I keep telling everybody that says the US is full that I've been to the fucking Dakotas and I disagree.

Bfd. I can drive 13 hours in Germany from the Dutch border and still be stuck in a fucking traffic jam around Frankfurt on highway 3 and never get to my skiing destination in Austria.

I miss the days when Google maps would tell you to get in a canoe for transoceanic routes.

I suspect some enterprising person actually tried it, thus depriving the rest of us our directional humor.

Meanwhile in Canada it takes nearly a full day to drive from one side of Ontario to the other. I have more faith in the European mind comprehending this than the USA'ean mind.

Let's not talk driving hours, let us talk mileage. 13 hours on a Texas highway is going to cover much more land than trying to drive some 12th century side street in an Italian village at 5km/h.

It was crazy to realize on a recent road trip through the middle of the US, that half of my day's planned drive was the width of Germany.

Okay, but who wants to be in Texas?

In North America, we think 100 years is a long time. In Europe they think 100 miles is a long distance.

[-] zarcher@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Honestly have no idea how far 100 miles is. 100 km however is not too bad.
