      Muricans trying to make euromemes. Notlikethis.png

      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.

        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.

        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.

        Not sure how you’d drive around NY (on a boat?), but I was pretty sure that DFW is at least just as big - must be, given how it’s population is only 2x smaller, but consists mostly of suburbs that consume vastly more space per person compared to Moscow’s commieblocks. There’s no neat circle roads there, though, but taking even the most encompassing route (which is fair game given how Moscow’s ring road also wraps around a lot of area not under Moscow jurisdiction) it still takes less time, even though the distance is higher.

    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.

    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.

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

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

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

    You can drive for an unlimited amount of time as long as you circle around the streets of your city

    In about a century it’ll be quite a bit smaller than it is now, meaning that 13 hours it takes to drive the Nether- I mean Holland would become… I’m guessing 10 hours (I have no idea how to calculate stuff like this myself, so please downvote this comment if I’m too far away from the correct answer)
