A year ago I posted a picture of a GMaps tricycle I saw in Croatia. Turns out the tricycle posted a picture of me! (i.imgur.com)

I need another layer of complexity. We need to go deeper.

[–]copinglemon 18 points19 points ago

Like that guy who took a pic of his tattoos on his forearms and managed to get like 4 more pics with all the cameras from the preceding pictures in them.

...I am bad at describing things, somebody find the link.

[–]DeathWalrus 41 points42 points ago

That might make it a little too interesting though.

Keep memes out of this subreddit please, we don't need another great one ruined

[–]x1ndor 0 points1 point ago

A webcam picture of OP making the screenshots for this picture?

[–]flume 2 points3 points ago

You mean like that guy who took a picture of himself taking a picture of himself taking a picture of his tattoos, and then made the last camera take a picture of itself while it took that photo?

[–]asshatnowhere 0 points1 point ago

we just need to find someone in the shot of the tricycle taking a picture of OP, who would in turn be taking a picture of said photographer, while also taking a picture of the tricycle, who is taking a picture of OP,.....who is taking a picture of the photographer taking a picture of OP........

[–]Steven2k7 -2 points-1 points ago

Op took a picture of Google taking a picture of him taking a picture of Google taking a picture of him taking a picture of Google taking a picture of him.

Deep enough?

[–]Fieel -4 points-3 points ago

We must say that google's pics are shitty comapred to OP lol

[–]UncleDuster 14 points15 points ago

Google maps link.

[–]UncleDuster 17 points18 points ago

okay, this is weird. Google maps appears to have mapped that road twice and depending on how you drop the streetview icon, it supplies either of the two versions of the picture. Here is a link to the same road but mapped in September 2011 rather than the version which features the OP which was mapped August 2011.

Hmmmm. Now that is mildly interesting.

[–]jadkik94 7 points8 points ago

Try this: Click on OP in the picture.

Poof!

[–]veron101 1 point2 points ago

Here's a link showing OP getting ready to take the picture.

EDIT: Actually it looks like it's right after he took the picture.

[–]Moseroth 22 points23 points ago

It's like a photo-graphical Mexican standoff except you are massively outgunned.

[–]PartyBusGaming 1 point2 points ago

How long until someone posts the usual "Mexican standoff involves three people" comment?

Ninjaedit: The answer: 0 seconds.

[–]tangled_foot 20 points21 points ago

based on the number of upvotes he's received, it looks like the tactic finally paid off.

[–]sprucenoose 6 points7 points ago

Optimum title achieved.

[–]tangled_foot 2 points3 points ago

and a downgrade from /r/funny to /r/mildlyinteresting

[–]123zc 2 points3 points ago

Seems like more of an upgrade.

[–]tangled_foot 0 points1 point ago

yeah, probably, I've unsubscribed from r/funny, primarily due to lack of laugher.

[–]ouTPhaze -2 points-1 points ago

lol, yeah

[–]BlindRob 9 points10 points ago

If at first you don't make the front page, try, try again.

[–]ouTPhaze -1 points0 points ago

Heh', I guess so. This is the first instance I've seen someone repost their own material for the sake of juicy karma...

[–]RedSquaree[M] 1 point2 points ago

Thank you. Removed.

[–]brooklynite[S] -1 points0 points ago

Oh how awful - most of the internet missed it because reddit isn't perfect, I post it to here, thousands of people who hadn't seen it love it!

OH THE WASTE OF BANDWIDTH HOW AWFUL

It was the most popular link in your reddit and you removed it - talk about stupid moderation, removing things that people enjoy

Enjoy the power trip!

[–]That_Russian_Guy 1 point2 points ago

So mad. The mod was right and he's not on a power trip.

[–]RedSquaree -1 points0 points ago

Please check the submission rules before making any further submissions.

Thanks.

[–]PartyBusGaming 0 points1 point ago

I'm okay with it, though. This is a pretty cool post and deserved this kind of exposure.

[–]ouTPhaze 1 point2 points ago

Too forced, he deserves to be downvoted into oblivion.

[–]Quaytsar 0 points1 point ago

Because it took him 6 times and a month to realize this isn't funny.

[–]ouTPhaze 0 points1 point ago

Guess I go to /r/karmaconspiracy too much, they use the terms "sweet" and "juicy"

[–]Bohzee 18 points19 points ago

first you got karma, then karma and now karma again!

[–]Jest0riz0r 10 points11 points ago

I only count two posts

[–]crimsonbalerion 3 points4 points ago

He's drunk,

look at the username

[–]ouTPhaze 0 points1 point ago

He's posted this many many times. KarmaDecay it.

[–]Bohzee 0 points1 point ago

he shot the tricylce, but the triycle also shot him, so that's karma too somehow

I love how totally uninterested your partner/sister/whatever looks.

[–]brooklynite[S] 77 points78 points ago

You're right, with the blur and digitization on her face that obscures her nose and mouth, you can totally tell her level of interest!

[–]jeaton 29 points30 points ago

[–]mtchen8 18 points19 points ago

I think it's more from her body language rather than her facial expression. Trust me, i'm an expert on women/jpegology.

My family moved from Dubrovnik in 1890. It is so pretty, I wish they hadn't.

[–]badblueboy146 0 points1 point ago

Croatia is nice place to visit, but not so nice when you live there.

[–]timtooltime 0 points1 point ago

I still have family, so fortunate. You should visit!

[–]hippiewench 0 points1 point ago

Cool, I'll stay with you!

How was the food? Ive been dying to go there...

[–]pokepoke 0 points1 point ago

The food is crazy good there. Dubrovnik is really touristy so there's tons of good restaurants and tons of shitty ones.

[–]timtooltime 0 points1 point ago

I can verify, the food the most awesome food ever there!

Google Maps: a new avenue for our well deserved 15 minutes of fame!

[–]Ovelite 1 point2 points ago

Yeah to be honest I find it cool that he found a Google maps tricycle. However, I'm not too sure why he finds this on any level mildly interesting. It's made to take pictures, the tricycle that is. I don't know what he expected.

[–]christophers80 2 points3 points ago

THe same thing has happened to me in Seattle: http://i.imgur.com/iEGk8.jpg

In democratic Croatia, tricycle photograph you!

[–]-mikew- 1 point2 points ago

Does anyone know what the logo on the back of the tricycle drivers shirt is?

[–]youshallhaveeverbeen 2 points3 points ago

It's Herbalife, a nutrition company.

[–]Gnarnar 0 points1 point ago

Makes you ride faster than that one nutted cheater Lance Armstrong.

[–]hybridopinion 0 points1 point ago

There should be no room for exclamation marks on this subreddit. The title had me a little too excited.
