For years now, Google has embarked on a quest to capture, in images, every corner of the Earth. Each street in the world, each avenue, each hideaway, each address is searchable and seeable by anybody online. Inevitably, a lot of weird stuff gets captured by the Google car-mounted cameras because a lot of weird stuff goes on in the world. Some people notice the cameras and react positively to them, and others are not quite so enthusiastic. At other moments, the stitching together of images by the moving Google vehicles leads to funky, visually compelling results.

Without meaning to, Google has produced some of the most bizarre, blessed and cursed images of our times. On Reddit's /r/googlemapsshenanigans people post and share examples of weird things captured on Google Maps, wild pieces of life encountered by the tech company’s cameras.
