as I'm delving deeper into geoguessr, I frequently think about how these snapshots of the world we are exploring are also a kind of permanent goodbye to the world as it is in them. the climate catastrophe is going to change so much about our planet, rising sea levels are going to obliterate entire coastal features, biomes will change, areas will become much wetter, much drier, much hotter. and we are looking at images of countries when they were at peace, even if today they aren't. houses that have in the meantime collapsed. fields that still show crops that aren't there any more. forests that have been cut down and turned into furniture. it's a weird sort of melancholy that takes me sometimes as I'm trying to figure out where exactly this or that kind of palm grows.

saw this pop up briefly in geoguessr; south africa: what?
in reply to wayfinder

chevy chase, maryland, us was founded as a white supremacist town

chevy chase, the actor, was in the video for paul simon's "you can call me al" which had ladysmith black mambazo vocals in it

ladysmith (now called umnambithi) is a town in south africa

chevy chase, south africa is about 300 miles south of umnambithi

...I can draw no sane conclusions here

wenn ich das gepostet hätte, hättest du wahrscheinlich mit einer brillanten Reply gekontert, bei mir reichte es nur zu diesem schlechten Reim:

i really dislike media that makes me go "did... did a writer write this?" (i.e. writer protagonist, ~the power of stories~, coming-of-age movie where someone wants to become a writer, struggling novelist returns to backwater home, that kind of thing)

and it's so pervasive!

please, someone write what you don't know too at some point
