So quick and so precise from a seemingly random piece of land in a random ass country. How??

Lots of practice, and lots of learning.
You can find locations in geoguessr through a combination of context clues, and process of elimination.
There are lots of bits of information in geoguessr images that can tell you which country or region you’re in.
They include things like road markings, road signs, lamp-posts/street lighting, types of plant life, whether the sun is in the north or south, the specific google car used to take the images.
It also helps to know which countries don’t have google street view imagery, because these won’t be possible answers.
Once you know which country you’re in, you can use more specific landmarks like shapes of roads and junctions, natural landmarks like hills and mountains, and lots of other potential clues, to find the specific location.
So this is how you generally find each location.
When you play geoguessr for hundreds or thousands of hours, you stop having to think about a lot of this stuff.
You build up an intuition for what different countries look like, and you also get good at differentiating between regions that look very similar.
The best players will also explicitly learn specific things for each country, like shapes/colours of car licence plates, the colour and number of stripes painted on telephone poles and lampposts, the colours and types of road markings.
