Aside from the incredibly low quality of the data, this jumps out as being vibe coded due to the unbeleviably stupid text.
"Rain as a surface; Height is millimetres of rain per day. Nothing else is encoded."
Why does AI generated ridiculous sentences like these?

    If your experience was actually worse than my astonishingly janky mobile experience, that would be pathetic. Pretty bad. It looked cool for a second, and then when I tried to zoom in to where I live, I was instantly too irritated to bother.

    Yes, and I insisted quite a bit because I was curious about a coast. I wonder if this is some kind of UI Neuralese, maybe the simulated scroll/touch attempts made sense to only it.
