Let's play the Google Earth India game

[Dancing Robot Monkey]

Why is there all that frequent blurring anyway?

No idea. It was pretty bad on mine compared to a few other pictures I saw posted. I wonder if it has something to do with their camera?

 

[Three Ludicrous Moneybags]

It's so pajover indiabros.

 

[fake farts]

Ah, the good old rotate treasure hunt.

This isn't too bad.

Oh... oh no.

 

[Medic]

Who wants to rent it and call the number

 

[Chongqing]

What the hell is this shit bricks?

Oh, right, shit bricks. Prepared to be horrified.

They dry the shit into these discs or bricks. Then, they use them like charcoal. This means they put then in stoves inside of their homes to heat their living space...but they also put then in tandoor ovens, barbeques, and open pits, to have their food roasted by the shit, with shit fumes and shit smoke flavoring the food.

Nothing a dash of masala can't fix, am I right, guys?

 

[Calandrino]

Haha who wants to see the reddit version?

[graywolf88]

Can we rate the entire subcontinent as horrifying at this point?

 

[AnOminous]

From the original thread where this came up. I somehow won with an utterly bizarre result.

I decided it would be cheap to try to find something outright in the middle of the wilderness (though many people have done that in this thread and STILL found a pile of garbage somewhere) so did a Google search for most remote places in India and picked some town called "Ziro."

I dropped a pin on a building somewhere in it in Google Earth and somehow got three pictures from inside someone's house.

Can you even call this a house? It looks like a giant oven.

When your country's like a kiln, I guess you build the house like an oven?

Somehow I doubt they're gonna be a "world superpower" anytime soon.

But if they do, they'll somehow do it despite all that urban decay.

(India already has a space program which sent a probe to the moon.)

lol Kenya has a space agency too but I don't expect much of them

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

It's flooded with poop for sure

Well I believe I lost real bad with the trash pond

You lost big time, no more rolls for 24h for you.

 

[Fruttasecca]

wtf, how long have these roadblocks been there for? AND they never finished construction either. Thats the quality craftsmanship Elon Musk is looking for in America these days!

Pretty clean otherwise

 

[sadrefrigerator]

Pro geogeussr players can recognize countries from a glance. Recently India was added to the game. I'm sure they see a piece of shit on the road and think "easy india"

Haha who wants to see the reddit version?

One of the posts says Betul in Madhya was clean and I went to look and tbf it is kinda clean.



I did play this game quite a bit (including in the very far north and south which had less poverty) and still saw tons of trash. For some reason, Betul looks like it has either a city ordinance against trash, a program for cleaning the streets, or just a local culture where it seems like people sweep a lot.

I've been in very desperately poor places where things are dilapidated and still see people sweeping sidewalks.

Bonus:


moooo

edit:


found out that the pond in Betul is very filthy. For some reason Indians hate clean water.

 

[Nitro!]

Picked a random spot, thought for sure that there couldn't be crap strewn about everywhere...

Spoiler: wrong

Indians cannot comprehend the concept of waste removal.

 

[Born in Summer]

I hope all this online bullying about how dirty India is encourages some of them to clean up the place a bit, I highly doubt it, but it would be nice if it did.

 

[Stan]

Roll 6: a rural road with some trash on the shoulder.

I gave it one more try, this time I went the opposite direction, north near Nepal. Looked much better than my first time that's for sure.



Added this nice shot in just because the stretched out goat and guy got a chuckle out of me.

One of the posts says Batel in Madhya was clean and I went to look and tbf it is kinda clean.

Honestly, not that bad except for the poop smear on the lens. Also love random the "I Big Foot"

 

[CatharticShitHead]

Picked a random spot, ended up on a highway where there's trash along it.

I got unlucky. I got the one spot you can't blame on just Indians, since as far as I know, every highway looks like shit.

ITT we compared this country 1:1 to Mexico, Guatemala, and Kenya and it's worse than these. If that doesn't humiliate the Indians, what would?

FWIW American pioneers circa 1840-1880 did this same thing with buffalo poop for want of other cooking fuel.
