Why do I have to pick both a location AND year? Why not focus this game on the year only?

All the pictures I got were from the US. That makes me happy with my 3955 (Top 31%) score, though I'd have appreciated more geographical variety.

Creator here, sorry about that! Most days have more geographic diversity, and I'm working on improving it.

That's like asking why a weather app needs both a date and city - the temperature on July 4th matters, but it's completely different in New York vs. Cairo. Same with this - the year sets the global context, but the location defines the local experience.
