It makes sense but it also doesn't. To be able to guess approximately based on grass, sure. There's lots of different kinds of grass and soil and climates and all in different combinations, so you can kind of understand once you really look. But even in my small area of the American Midwest there's got to be dozens and dozens of these combinations and variations, especially considering different seasons. Yet, he gets it basically every time, without fail, and often not just the country but specific small areas therein... And that... I can't comprehend. Dude's just a savant.

I like the Borneo part. "To be fair, it wasn't the grass that tipped me off. The guard rail is obviously borneo." Ahh yeah of course. Who wouldn't spot that.
What I want to know is how in the world does this guy know what the guardrails in Borneo of all places look like. Like how do you just know that off the top of your head
I'm from malaysia and i can confirm that's the guardrails we commonly use here. As for the borneo part i have no idea how he distinguish it from the mainland 😂 looks like any rural areas in malaysia
a large part of his success is the community. there are dozens of other guys at a similar skill level who spend their time memorizing the vegetation, soil, road markings, and architecture of different regions, each with their own specialty. then they share all of these tips with one another. in the same way as there is usually no single inventor of a technology, but a hive mind of talented people putting their skills towards one goal.
I can’t help but smile during his reaction when he finds the locations from peoples pictures. I hope he does a follow up on the ones of people who actually recreate the photos!
What’s impressive is the efficiency in that head and ability to retain all that info. Breaking photos down is easy enough, but to not be overwhelmed by possibilities and lose thoughts along the way is a whole different ballgame
"Looks more impressive than it really is" - bro, you're impressive AF. You should be very proud of your craft and knowledge, and to be able to help people relive their moments or their loved ones moment's is priceless ❤️
I agree. I always liked his TikToks because they were entertaining, but after finding his TH-cam I've started to really respect the guy.

I just recently showed my grandpa geoguessr and he used to deliver packages all over the twin cities (saint paul and Minneapolis) and he was just cracked at it. he would say oh yeah I have delivered here and it was just hilarious
When my son told me about this he sat down and we did a few. The second one he said, "I know here that is it's right up the road from where we lived in So Carolina." I keep expecting to eventually spot a place I've been, that will be fun.
This is incredible. You've seen these locations so many times that you started seeing patterns and that's how you apply the logic to it, others can't understand it because they don't have that experience. People would call that a "gut feeling" or, even worse, "instinct", but it's literally intelligence. It's what all organisms are capable of and pattern seeking is a crucial part in every being's life. After seeing so many instances of specific countries, your brain started seeing patterns in the environment and you can immediately recognise it, other people don't have the necessary data in their brain but they still could do it! They just need that many hours put into it!

The look on his face at 2:55 made me start crying. I didn't even know why. HE'S FUCKIN HAPPY! WHY AM I CRYING! LOL. Then I realized it was because I saw the look on his face and realized he's reached a place in existence that I personally strive so hard to get to. When the thing you love in life not only provides a good living for you, but ALSO helps others in your community. He found his Ikigai. His purpose in life that no one else can replace. I was happy to see someone get to this point and thinking that maybe I actually CAN get there one day and that it's a real possibility... The emotion overwhelmed me until I realized what the emotion WAS. It was HOPE. And I haven't felt it in so long that when I felt pure hope, it was too much for me. Thank you, Rainbolt. Some people might not really get you. But I think I do. And I appreciate it, man. More than you'll ever know. ❤🙏
I completely understand "North American Grass" or the like. Every region has distinct foliage (plant ecology of an area is based on geology), and it is subtly noticeable if one pays attention. I think this is part of the reason we might just "feel at home" in the part of the world where we grew up, the buildings, infrastructure, and foliage, all have a distinct aesthetic.
Totally. The devil is in the details even if we don't consciously process it. I've had this very strange feeling though. I'm from central Europe from Czechia and whenever I've travelled I've always started feeling homesick after a pretty short amount of time (week or two) just because I was missing the specific aesthetic of the land, the foliage etc. I had this even in Spain or France, even Germany. The only place, where I felt pretty at home was inland Lithuania and very strangely Britain (specifically southern England around Glastonbury). It seems so strange to me, because Britain is an island, it's quite a more southern place and especially the architecture is very very different.
@@Washeek That's interesting. I also start to feel a bit homesick when I travel out of the birch and spruce forrests of the Great Lakes region. I have not yet been to Britain, but for some reason I feel like I'd also feel at home there. I used to watch a lot of BBC shows when I was a young kid and the architecture, the meadows, and the hedgrows are nostalgic somehow.
It's funny how grass is a strong clue for some.. Whereas for me I have always paid most attention to the soil (moist, dark, light, reddish, yellow, grey, a lot of rocks, cracked dirt etc). Looking at specifically soil and trees generally has been very useful for me to identify where a picture was taken.
No joke I teared up both times reading those texts from people. Makes me so happy how you are able to give these folks that joy. God bless you man, the world needs you more than ever right now.
8:43 "more impressive than it really is" dude I was given a whole day with these pictures being shown on a cinema screen I still wouldn't be able to even guess the right continent.
I actually surprisingly get the grass thing, the depth of green to yellow is very different depending on where or what type of grass, not to mention how it's maintained varies from country to country. I could definitely recognize the North American grass because it has that distinct color I've seen so many times. It's super weird and hella specific, but there's just a feeling there that our brains can easily pick up without us thinking about it.

Do you write down all the techniques you use to recognize places? You seem to know so much about random stuff in the world (that's actually important for geoguessing reasons) that I think you could write a book, or at least a very long guide
No matter how many times I see the posts/videos of you finding the locations of people's special photos I still get goosebumps and tear up (happy not sad kind). I appreciate you following it up with the amazing grass videos that are hilarious as you break them down, but the laughter was a nice switch because I can be too much of an emotional weenie sometimes.
the grass thing is insane but being from new zealand i immediately recognised our grass despite having no clue why... so i guess with enough exposure you'll just intuitively recognise patterns... this guy just does it at a savant like level
You are doing so much good for the world in finding these locations that are in the photographs that people have sent you of their loved ones. I have so much respect for what you are doing. Thank you.
I actually cant believe this. I stopped mid way though a geogessr session to watch this video... and when I go back, the very next map is the exact same darwin plonk as Rainbolt had... Crazy chance. At least I know where to go
Very impressive. I imagine there are some really high paying jobs for your skill set. Getting that close by just looking at grass is really impressive. How much of your guesses feels intuitive? You're so quick it seems intuitive or you have spent an insane amount of time and have literally "seen it all" a couple times.
The only way this makes sense (and it massively crushes his skill set, but he's still most likely fairly high IQ), is that there are only a set number of matches that you get in these games. For example, let's say 'South-west America' has 1,000 images of 'grass', and they are all 90% the same. This could be true, but would not even require you to remember 1,000 grass images. All you'd have to do is figure that 20 of these are always the same and always South-west, and then remember that general 'grass-ness'. This tells you all you need to know. Now, the hard part is doing the same thing for every country on Earth (about 195). So, that's at least 20 x 195 for 3,900 grass images to log in your mind, with most likely 1,000 other random ones that are harder to get/less common to pop up. That's still impressive and difficult, but I don't think it's anywhere near the 'true' scale of such things. You'd have to remember 1 million images otherwise, and that's just inhuman. If the game is very fixed, and you can just log 'American grass' after 2-5 matches (because it only shows certain grass each time), then you only have to remember about 1,000 images of 'grass' in total. (Of course, you need to do the same for buildings and otherwise -- but buildings are a bit easier to figure out.) Ironically, he made a mistake with the Greece image. He should have started with the popular locations. If he did this, instead of looking randomly, then he would have solved this in about 5 minutes instead of 3 hours.
your videos (both here and on tiktok) reignited my love of geography, and i ended spending a few days learning every country in the world just because i wanted to and i've never been more proud
5:40 If anyone is doubting this, you can literally tell Darwin apart from anywhere in Australia if you see the side of the road due to the dirt/grass combo.

The stitch is the one that got me, it’s so good. “Do you have a girl coming over?” “No”
I love the happiness (and pride?) in your smile when re-watching these.
Just watching you smile while you present the videos shows how good a of person you are. love this so much
you can see in his smile that hes pleased with what hes done
I swear RAINBOLT could track me down if he knew what color my grass is in my lawn.
The way his eyes lightup when he reacted to the second one OMG ❤️ bro you are a blessing
you can see him lagging at 9:42, bro isn't human
1:16 bro is calculating every detail just to find a place on Earth. Respect
Let’s be glad this man is on our side, imagine if he didn’t use his abilities for good 😂😂
Very impressive. I imagine there are some really high paying jobs for your skill set. Getting that close by just looking at grass is really impressive. How much of your guesses feels intuitive? You're so quick it seems intuitive or you have spent an insane amount of time and have literally "seen it all" a couple times.
The only way this makes sense (and it massively crushes his skill set, but he's still most likely fairly high IQ), is that there are only a set number of matches that you get in these games. For example, let's say 'South-west America' has 1,000 images of 'grass', and they are all 90% the same. This could be true, but would not even require you to remember 1,000 grass images. All you'd have to do is figure that 20 of these are always the same and always South-west, and then remember that general 'grass-ness'. This tells you all you need to know. Now, the hard part is doing the same thing for every country on Earth (about 195). So, that's at least 20 x 195 for 3,900 grass images to log in your mind, with most likely 1,000 other random ones that are harder to get/less common to pop up. That's still impressive and difficult, but I don't think it's anywhere near the 'true' scale of such things. You'd have to remember 1 million images otherwise, and that's just inhuman. If the game is very fixed, and you can just log 'American grass' after 2-5 matches (because it only shows certain grass each time), then you only have to remember about 1,000 images of 'grass' in total. (Of course, you need to do the same for buildings and otherwise -- but buildings are a bit easier to figure out.)
Ironically, he made a mistake with the Greece image. He should have started with the popular locations. If he did this, instead of looking randomly, then he would have solved this in about 5 minutes instead of 3 hours.
@@TheClassicWorld the images from geo are satelite map images randomly clipped i believe
Only realizing now that secret services will probably start scouting you soon
"Bro sneezed and still got it" like he isn't literally talking about himself xD
7:27 "uh uh uh uh eh eh"
😬 wtf
DUDE I HAD TO REWIND THE VIDEO BECAUSE I PANICKED AND THOUGHT I WAS SOMEHOW IN A DISCORD CALL OR SOMETHING
your videos (both here and on tiktok) reignited my love of geography, and i ended spending a few days learning every country in the world just because i wanted to and i've never been more proud
I love how happy he looks when watching his stuff
I'm curious whether the FBI has ever reached out to Rainbolt for assistance or insights regarding a photograph being utilized in an investigation :D
5:40 If anyone is doubting this, you can literally tell Darwin apart from anywhere in Australia if you see the side of the road due to the dirt/grass combo.
GPS: "Recalculating"
Rainbolt: "Left"
8:13 "You just remember these" my dude i can't remember the cross street of the theater I go to to see movies once a month wtf
2:50 ur smile gave me goosebumps. you are such a talented man doing so much good with your talent
Your content is evolving, nothing wrong with that.
Love this new direction, keep following your heart, it got you here so far.
Love how he is smiling when the video's start. You know he did something great here. Love it mate
This is some of the craziest stuff I’ve ever seen it’s not just his knowledge that’s impressive but how quickly he can look at a place and know exactly where it is. I just stumbled upon this on TH-cam I’ve never seen anything like it.
The violent space-bar slap is so iconic
10:24
As a Brazilian, it surely is Brazil, double yellow lines to separate opposite traffic with a single white line marking the shouders of the lanes, pretty standard ANTT horizontal signalling right there
2:53 that smile is so genuine he really cares
Kinda funny cause I had such issues maintaining my lawn after moving from Belgium to NZ. Now I know it's NZ grass being patchy that can't be helped lol
you just got to love this guy. so genuinely nice
Him-"This grass looks like somewhere in the south east"
*Me walkinf my dogs right now in Georgia* oh yeah that kinda looks like the grass in my yard
Him-" its in Georgia
The Mardi Gras one is insane!
the smile that pops up on Trevor's face when he rewatches the finding picture locations videos is so heartwarming, you really know he cares about those ones a lot 🤍
At like 7:32 there is such a weird sound that made me question if I was home alone, peobably not since he can find me using the picture of my floor.
Bro is the final boss when someone says to “go outside and touch grass”
"Which grass"
"Scanning..." This man is literally a human machine when it comes to pin point location finder.
living in cyprus and seeing my silly goofy lil island appear in a video was wild
Rainbolt speedrun, but the space taps are are bass-boosted
Love the girl asking a random relationships and then you say "no" and immediately go into geoguessr nerd mode
What a beautiful smile, you can see how passionate this guy is!
Dude, I can say I like that smile on his face.
🔱🦞
Sooo sick! But why the dramatic music lol
Gotta love rainbolts smile when he shows the clips. You can see that he is proud over himself, not only for himself but for making someone else happy! Big up my man
Yo rainbolt I just want to say ive only actively watched your stuff for a few days but Ive got huge respect for you. Not only for helping people find places that are important to them but for genuine skill. I hate the word Talent because it infers that you didnt have to work for it and as a once aspiring esports competitor I understand the amount of effort and sheer will it takes to get to this level. and I'm guessing memorizing the WORLD takes a bit more time & effort than getting to GM in overwatch.
You can see how happy he is finding locations for people. Its heartwarming.
