The world is breaking apart. I’m sure there is some fancy computer term for this but I don’t know what it is. As a reference this is Sneath Lane/Cherry ave intersection in San Bruno CA. Now ID all the cars on the street.

That’s just the google earth 3d view but you’re looking at it way closer than you were ever supposed to since all the 3d data is super low-resolution and buggy due to the way it’s generated. The random lines are because the “camera” is inside an object.

Kind of like how bridges and dams follow the earth contours and not their actual location in space.

Looks like a botched transition between street view and 3D satellite view. I sometimes see things like that when playing around with the scroll wheel.
