Watched a YouTube video with many different clips. -big YouTuber. That YouTuber posts compilation content of people doing weird bizarre things. One of those videos was someone as an adult who freaked out of not getting his favourite paint colour in an elementary school class. Featured an adult who freaked out in art class. And then his parents came and grounded the adult. That happened on a tuesday. Another video clip featured on that compilation was a group of two teens messing with a homemade giant flag against traffic. Their flag was made up of two emojis to emojis that make up that flag, and If the two emojis are flipped that would make that flag. So that’s the flag they made and waved at the traffic. But wait, as I watched it, something caught my attention. I watched it a couple times because there was something about the video that made me re watch it. The street looked surprisingly familiar. The right side where the teenagers were chilling had a big shopping center to the right, with the same colour of the roof as my street. It has the same shops as the one shopping center down my street. The shops were: couche tard, Tim Hortons and this unique ice cream store that was the only one I knew in the area. Wait. That was my street? I stopped. This can’t be. It can’t be a coincidence. The bus stop looked surprisingly the same. Though the video showed the same exact shopping center as my street, there were a few differences. On the other side of the street in the video, there were just a bunch of trees with no residences, just trees like a mini woods. And at the end of the street we’re a few malls and a McDonald’s. The video I watched was in lower quality like 240p which made me think this was made years ago. So that got me to think. it had my curiosity. I check in google maps, and went in street view of my street where I try to replicate the exact footage of the teens waving the flag of emojis well the one shot that I could see both sides of the street. My street low and behold had the same shopping center with the exact same roof colour featured with the same shops with the same bus stop next to it _ minus the ad panel ofc. But the other side and down rhe street were different. Remember, The left side of my street featured residences and a few trees while the video featured just thick trees. Down the street was more roads but in the video it had a McDonald’s and some malls. If you have used street view, there is sometimes an option where you can video the street back in time like what the street looked like in 2015, or 2007 even. I look in the street view in 2022, which is the street that it looks. Then I looked in the past years. When I saw what the street looked like in 2008, my street had the same trees in the left side and the McDonald’s and malls far down the street. That was a huge coincidence. I woke up shortly after, at 1pm. August 12, 2022. (Excuse for bad grammar, this was notes)
