    Denmark too. You’re not a success in Denmark until you have a flagpole, two kids (no more, no less), an electric car, a robot mower, a robot hoover and a sunken trampoline.

    Isn’t putting up flags an American thing too? Don’t really see this kind of nationalism in other coutnries.

    In England we only really put them up for football and racism.

    In the US, we have our own special flag just for racism.

    Then there's the thin blue line flag, not to mention the regular flag, and more and more these the straight up nazi flag.

    If you see a truck in Canada with our flag on it, high probability it's also got an 'F Trudeau' sticker and an asshole driver.

    I've seen it in just about every country I have visited physically and in Geoguessr. Maybe not quite as prevalent as the US but I wouldn't actually say the difference is as big as people probably think.

    What's funny is that beyond knowing you're in America, the flag doesn't help a lot with location guessing. USA is one of the tougher countries to pinpoint within in GeoGuesser. It's probably harder to distinguish Vermont from Ohio from Oregon (depending on the photo) than it is to tell Albania from Austria even with no flags or signs.

    Complete opposite of my experience. While you do see flags in other countries they are usually only at governme t buildings, it's rare to see people flying flags themselves. Whereas in America they are everywhere and also buildins will often have multiple. Like I went to a mall and the outside had at least a dozen flags on sides.

    I went to a hardware store in the states during a trip. Turns out they had a patriotic corner there, full of flags and banners. I've never seen anything like that before in any country. In a lot of countries you have to search for even a tiny souvenir flag.

    In Finland we have plenty of national "flag days" every year. I don't see people putting up flags on their porch or anything but many has flag poles on their yard and flying a Finnish flag has no racist implications to it or anything like that. It's a traditional thing to do and especially the elderly are pretty strict about it.

    That was what the US used to be, but now flying a flag has too many negative connotations. Don’t let your nationalist nut-jobs ruin it for you too

    If it doesn't have a blue stripe, you can absolutely still fly the flag at your house. It's when you have it on your shirt and car that it gets weird.

    Nope. Storing all of Google street view in one human's brain takes a toll on you.

    But seriously, if you haven't seen him before, the guy is nuts. He has to come up with challenges to make geoguesser difficult for himself now:

    He's not saying lawn in geoguessr though, so a moot point.
