SquorlpleGru when he sees one of his adopted daughters:
Yes, but then you have to see fields of tulips instead of glorious pine trees!
As an American, I’d probably die if I had to see all of those tulips.
The Netherlands is just tulips and stroopwafels, change my mind.
bdonvrThat’s just cause y’all’s roads are slow.
Is that scale real?

I didn’t see no banana!
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.
And you can still drive 13 hours and stay in Texas.
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
Laughs in no speed limit
It's about twice the size of New Jersey ...
I mean if you take your time and cherry pick it, you might be able to touch 5 or six states in the trip.
Using texas as scale was funny, but you could fit that entirely in most states pretty easily.
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.
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 :)
kamenladyFirst 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.
AnUnusualRelicWhat kind of crazy person drives in NYC?
Some of us have no choice. I drive for work sometimes and jesus it’s so frustrating. Can turn a 12hr work day into a 16hr one.
A fitting punishment for choosing to drive in NYC
I know so many people who choose to drive. It blows my mind. Like, yeah, the subways can be frustrating, but nowhere near as frustrating as driving in the city.
Bikes are the best way to get around the city.
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.

We have roundabouts. They’re just rare and the drivers become temporarily retarded when going in/out of them.
LileathThat 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?
§ 30 (1) StVO, but it’s rather limited.
VoyajerNow I want to know how long it would take to circumnavigate other countries and states in a leaderboard
samus12345Starting with Russia.
🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮 🏆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.
SotuandusoI 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.
Patapon Enjoyer> 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.
>13hrs from Pensacola, FL to Key West, FL
Well that trip has maybe 1 hour in Holland. The rest is other provinces.
🤫 They don’t know that
Are nether labs anything like nether regions?
yes, in the sense that they have negative elevation ;)
AkasazhSpeak for yourself
Is this a euphamism for fellatio? Because I believe Amsterdam has that.
Everyone knows Holland = Netherlands =
Holland
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.
✨️🎇🎆🌐🗺🌐🎆🎇✨️and yet people are homeless
And no room for immigrants
gerryflapThis meme is a joke. Of course the Netherlands is absolutely tiny, of course you can drive further in pretty much every US state.
