kinda like google earth but for sounds, you can click anywhere on the map and find sounds people have uploaded. like this recording of a fish factory in greenland
it's so dope seeing the incredibly isolated places humans have made their way to, and the sheer number of inhabited islands that are out there is mind blowing. play a podcast in the background and go wild. i've found islands with small towns or settlements on them that have less than 40 words written about them available online.
whenever i have a long phone call with a friend i totally unconsciously open google earth and pick a random road (usually in upstate new york) and just click forward and look at the scenery while we chat. its the road trip experience from your home! its a nice little thing to do with your hands while we talk but lets you stay engaged in the conversation.
fun, aimless, relaxing way to learn about our world! i love taking a 5 minute trip to são paulo or geneva or hanoi on my computer! or you can just drive around and stumble upon things like a deer eating lunch 😌
