Like weird place names on Google Maps, as an example.
island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island in a lake on an etc.
Lake Superior?
Big Ass Lake
Those photos are crazy
Not a map, but things I’ve seen on the roads in Boston:
- Left turn only from left lane, straight or left from 2nd lane, straight or left from 3rd lane
- Green light and perpendicular traffic coming to me on the cross street, also going, because they also have a green light
- Two lanes, surprise! Lane markers go away it’s one lane, not defined who yields, you guys can work it out
Navigated Boston a few times using only a road map (long time ago). My spouse and I always cite it as proof our relationship can handle anything.
Were you able to find car parking in Harvard Yard?Couldn’t even find Havard.
I’m from Boston and this is painfully accurate. Especially the last line. My last job was a delivery job and me and the other person were constantly questioning if it was one lane or two.
In Kentucky, between Louisville and Frankfort, there is a city called “Simpsonville” and it’s right next to a city called “Shelbyville”.
It even clearly enumerates that they’re rivals, right under Finchville!
That website gave me cancer
I just like those moments on Google Street view when there are people looking right into the Google camera.
Oh, like me? When I saw it coming and threw my arms up and stared at it as it passed.
Oh that was you? I thought I recognized you on that corner of Figueroa and whatever
Florida
“This is Florida! The whole goddamn state is shaped like a gun! You can’t walk to your mailbox without tripping over three of them. God forbid you sell one to a cop!”
There’s a town near where I used to live called Garbutt, it has less than ten residents.
“I live at the intersection between pain and suffering. And no, that’s not metaphorical”
Not “crazy” per se, but west of the Mississippi, cities are set up on a grid, whereas eastern cities look like their planning was established by throwing a plate of spaghetti at a wall.
Finland has many, but the big penis-shaped river is pretty good.

I can’t remember where it was, but I used to work at a title company. We processed a refinance on “Whiskey Dick Ln”.
there’s some towns in austrailia that are absolutely insane. not going to list them here they are actually that bad. also not sure if they are still named what they are
This is definitely the most appropriate place to list them. Try a few at least.
removed Creek is one. happy? i am not lol
Super annoying that they filter words here so I don’t know what “removed” was referring to. Instinctively I guessed cun* but could be any number of things. Thanks anyway.

Ah
Holy shit, why
Tbh, not sure I want to know why…
i looked it up and in 2017 they changed the name. there was actually TWO towns called that, one with North in front of it
