I know what these weird ocean-bound liminal spaces in Google Street View actually are and they're still giving me the creeps

pcgamer.com:

I feel sorry for the Google Street View pin. A dangly little yellow dude, picked up by millions of mouse cursors worldwide and unceremoniously dropped into locations across the planet, only to silently scream the visions it sees from its yellow, deadened eyes. Here is the view of where you seek, it seems to say. Now leave me here, alone and adrift. My purpose is served, and I must make my way home.

Should you happen to drop one of these hapless, pitiful mannequins into the middle of the ocean, however, there's a possibility they might report back something entirely unexpected (via Futurism). That's how certain redditors have been spending their time, and they've found all sorts of surprising results, like this liminal-like commercial interior apparently located along the mid-Atlantic ridge, just north of the Azores.

This looks to be the inside of a hardware store listed as the «Joca Construção», although it's safe to assume that it's not actually located atop the second largest ocean basin of our fair planet.

The listing was created by «Visual Art Brasil», which seems to be a digital marketing agency, so there's a possibility here we're all being fooled by an underground viral marketing campaign for....paint? Ladders? Reasonably priced curtain hooks? I'm still really not sure.

The mystery continues, as Reddit user KillHitlerAgain has also located several other Street View interiors that seem to depict commercial spaces, and like all the best thrillers, there's an obvious pattern. Cue the swelling music, pens falling from researchers mouths, and a slow zoom in on the protagonists visage: They appear to be, wait for it, in a grid.

That's no moon. Anyway, Futurism did a bit more poking around and found a few more to add to the list, including a Street View of a Polish restaurant in Germany also seemingly located in the Atlantic. It's not just the second largest ocean getting in on the action, either. The mighty South Pacific gets an erroneous entry all of its own,
