Google Maps is great for finding directions, checking traffic, and also apparently stumbling into one of the weirdest corners of the internet. You start by zooming in on your old neighborhood out of curiosity, and before you know it, you’re staring at a guy dressed as Spider-Man mowing his lawn or a seagull that somehow looks like it’s two stories tall.
Over the years, the Maps car and satellites have captured some truly hilarious moments, and the real heroes are the people who took the time to screenshot them. I rounded up some of the funniest ones from a subreddit that honestly make it feel like we’re all living inside a glitchy video game.
So scroll down to see what the algorithm saw, and if you spot one that breaks your brain a little, just know you’re not alone.

Image Source: r/googlemapsshenanigans7. I was exploring the Brooklyn Navy Shipyard and decided to do a little drive around, and all of a sudden this guy shows up. At first I thought Google removed the face but when I zoomed in and tried to figure out what it is, the “person” started jumping around like shown in the pics. Also, when you try to drive past him, maps gives me a “server error” message. Got me spooked ngl.
