Where's that McDonald's? (GeoGuessr)

[@theeriecanal8875]

Ross clicking on Washington D.C. after seeing a NYC bus is why Hat Films is the best GeoGuessr channel on KZbin

[@gianrcarlo]

I notice that they’ll see a street that says like “Washington Dr” or “Pennsylvania Ave” and it’ll throw them off, not realizing that many American cities name streets after states for grid mapping. Like naming them for Presidents.

[@chrism45]

Ross saw at least 3 Bronx signs. I don't understand where they're looking while playing this.

@@gianrcarlo Even in the UK a lot of the time roads named after places are named after where they lead to, not where they are. if you see a city name on a road, you're near but probably not in that city.

"Do they sponsor anyone?" Surprisingly, yes. A couple of speedway riders are sponsored by McDonalds. A sport you've likely never even heard of. Which makes it even stranger.

[@cameroneridan4558]

Speedway? That's what that's called in English?! I would've never guessed. Even though English is my first language, I've only ever seen speedway in the context of my Polish relatives watching it on tv and in Polish it's called "Żużel" which (I had to look up to find out) other than "Motorcycle Speedway" only means "Slag" as in ore/metal processing slag rock. I'm guessing cause of the gravel and dirt tracks speedway is done on?

[@PiousMoltar]

@@cameroneridan4558 Very interesting! I knew it was huge in Poland but had never considered what it was called there. Yes "motorcycle speedway" in English but usually just "speedway" for short. But that's in British English. It honestly gets confusing around the world...
