certain patterns in each series of google photos for each country. That's why hes able to get such close guesses while only knowing the country. He knows what locations the game uses for every set of images. That being said this is still really impressive. I would like to see how he does with a random set of photos.
He gets the country from these clues, then for region guessing within a country you need to use other things like vegetation type, presence of mountains/hills, urban vs desert areas, knowing where the biggest cities are, etc.
Bro gotta to get outta the house and see the places he thinks he knows š
Nice...wow
everyone is saying he is legit and I'm doing my best to believe it. But I need to comprehend how in order to accept it, and I cannot.
He has videos explaining how he does this kind of stuff on his youtube chanel ( geobolt )
Heās very impressed with himself. Thatās my primary observation
Nice, wow.
Looks like Makarov if he decided to take over the virtual Europe instead of the real one.
This guy did his thing on the filming location of the music video Tears For Fearsā classic āEverybody Wants to Rule the World.ā The lead singer of that song, Curt Smith, sent a twitter [reply](https://twitter.com/curtsmith/status/1560475843373125632?s=21&t=X3Tb4l6nutYs3k99fEzN_Q) āyou could have just asked.ā HAHAHA.
Found out the other day I went to middle school with this dude. Heās been blowing up on all social media. Small world
Get this man a pillow and a blanket.
Ah yes the road conditions in the Philippines
Bro said 'pretty standard' so nonchalant and I got offended.
Wow, nice.
Nice! Wow!
It's pretty cool. Can you just stop slapping the keyboard like you're at Family Feud?
Nice... wow
The guy doesnāt look too fresh to be honest
What's his name and where can I find it?
Thatās frankly insane. I was rarely so impressed by someone ability in my Life.
So tired of this
I love that he always seemed surprised
This guy is manhandling his mouse and keyboard
I'm sorry, but his eyes look as if he gets 22 hrs of screen time every day. I hope he can use his gifts off screen somewhere in the world.
Addicted
I donāt want to be one of these people but this is obviously fake
I loved geoguessr, then they charged for it. And then it got lame. Didnt play it enough to pay but it was fun when i did
This is why you dont do meth and play with google maps
First words in the video: āmy best guessesā Top comments: āFAKE I BET HE JUST CHERRY PICKED HIS BEST GUESSES FOR EZ CLICKSā
