The US has so much space

Btw you can do it also in Germany more or less.

I believe it's possible also in France .

Edit: don't want to insult anyone, I was just curious, nothing else.

Ok but western Australia has everybody here beat

Just take the train...

Oh, sorry, my European mind did not realize that that option doesn't exist over there.....

Yep, I cannot comprehend how there is so much space allocated to so few people and they still drown in one fucking housing crisis after another.

If you are going to gobble up that much space for yourselves on this planet that we all share, stop fucking around and put it to good use!

Pff, with traffic jams you can do that without ever leaving Brussels.

And I bet it was all filler content and shitty roaming monster encounters. Open world design has gone too far!

Here in the UK I could spend 13 hours on the M25 and would have only gone four junctions. The American mind cannot comprehend this.

The European mind just cannot comprehend such distances

My european mind can very well comprehend this. And a few hours more

Texas is about the size of France you daft cunts. You just can't drive there quicker because your infrastructure is so fucked 😂

A French person takes the high speed train lmao

Meh... You can drive 13hrs in Australia and not see another person.

All these guys are posting crossing their whole country, but as Texas is one state, it's fair to say that's the same as a province.

Shared route From Windsor, Ontario to Kenora, Ontario via ON-401 E.

23 hr 6 min (2,190 km) For the best route in current traffic visit https://maps.app.goo.gl/Jmm9TmKVu79bTANq5

Staying only within Ontario, Canada it takes almost one full day of literally non stop driving.

This whole thread is the strangest dick measuring contest.

There is no road between two major cities. American mind cannot comprehend this.

I didn't realise Texas was so small. Americans talk about it like it's big.

Not even the longest route within one state by a long shot:

As usual, California beats Texas

European here (Brit). I could drive for 13 hours along the M60 and still be on the M60. No problem comprehending that.

Welcome to Finland.

Extra Points if you count all the confederate flags and truck nuts that you see along the way!

i can drive for 13 hours and not leave my driveway (i dont know how to drive)

Giggles in aussie

You cannot drive 13 hours from Texas and still be in Texas. In order to drive from someplace you have to leave there.

You can drive 13 hours through Texas. That’s possible.

Western Australia has entered the chat

Now someone reverse it for me, what's the MOST amount of countries you can drive through in 13 hours?

You can drive for 138 hours from Ruasia and end up in Russia:

Google maps don't let me zoom out to show entire route.

EDIT: you can drive in Russia without leaving it for 161 hours:

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

So anyway as you where saying

Yes, I can nearly feel my European mind shambling.

"In the US, 100 years is a long time, but in Europe, 100 miles is a long way"

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.

Tbf you drive super slow on your lonely highways. If that Was an Autobahn you could easily cut that time in half.

A lot of you guys sharing pictures of your whole country as a 15 hour drive are missing the point here.

You can drive for 10 hours and 30 minutes and still be in Germany.

In northern Canada you could drive that long without even seeing another person lol

23 hours to go from Cornwall, Ontario to Kenora, Ontario by the most direct route.

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.

Sure, but I can drive for more than 11 hours and still be in Romania 👍

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.

I know lots of euro bros are showing how long their country is, but I think the point is that Texas is a state, not country. When you compare those things it's quite impressive, however still not even the largest state in the world. Here are some others. A nice drive from Anchorage to Prudhoe Bay will cost you 17 hours, or in Amazonas, Brazil, Manaus to Cruzeiro do Sul is 33 hours.

To the guy who annexed Arizona into California in order to beat Texas, shame.

Finland: 17 hours from Utsjoki to Helsinki.
Norway: 36 hours from Vardø to Lindsenes.
Sweden: idk why you'd go there

Okay, but who wants to be in Texas?

Euros: Why didn't Americans go to other countries?

Americans: there's only three countries on our entire damned continent, and ours is in the middle. Without needing to fly we have literally two choices. It we could drive for a thousand miles and still be in America.

All of continental Europe is smaller than our country and we mostly all speak the same language, more or less. It's debatable if Louisianans speak English.

You can do that and still not get all the way through Nordland county (!) in Norway 🤷

oh look, an international dick measuring contest... except without dicks!

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

half of that time is sitting in san antonio traffic.

You can ride train for 16 hours in Poland and still be in Poland

The Euopean mind cannot comprehend having to drive 13 hours for what would take a train only 3

Fucking eat it Texas!

Pfft, come to Ontario Canada, from 2 different boarders you can drive 24 hours and still be in Onterrible

You can drive 23 hours across Ontario and still be in Ontario. And that's not even considering the northern parts.

Some people in Daytona Beach can drive 500 miles without even leaving the stadium.

they say everything is bigger in Texas and that includes Texas

Russia is in Europe and probably thinks that's cute.

California can be "longer". Could probably get to 14 hours.

Smith River to San Ysidro:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=california&ia=web&iaxm=directions&iax=images&end=what%3ASan%2520Ysidro%2Cwhere%3ASan%2520Diego%252C%2520CA%252C%2520United%2520States&transport=drive&start=what%3ASmith%2520River%252C%2520CA%2Cwhere%3AUnited%2520States

Can confirm. When we moved back to Colorado from Austin, we drove all day at 55mph (truck was speed limited) which was about 13 hours, and we were still in Texas. It was very disheartening.

Try tiny Norway with 6m people, you can drive 1 day 18 hours (almost 3000km)from the southwest to the northeast, shortest route.

russia. need i say more?

With a car crappy enough you can take much longer for a much shorter distance

The US has so much space

Yet property is expensive and mostly owned by the wealthy🤦‍♂️

I once drove 6 hours to get out of Texas only to be stuck miles from the border for another 6 hours because three semi-trucks collided and caught fire...

Once again for those who didn't make it to our last session:

The M25.

Texas is bigger than Germany.

People need to learn what ragebait means

If I make sure to leave at peak commute time I'm pretty I can do that just for Paris-Marseille.

We should turn the entire desert in Texas into a solar farm, and provide enough electricity for the entire world.

I'm Canadian, I drive 17 hours to get to work everyday.

I took the family on vacation to Texas a couple weeks ago. Flew into Houston, stayed there a few nights, then Austin for a few, then Dallas, for a couple then back to Houston for a few more and flew back.

Just mapping out the loop between the three cities is 9.5 hours and 623 miles. Add in slowdowns for poor visibility due to weather, stops to charge and use the restroom (with small kids), it was easily 12 hours, at least, of total road time.

Now do Alaska, Im willing to bet that you could find a route that will take a week even in the summer

I really can't. That's long. (At least for someone from middle EU)

Yeah, well, I can drive 1 hour and cross 3 borders. And I won't have to go through an immigration/customs checkpoint at any of these borders.

How about Sweden?

Russia: am I a joke to you?

Let's just say that when crossing the Pyrenees you don't want to stray from the main north-south(ish) roads...

The American mind can't just comprehend that there's world besides the USA. Australia, Germany, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Finland as many pointed out all have longer routes. Don't let me get started on Russia or we might end up with a new race between the US and Russia trying to come with the longest road.

Another thing the American mind can't just comprehend (about Europe) is how someone can drive across multiple countries without ever stopping on checkpoints/border controls/customs and most of time without even exiting/changing highways.

The American mind can’t just comprehend what it is to send money to a friend in another EU country with just a single number. No 3rd party services, no routing and account numbers, no fees, no banking shenanigans. Simply login into your European bank, type the value and the IBAN and the transfer is done. :)

laughing cries in Brazilian

My european mind doesn't give a shit about the us , it doesn't even think of it .

Americans think 13 hours in the same state is big? Cute!

Well, I comprehend. I've never been to the US but I have read enough to know that several American states are so huge that they could be their own country. And it's not just the geographic size, each states are have their own cultures and laws so indeed they might as well be their own country.

If Federal Europe does happen (I will give it 50 years if either or both World War 3 and global warming did not destroy the entire humanity), we'd get similar memes in Europe like this.

On the other hand, when you start from Texline (which I suppose is the starting point of that 13 hour journey) in the northeast of the state, you could easily escape Texas within minutes.

On the other hand, in Europe you can get through a number of countries in thirteen hours just because we have a working road system.

IMO the USA doesn't have that much "space" it just takes awhile to cross. Land utilization is fairly high and much of unused lands needs constant conservation efforts to maintain wildlife.

It seems the European mind is not that bright if you think a country's distance is equivalent to a state.
