I mean, if we wanna be silly about it
Bonus, here’s my travels from my home-state from my current home to my girlfriend’s home-state, back and to where we are planning on moving next year.
63 hours? Pffft. Driving in Russia for 161 hours:
161 hours is a very optimistic estimation… given the extreme weather conditions and the awful roads at the far east.
That’s just cause y’all’s roads are slow.
I was in Texas for the eclipse. It messed me up driving on little two lane country roads with a 75mph speed limit. Back home only the big highways get close to that
And you can still drive 13 hours and stay in Texas.
Is that scale real?
Yeah, I-10 goes straight across the western most to Eastern most part of Texas and is almost 900 miles long. The average US state is larger than the average European country if you only count Russia west of the Urals. Europeans think of the US as a country similar to the UK or Germany when theu really need to think of it more like the EU and each state it’s own country. New York City to Los Angeles is almost exactly the same distance as Moscow to Portugal. Seattle to Miami is like London to Bagdad.
Europeans understand the concept of states, lots of european countries are subdivided into states. The USA is one country, a large one but still only one.
It doesn’t change the fact that the US is more analogous to a super nation organization like the EU than any particular European state. Texas and California aren’t conducting their own foreign diplomacy like the Spain or France are, but their internal laws, taxation, bureaucracies are wildly different, with each state essentially out for itself with the federal government intervening in extreme cases. Ohio and Michigan have GDP’s that are equivalent to Austria and Switzerland. Comparing Texas to Bavaria is as ridiculous as comparing New York City to Singapore.

I didn’t see no banana!
I can drive 12 hours across BC and just barely hit the border. The short way.
Do it for no PST.
Or, you know, go down to washington state, which hasnt fucked over BC’s envrionment and doesnt take 4 tanks of gas to get therr and back.
If you drove circles around my neighborhood for 13 hours, you’d still be in my neighborhood. The non-local area’n mind cannot comprehend this.
If you sit in the car and make engine noises for 13 hours you’d still be in my driveway! The adult mind cannot comprehend this.
13 hours from now I’ll still be on the couch…
If I sat in my car and made engine noises for 13 hours, I’d die from carbon monoxide poisoning. My adult mind cannot comprehend this.
Mind. Circled.
I can drive for like 2 minutes in my mind and still be in my mind. Beyond that I’m more limited by my attention span than the amount of space I can imagine.
> get in car
> drive for 13 hours
> still at home
> wtf how?
It’s called sim racing addiction.
Don’t worry, they just competed in Le Mans Virtual.
After seeing the other post a minute ago. This is the shit posting that I love to see.
Sir this is a circle
In Europe you can drive around a roundabout for 13 hours the American mind can not comprehend this.
In Europe you can drive around a roundabout
for 13 hoursthe American mind can not comprehend this.That is actually not legal in Germany. It is forbidden to drive without a reason although this almost never actually gets controlled by anyone.
Source? Or is it a famous quote from Georges Washington?
We have roundabouts. They’re just rare and the drivers become temporarily retarded when going in/out of them.
>13hrs from Pensacola, FL to Key West, FL. 832 mi / 1340 km
Well that trip has maybe 1 hour in Holland. The rest is other provinces.
🤫 They don’t know that
Are nether lands anything like nether regions?
yes, in the sense that they have negative elevation ;)
Speak for yourself
Is this a euphamism for fellatio? Because I believe Amsterdam has that.
If you drive the border of Texas it is a trip more than 40 hours long. Two straight days of non-stop driving. The US is stupid big and has an insane amount of roadways, you could drive your whole life and have roads you have never been on.
Haha. Two days. Tiny. Itty bitty state. Not even as big as New South Wales.
and yet people are homeless
And no room for immigrants
This has me curious about the extremes of the relationship between perimeter length and area of various states. Time to go down a YouTube rabbithole I think, stand up maths probably has something on it.
This meme is a joke. Of course the Netherlands is absolutely tiny, of course you can drive further in pretty much every US state.
Best of all, you can likely make that same lap on bicycle as well as the cycling infrastructure is beyond awesome.
I want that here. I feel like so much less of a dying lazy ass when I bike places. I also don’t zonk out and suddenly realize I’m at the destination with no recollection of anything leading up to it since getting into the car.
You can cycle for 13 hours anywhere in the country and still be alive, usa’nean mind can’t comprehend this
This is who I expected to be delivering that line
I’m reasonably sure that that route neither begins nor ends in Holland. I think Holland is the western area of the Netherlands, not the northernmost bit.
You can drive for an unlimited amount of time as long as you circle around the streets of your city
Doesn’t count
Is Lemiers really Holland, though?
TIL in Texas and Holland you can only drive on a road once.
