I'm an American and also don't see the humor in it.

I think the joke is your public transport.

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 5 points 6 months ago

No country on Earth has public transportation that would make a cross-continent relationship feasible.

[-] Midnitte@beehaw.org 2 points 6 months ago

No single country sure, but uh...

[-] AndrasKrigare@beehaw.org 1 points 6 months ago

What does that have to do with anything? Or is it just a "haha America bad"?

[-] monk@lemmy.unboiled.info 1 points 6 months ago

See context

[-] AndrasKrigare@beehaw.org 1 points 6 months ago

Cool, question remains

[-] monk@lemmy.unboiled.info 1 points 6 months ago

If there was a functioning public transport, they could just, you know, meet.

[-] AndrasKrigare@beehaw.org 1 points 6 months ago

You realize that distance is 4,700km, the distance between Lisbon and Moscow. It takes 3 days by train without a stopover. Public transportation doesn't make meetings any easier.

[-] monk@lemmy.unboiled.info 1 points 6 months ago

Yes, and I've personally taken three-day same-country trains before, back when it was the cheaper option. And guess what, non-private planes are also public transport.

Wait, so your "the joke is your public transport" comment is with the impression the US doesn't have planes? I still have no idea what the hell you were trying to say
