Let's play the Google Earth India game

[Kikemaster]

Didn't find trash, debris or shit, but found an actual mud hut

The eternal smog and poor care for the landscape makes India seem like the movie filters for different countries meme is real.

Anyway, just for funsies, I journeyed to Uganda. I knew going into Kampala would give me India-like results.


However, my first stop landed on this, which is beautiful.

I found the average clinic office in India



What the hell is this shit bricks?

 

[Slur Generator]

Was the average place in medieval Europe tidier than the average place in India is now?

Vilages for sure. They threw very little away. Clothes they used until they were cut up into rags. Most of the rest could be burned or composted

I've never been on a tour group myself but everyone I know who has done, anywhere on earth, wanted to die from the minute it started til the end.

I did a Duke University Alumni tour of Rome at age 12 w me and my little sis and Dad and it was OK, did it again as a 22 year old to Athens; I would say research your tour groups ahead of time and read reviews, and take advantage of downtime to go out on your own if you wish. You'll always find something... unique... when you go out on your own, for better or worse. (I say that as someone who decidedly found the *worse* of Athens.)

Crazy how even Mongolian nomadic herders are able to clean up at least a little better after themselves. Think that's another point to the above "medieval societies/anything less well off is cleanlier than modern India". I'm too lazy to quote as a newfag, sorry.

However, my first stop landed on this, which is beautiful.

Legit thought this was somewhere in the outer Indosphere for a minute, like Myanmar or Bhutan. Those places are littered with natural spectacle, and, naturally, are treated better by their residents as a result. Still, cool & unexpected from 'Ganda.

Anyone up for Pindia Bingo?

 

[Dancing Robot Monkey]

First time, lost instantly. Probably a good thing half the image was blurred out.

 

[W'rkncacnter]

it's worth checking out some African cities too. Surprisingly a lot more clean and nice than Indian ones.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

With all those power lines, how common are electrical fires in India?

Probably a good thing half the image was blurred out.

Why is there all that frequent blurring anyway?

 

[MrB]

Got a cow on my first pin too.




Let's compare that to some random streets in Rwanda


TFW a subsaharan african country famous for receiving a genocide seems to have its shit together better than India

I found a clean place in India:


It's a neighborhood called Chanakyapuri in New Delhi.

Spoiler: Why it is clean

Actually, I lied.
Only the embassies are clean.
There's a massive slum in the middle of the diplomatic enclave:

 

[Hamstirer]

Well I believe I lost real bad with the trash pond

 

[AltisticRight]

Wow, I knew it wasn't going to be good but this?


But that's not fair. So I dropped a pin in Algeria.

This looks like a CS:GO map, it's dated for sure but surprisingly clean. I can't see a single bit of trash lying around.
Looks like there might be a bit of trash next to a pillar in the first image, or it could just be decaying bricks.

 

[KingLiberty76]

I got some area either in or near a construction site but despite that it's still filthy

[Stan]

I'm dying of laughter and if I don't report to work tomorrow it's cause I died laughing how dirty India is.

very first try, dead center of the screen

Haha who wants to see the reddit version?
