Using OSINT and geolocation methods, I figure out where people's videos were recorded (when they ask me to do that)
Pinned
It occurred to me that maybe I should introduce myself 🤪
You should follow me here if you want to hear what I have to say about all sorts of nerdy topics, but go subscribe to my YouTube channel if you're interested in watching my #geolocation videos!

So, I don't know who might want to know this, but I set up a Facebook page. I got tired of all of the imposter accounts posting my content there 😅

Anyway, if you (or a boomer you know) watches reels on Facebook, this account is actually me, hence the URL

I had a dream last night where I realized it was a dream because of some detail that didn’t make sense, and when I woke up it occurred to me that I was out here debunking my dream like it was an AI video 😝

Guys, what if dreams are just AI slop? 🤔

I posted a new #geolocation video and in the first 30 minutes the engagement on YouTube is beating the hell out of my TikTok numbers -despite the fact that I have 1.9M followers on TikTok and fewer than 30K subs on YouTube.

Make it make sense, TikTok. 😡

Is it just me, or does Strands sound as if it’s being a bit insincere - sarcastic even? - with its opening remarks? 😅

I just found a place I've been looking for for a long time. I can't believe I found it.

I'm thinking this one might need to be the Season 3 finale 😝 Watch for that some time this week. #geolocation

Today is my TikTok anniversary - I posted my very first geolocation video on TikTok three years ago today!

I'm just sayin: I simply do not believe Instagram is as bad at detecting nudity as it pretends to be. I think they let that shit slide on purpose.

You’ve probably seen it before: Lowe’s and Home Depot, sitting right next to each other. But why?

I asked @josemonkey.com to figure out how often these rivals cluster in real life. The answer may surprise you, but the explanation goes back nearly 100 years.

So, What (Economics Concepts) Can We See?
Why are Lowe’s and Home Depot so often neighbors? With help from TikTok sleuth JoseMonkey, we looked at the actual data and found dozens of store pairs close enough to share a parking lot. Turns out, ...

In an upcoming video, and I talk about Lowe's and Home Depot being competitors. I was playing around w/different silly visuals to put on-screen for that part, and I got the crazy idea to make a Clash Royale style battle screen. I decided not to use it for the video, but here it is 😝

For a while now, I have avoided doing #geolocation videos when the person who submitted the video is driving. First, that's unsafe. Second, TikTok will flag my video as showing unsafe activity. (Go figure.)

My old ass iPhone cannot be updated to iOS 26.
My old ass MacBook cannot be updated to macOS 26.
My slightly newer Mac mini (2020), can *technically* be upgraded to Tahoe, but I bet I don't have enough free storage for it.

So, I guess I'll be using iOS 18 and Sequoia for the foreseeable future 🤷‍♂️

I'm so frustrated rn. I just found a location that somebody asked me to find, but after I did I noticed that somebody said exactly where it is in the comments on their video. Which basically means I can't use it now. Nobody's going to believe me that I didn't use that to find it 🤷‍♂️

Microwaves are awesome if you ever wished you could time travel to find out what the last thing you reheated in it smelled like. Like a little smemory time capsule for leftovers.

Guess who’s verified on TikTok? Not me! 😫 I have requested verification eight (!) times over the last couple years, and I’ve seen the rejection message every time. So I decided to make it into a t-shirt 🤷‍♂️
