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
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.
What 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.
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.
I 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.
> 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.
I can walk 13 hours in my bedroom and still be in my bedroom. An insane mind cannot comprehend this.
Doesn’t make sense. Can you prove it?
Well that trip has maybe 1 hour in Holland. The rest is other provinces.
🤫 They don’t know that
Are nether lands anything like nether regions?
yes, in the sense that they have negative elevation ;)
Is this a euphamism for fellatio? Because I believe Amsterdam has that.
Speak for yourself
Everyone knows Holland = Netherlands = Holland
You can cycle for 13 hours anywhere in the country and still be alive, usa’nean mind can’t comprehend this
This is who I expected to be delivering that line
Gru when he sees one of his adopted daughters:
You can walk 13 hours towards Mordor and still not be in Mordor. One does not simply walk into Mordor.
It’s funny how Google Maps has a reference to this if you tell it to give you walking directions to “Mordor”.
Although I don’t think it works with every starting location.
Damn, that meme really struck a nerve with the Europeans, huh?
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.
I just liked the meme
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 may not be the biggest by area, but it sure is a long boy.
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.
It didn’t really seem like an argument to me… more like a joke that some people took way too seriously.
Normally the good jokes are also somewhat smart, even though they are not “serious”. A joke about Texas being big is not very smart, IMHO. Is also not very original, as it’s not the first one I’ve seen in this vein. And above all, it’s specially stupid to end it with a remark about “The European mind cannot comprehend this”, because Europeans know a lot more about the US than the US people know about Europe.
IOW, it’s not that it’s struck a nerve, it’s that it was legit bad.
PS: Oh, and, the fact that it appeals to Europeans, it seems like it appeals on Europe as a whole, which makes it doubly stupid, because then individual members of the EU/continent are like USA states, and then each member/state has routes as long as the one in the original meme.
I never said it was a good joke… smh. Looks like its easy to trigger the Europeans nowadays. I’m assuming you’re European; could be wrong here. Please correct me if so.
Normally the good jokes are also somewhat smart, even though they are not “serious”. A joke about Texas being big is not very smart, IMHO
Yeah this is literally Europeans clowning on the dumb “joke” with our own version of the dumb joke.
I’m just glad yall found a new joke
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)
Best joke of the day! You wouldn’t even consider the road across a road, lmao, perimeter.
Yeah, but plenty of the land contributed to Russia doesn’t belong to them, so its fake
To Magadan!
You can drive 30minutes into Russia and end up in Ukraine! No matter where you start from
If you are male russian citizen between age of 18 and 30, that is not currently a student, then yes. Or doctor of any age.
New friend: “hey, we live close, why don’t you come over?”
You: go full circle through the whole country to get there
It’s like that one time in Australia when the road was closed
Better to book a flight to circumnavigate the globe first.
You can drive 13 hours from R’lyeh and still be in R’lyeh, the euclidean mind cannot comprehend this.
Holland is only the western part of the netherlands.
Muricans trying to make euromemes. Notlikethis.png
Or at least that’s what it feels like
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.
63 hours? Pffft. Driving in Russia for 161 hours:
161 hours is a very optimistic estimation… given the extreme weather conditions and the awful roads at the far east.
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.
