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.
oh look, an international dick measuring contest… except without dicks!
Meh… You can drive 13hrs in Australia and not see another person.
Same goes for Alaska/Canada/Russia/China. This meme must have been made by stereotypical self centered texan lmao
Yeah, you can fit Texas 4.5 times into Yakutia in Russia.
Australia enters the chat,
Oi, mate, 13 hours to cross a state, that’s cute.
I mean in fairness Australia is a whole ass country
Edit: today I learned Australia also has states :)
You’ve lost me the USA is a country as well.?
In Aus, we have a state called Western Australia (we’re really imaginative with naming,) and its friggin huge…! (Pictured)
Approx 2.6 million km2 Or approx 1 million sq freedom units
Good to see another Aussie pointing out that WA is Bigger than Texas!
Everything’s bigger in Texas, except WA that shit is huge…!
Initially I did Kununurra to Eucla which is approx 40hrs, but you can do it in 38 hrs if you go through the territory and SA. In the efforts of keeping things fair and saying in the same state such as the OP, Esperance seemed to prove the point. There’s defs longer commutes, but shy of triple seemed to be enough to prove a point.
PS love the username
Kununurra to Eucla is 40 hours, suprisingly it’s 3 hours quicker to go through northern territory and south Australia.
Cheers, thought I’d let them know who they’re arguing with.
Funny, we have similar distances in India it seems but with travel times on Google Maps mentioned in days instead of hours thanks to our excellent roads
If you think that Australia is huge, you should play with navigation in Russia.
It’s not the same, you’re using metric hours. :)
Get it right. It’s utus. Universal Time Units.
You can suck my utus
To be fair days are different: metric day is always 86400 seconds long while UTC day is 86399-86401 seconds long.
Hahahahahaha, you made me spit my coffee, take my upvote
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.
Fucking eat it Texas!
Wtf is a Woonsocket?
Its where you plug in your pawtucket
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.
Pff, with traffic jams you can do that without ever leaving Brussels.
Western Australia has entered the chat
i can drive for 13 hours and not leave my driveway (i dont know how to drive)
My european mind doesn’t give a shit about the us , it doesn’t even think of it .
A lot of you guys sharing pictures of your whole country as a 15 hour drive are missing the point here.
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
Oh, hon hon.
high speed train
lol, those trains are meant for cargo and military jeeps you non-American. You gotta use the highways like god intended.
I agree, our infrastructure is definitely fucked. But the US has ~10 million sq km of space to France’s ~552,000 sq km.
Europe has 10 sq km. Let’s not compare pommes to oranges.
Right, but they were the ones comparing a country to a state to begin with, so I compared a country to a country. If you want to compare continents… That’s a different story.
Its still over 8 hours by train and you have to deal with train people for over 8 hours.
train people
Normal human beings
You imply the French are normal people.
Crack heads are not normal
A TGV-ride is not a subway ride. Different comfort, Different prices, rather few crackheads on tgv.
California can be “longer”. Could probably get to 14 hours.
Smith River to San Ysidro:
pfft. its even longer in illinois if you drive into chicago during friday evening rush :)
“Chains recommended”
bedroom door sign
Nice. I wonder how much “fun” that drive is.
If it’s anything like the rest of Alaska, it’s probably beautiful
You’re probably right.
I was thinking of how rough the roads must be.
I like that because of the roads it’s actually faster to go up into Oregon and back down into California. Hehehe
Ok but western Australia has everybody here beat
The American mind cannot comprehend this!
How long is the drive from Nome to Juneau?
I just punched it into my GPS to find out and it came back with results for plane tickets lol, I didn’t even know my GPS app could do that
deleted by creator
It’s only 1hr longer than Tweed Heads to Cape York in QLD
And there’s about a 40% chance to survive the trip.
Well there’s a European country where you need a week long train trip from one part of it to the other.
Americans don’t really care about how big AUS is, we just can’t figure out how your wildlife is as deadly as our high school students
It’s mostly the emus that you need to watch out for… Just ask our army
Is there a secret emu army? Ready to repel all potential land invaders somehow crazy enough to attempt Australia?
I was coming in with this cause it’s straighter haha.
Then see you WA post.
I’ve done both of these trips before too and them some to get where I’m actually going
I haven’t done the WA one but I’ve done Adelaide to Darwin which was a very barron but beautiful drive, would love to do the WA trip one day
Sounds like the perfect place to go for a drive and listen to the Left Right game.
So?
True. Everyone there lives on the southeast side, though.
The world bows to Australia
Russia: am I a joke to you?
