You can drive 13 hours from NYC and still be in NYC. A sane mind cannot comprehend this.

Especially if you take the tunnel

The truelly scary part is you only be a mile away if your lucky :)

First time visiting, i arrived in Sāo Paulo in a Bus, when i saw the sign "Welcome to Sāo Paulo i stood up and started to get my things... When we got to the São Paulo Bus Station, 5 hours later, i understood why the other passengers were very amused by my behavior.

A fitting punishment for choosing to drive in NYC

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.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 33 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Entropywins@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

13 hours from now I'll still be on the couch...

This is who I expected to be delivering that line

[-] KrankyKong@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago

Damn, that meme really struck a nerve with the Europeans, huh?

[-] liv@lemmy.nz 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

As someone from neither place - I'm guessing it didn't strike a nerve, so much as it struck a funny bone.

There's just something ludicrous about the phrasing.

Dunno, but 13 hours is not that much really. I can drive for more than 13 hours straight, in Italy, without going in circles, staying on the highway, traveling between two region capitals and not counting the islands. And it's Italy, not exactly the biggest country in the world. Or even in Europe.

PS: in August that's 24hrs

It is more like a ridiculous argument that we are now ridiculing.

Show me one person who brags about driving in a single location for so many hours, outside of the memes.

[-] KrankyKong@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

It didn't really seem like an argument to me... more like a joke that some people took way too seriously.

You can walk 13 hours towards Mordor and still not be in Mordor. One does not simply walk into Mordor.

You can drive in Russia for 161 hours and still be in Russia:

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

And that's not even a lap like the OP's picture (if Russia even has such roads to approximate driving the perimeter)

[-] monk@lemmy.unboiled.info 7 points 1 year ago

Best joke of the day! You wouldn't even consider the road across a road, lmao, perimeter.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but plenty of the land contributed to Russia doesn't belong to them, so its fake

You can drive 13 hours from R'lyeh and still be in R'lyeh, the euclidean mind cannot comprehend this.

New friend: "hey, we live close, why don't you come over?"

You: go full circle through the whole country to get there

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It’s like that one time in Australia when the road was closed

Muricans trying to make euromemes. Notlikethis.png

Or at least that's what it feels like

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's just cause y'all's roads are slow.

Texas has many roads with 80/85mph limits. (128/136kph)

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

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

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.

[-] uis@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

63 hours? Pffft. Driving in Russia for 161 hours:

[-] drathvedro@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

161 hours is a very optimistic estimation... given the extreme weather conditions and the awful roads at the far east.

[-] ChillPenguin@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

After seeing the other post a minute ago. This is the shit posting that I love to see.

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 13 points 1 year ago

TIL in Texas and Holland you can only drive on a road once.

In Europe you can drive around a roundabout for 13 hours the American mind can not comprehend this.

[-] amio@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

In Europe you can drive around a roundabout ~~for 13 hours~~ the American mind can not comprehend this.

I have actually encountered this phenomenon, and it involves neither Americans nor Europeans. I live in Korea, and I'm from Canada. I've had to explain that no, I have never been to Vancouver because it's something like 8000 km from where I lived on the opposite coast in Canada. At least a couple weeks of driving. In Korea, the furthest you can be from anywhere is about a four-hour drive.

[-] drathvedro@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Apparently it only takes 9hrs to drive around Moscow. US guys, your time to shine! I bet you'd have a city that would take more time to drive around than Netherlands

[-] Phoonzang@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Is Lemiers really Holland, though?
