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 :)

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

Well that trip has maybe 1 hour in Holland. The rest is other provinces.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (9 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months 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

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

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

Best of all, you can likely make that same lap on bicycle as well as the cycling infrastructure is beyond awesome.

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.

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

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
