Bro
Do you have photographic memory or do you study Geography as a hobby
You should be working for the FBI not YT.
Not Mexico. Not tainted yellow.
If weaponized autism was a person
Imagine saying people who memorize a couple trees, roads, cars license and sun and compass is impossible for someone who wants to master a seemingly useless skill and yet his CZcams career is decent so yeah. Likely Asperger's autism since Magnus Carlsen and Albert Einstein had it
I’m dead lmaoo
@@meh6513 What point are you trying to make? Look up the phrase weaponized autism.
I genuinely dont think rainbolt is autistic dude but hey thats just based off what I’ve seen from him on peoples streams, his own content. But yeah I totally get what ur saying lmfao I remember this one kid with autism who memorized every street name and location in the united states 😭
@@Ebonybootysmackerfromjotunheim don’t bother replying to em they’re dumb and can’t take jokes and that shit was a good joke
My dude said Common Polish L in the most polite way ever
What is a Polish L only in Poland?

@@vericulum6810 so common Polish L is actually common Polish W?

As an european, I can confirm we have Decepticons on our telephone poles instead of Tranformers
Decepticons are a subset of Transformers so that statement is nonsensical.
Are we the bad guys?
Decepticons ARE Transformers, everyone ignore this blatant autobot propaganda.
Tell me u don't understand Transformer without telling me u don't understand Transformer
@@jango7889I, Optimus Prime, am upset at my fellow Autobots for spreading such propaganda. As we, Autobots, instead just kill all Decepticons we come across. Truly, it is a disgrace to be seen as some mere propagandists
As an American I can confirm there is an Optimus Prime on my telephone pole

I wish Rainbolt would do more content exactly like this. Talking through his process is facinating. I'm a geoguessr newbie and this type of content would be helpful in upping my game!
“The trees look polish”

he has the face of a person who is in the moment before sneezing
I think that facial structure is mostly found in Canada so makes sense lol
Lmao
Fun fact: Łazienki (not Lysinki lol) means "Bathrooms" in Polish
As for promounciation, it's W (as in would) a (as in drama) zea (as in zealand) en (as in end) ki (as in king)
Oh, cool - it's always interesting to learn a bit about pronunciation.
In this particular case, it would appear that the word 'Łazienki' means 'baths' rather than 'bathroom' as "Parc Łazienki is a specific royal park in Warsaw, taking its name from a bathing pavilion nearby at the time of its landscaping.
Wash Sinky
More like bathing pavillons. The palace was originally built in the 17th century as a bathing pavilion for Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski.
Bro is the real life Light Yagami
Nah he's L

L(as in character) for sure
Light is not as smart as him. That buffoon of an MC got narrowed down as the main suspect 2 weeks in.
If you zoom in on the mailbox that was left open you can read the address on the power bill marked “last notice.” 😮
Underrated comment 😂
Florida.
I guess that this is his approach, which has to be quick to win at geoguessr, so I don't think he has time to read that or something I don't know
On a higher quality view you could also probably check the trash can for the city name.

except this guy doesnt just know the country, he knows the location within a few miles, hes crazy good
North america is a rather large place. He is usually able to locate images within a few miles.
Yeah, he said "the US is the only country that puts transformers on top of telegraph poles" which is not true but the whole picture screams North America! Lol
@@rvretv He screams scam artist. Been a while since we've had a Uri Gellar

This dude probably singlehandedly powers 4Chan 💀
This guy is like the guy that won french scrabble without speaking french but memorizing all the words
Wait waht??😂😂
@@ruthrobles4594dude from new zealand, spoke no french. Spent 8 weeks memorising at least 500+ words (forgot the exact amount) and won the french scrable tournament, he didnt even speak a word of french lol
That's crazy

@snow i mean like nigel is just the best scrabble player ever and he spent 8 weeks studying nothing but the french dictionary
Dude was born to show 4chan has a boss
Average 4chan user

@@johnpulawski35 4 Chan is well known for tracking people down
Y'all are familiar with the Shia theBeef "performance art," proclaiming "we will not be silenced." And the ruthless cat and mouse game of hide and please don't seek.
(...we are going to seek anyway.)
Apparently he can be silenced. But its a lot of work. Group sourced solving power on 4chan is spectacular.
Me: Well there is houses and a sidewalk. So I would say a neighorhood.
Your concenciouness and perspicacity are intimidating to say the least 😂😂😂
I saw that first picture and immediately thought that looks like Seattle, where I live. I could walk by that corner everyday
For people asking. There's a compass in the image that is cut off in the video
I was about to ask how he knows where south is
I was gonna say, I don't exactly understand.
Went looking for this too...
Naw, he just knows the direction of the sun
So then whats the point of the video.
These people should legit consult with military and government ops cause they are clearly good
@CLB Ronin makes sense it not a skill you think of but is probably incredibly important
Right, let's just make government surveillance more intrusive than it already is. That sounds smart.
Tbh, this stuff is fairly easy to pull off. It has always the same way it goes, and then it just takes a little bit of knowledge about specific things in countries outside your own.
First you Analyse the picture for everything that could give you a clue, starting with obvious things like town signs, license plates, street signs, bill boards and going over to specific things like architecture or road markings. With this you can already erase a high percentage of countries just because of yellow or white street markings. Like Germany, you will find only white markings there, they only use orange in construction zones. So if there are no signs of construction and it’s yellow markings, it can’t be Germany (just for example).
After you ruled out everything that it can’t be you Analyse what you have based on what it could be and delete more and more places, until you specified your country. Then you take your Intel from the picture and determine in which region of the country it could be, and so on you go in more detail until you can make it out via maps.
If you start with it you need a notepad, a pencil and many many attempts in google. But after you hit lvl 1000 in games like GeoGuessr you can pull this of in seconds just in your mind, it’s just training like these guys that remember Pi until the 5781. Number, I have to google everything over number 54.
So it’s really not that special tbh, it’s not a secret talent or something, just training and experience.
The problem isn’t that it’s particularly hard, it’s that people don’t bother to learn these things. Like you could very easily learn and name every country in the world in the span of a week (like 1 hr a day) so technically half a day - a day… Now, what happens if you put 1 hr everyday for a year learning geography. People often spend several hrs a day playing games or a hobby and get extremely skilled at it. This is not different, it’s probably easier to name every single province in the world then to learn a language but people would be far more impressed by the former simply because people don’t usually focus on memorizing geography
@@patrickpettibone9749 There are already tons of books and research papers on this type of stuff, impressive for what started out as a hobby but I guarantee governments/intelligence agencies already employ tons of people like this or even experts in other fields like even botanists trying to identify every single plant in a picture to see if it narrows anything down or carpenters/engineers to identify specific building codes or regulations the houses do or don't follow and tracking them down that way.
I don’t understand how he knows the direction of the shadows. Of all the incredible things this man displays that’s the one that blows my mind the most
This is how smart anyone can become with interest and dedication to a craft...
True but he has very high IQ
no in fact you could never
The fact that this guy just shitposts instead of helping the feds is kind of a miracle
He has morals and doesn't want to join the bad guys.
Yeah, he could have an outstanding carriere in the CIA or something. Like deducing if a picture is taken when and where a person said it was

Its actually called "Łazienki" and translates to bathrooms but has nothing to do with them
still polish
Not Cyrillic though right?
@@scherwinabdulkarim8302 yea, we don't use that here

Arbour the second photo: I immediately thought "Poland", but I cannot tell you why, eben if my life depended on it 😂😂.
If I ever had a missing relative , Id know who to ask
Ł - the polish "L" he's talking about, and the park name is Łazienki królewskie which translates to Royal bathrooms xD
Ta? To fenomenalnie
I've been to the Łazienki park.. it's amazing.. you can also watch a lot of talented and international known artists playing classical music for free in the summer
It's not written in Cyrillic though
i think Royal Spa is more accurate translation

This guy is very talented. He would be amazing as a detective
Facts
Rainbolt even said thers people that are way better then him as well
This is learned skill, not a talent, which IMO is more impressive than being talented in something
@Tomi Bomi it's not that hard to rehearse and memorize something before a video or stream
@@OberWanKenobii he didn't rehearse this. He does it off the top of his head on stream constantly in a competitive setting so this is clearly him using real problem solving skills.
This guy is *remarkably* like Sherlock Holmes. In the books it’s noted that Holmes memorized London to a tee. He knew every street, every corner, and could distinguish where people had come from via ‘splashes upon their trousers’.
This guy would make a great detective.
Why? Because he can list the things he sees on a picture? You can see those same things right? That and a little common sense and basic knowledge. It’s not that hard. Everyone can do this.
@@nyls1717he is rainbolt. Not some random dude speaking bs.
I wonder if the CIA or FBI has ever reached out to this guys regarding classified photos
He is not just listing things in the picture, he is also associating things you see to how it helps finding out where the picture was taken. "A little common sense and basic knowledge" isn't going to be enough with pictures from all around the world. @@nyls1717
@@nyls1717 Make a geoguesser channel then
dont let bro become a villain 😭🙏
so he took images apart and reverse image searched parts and now has a wide, deep trivia knowledge of alphabets and infrastructure
Crazy i instantly recognized the polish location! Beautiful park in Warsaw
Same. I went there once, and it was gorgeous
Łazienki!
Its very well known landmark
Just ask the neighbors house where that is then you can contact the homeowners
Nneerrrdddddd
That makes no sense
??? What?? Pls explain wdym?
Wut

Bro is the real life equivalent of a 2b2t player
The park in Lazienki is my favorite place in the world- as a NYC native I lived in Warsaw for 3 years and I miss it so much. Didn’t expect to see it here
Man is the Bioweapon of 4Chan
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bro has 200/20 vision
I'm pretty sure that first one is like 15 minutes away from me I recognized it immediately
I just had an idea for a great movie! A group of people wake up in an unknown location. The people that are holding them hostage went to go get supplies. They are left unattended, because the
Hostage takers believe that the hostages have no idea where they are. But amongst the hostages, is this guy!
This is the second time I’ve seen you interview a short form dominant creator.
I’m so excited to go through your channel now!
Thanks for checking it out
short form??
Dude is both awake and asleep at the same time.
In the third pic I can just immediately tell by the driveway, nothing else needed.
I used to try to do this with film locations while viewing movies.
Its Łazienki, named after this building from picture, łaźnia (baths). It was baths builded by one of the Nobels, later bought by King and changed to Royal Mansion/Palace

Canada uses transformers. Canada has pine trees. Canada has colourful short license plates. Canada has polish signs and names. Never seen you find anything in Canada or need to look for it.
I remember this guy back in high school he actually taught the geography teacher geography
His eyes confirm that he is indeed a geoguessr Champion
"sleep? what is sleep?"
Australia uses transformers on telephone poles in older suburbs.
At this point I think it would be easier to list the countries that don't have transformers on telephone poles.
So does Canada
Brazil is full of those EVERYWHERE
Telephone poles or powerlines
And New Zealand.
So does the UK
In essence, lots of experience and taking nothing for granted.
Dudes got a touch of the tism
“This place is coastalish as well as desertish’ is my new favorite thing
Wouldn’t that only leave California lol maybe Baja but not with that architecture
@@mdc3148 Sonora? Some parts of Arizona on the Colorado River?
@@BringMayFlowers Yes, left out Sonora, thanks, but not sure about Arizona as the definition of “coastal” is the edge of a sea or ocean, rivers have banks.
@@mdc3148im not too familiar with usa but the lack of grass and the absence of a gutter system on the house would indicate that it never rains.
so whichever state fits that description
Bro probably was the one who pinpointed bin laden as a bet from 4chan lol
Dude memorized the entire world
Crazy the first picture reminded me of Washington, crazy to hear him say it out loud.
new Zealand & Australia both use transformers on their telephone poles, and those pines are quite common there
Yeah this kid is full of shit. ANYBODY can tell where a picture is taken from the license plate or the sign, and in the edits he was obviously googling "what tree is this" or "what language is this". Basic shit.
Also 🇨🇦 Canada
And then he look at the compass and then he know wich one it might be
...and Japan
The houses look american though
I immediately recognized the Łazienki park
Dude the cardboard houses in the first image alone are a dead giveaway
When he drives, the navigation waits for his directions.
Jokes aside, the fact that he could remember all these details off the top of his head is amazing.
I love doing geoguessing. I learned a lot by watching dashcams from all over. Foliage, pavement colors, license plates, and I’ve always kept up with all the car models/years/colors worldwide. Types of sidewalks or pavements are also very distinctive.
I love that!!!
True, sometimes you could tell continents apart from the vibes.
BRO’s a real life Sheldon cooper.
This guy kidnapped a couple years ago, apparently the guys blindfolded him and dropped him off in a random desert in the middle of nowhere. By time the nappers got home, he was waiting for them.
Now I should be 100% sure, but I’m pretty sure that we have transformers on our telephone poles here in Canada too 😂
We have transformers on telephone poles in Honduras
Wow that's pretty cool. Can you link the long form video please
Sure. Here it is: czcams.com/video/kwQ1eBsjfew/video.html
This is pretty standard for what I've seen from big geoguessr players. Just gotta memorize many minutes details of countries like license plates, foliage, and infrastructure. Language is the easy one cause even casuals can build that knowledge through experience.
Also to note when he does those crazy specific findings I've seen him day he spends days. So it's not always an instant find.
If you see the plates you can look them up and pinpoint exactly where they are. But of course that only works for vehicles.
The name of the park is Łazienki. Because it is a part of Łazienki Królewskie in Warsaw.
Well yes the letter "Ł" can only be found in polish language its not an actual "L". The letter "Ł" is pronounced simmiliar to the first sound you would make while saying for example the word "wood". Its mostly like a softer "L" but its deifinietly not the same letter
I believe 4chan will soon recruit this guy.

I think I straight up saw that first image somewhere in Seattle a few weeks ago XD
The first one has a trash cart with the City of Seattle logo on it. You made that analysis way more complicated than it needed to be.
As a polish person I imediatly reconized the 2nd picture
Those are actually Douglas Firs and Cedars; we don’t have as many pine trees in western Oregon/Washington
There's a transformer on the telephone pole. Also there's text on the trash bin.

Looks like a Canadian suburb
