I can drive in my neighbourhood for 40 hours and still be in my neighbourhood. The street forms a loop.

It doesn't blow our mind at all. We couldn't give a fuck. Its a pointless statement.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (4 children)

What blows mind is that you leave London drive three hours in any direction and everyone has a unique accent.

Actually, they were trying to drive across their suburban neighbourhood, but the way streets are built it takes 30 hours to go around it 🤡

In California, depending on traffic, it can take 2 hours to move 20 feet. Anyone out East ever just feel like you'd reach your destination faster by just getting out and walking?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Once while driving through LAX, the traffic was bad enough that we were traveling side by side with a broken down car that two dudes were pushing. They even had plenty of opportunities to rest.

New Jersey just had one of its MAJOR bridges shut down in the middle of the work day which delayed people as much as 10+h for those who had a average ride of 15 minutes. People started biking and walking to work because it was so much quicker.

I don't really think this counts, since he doubles back around at a point, I mean, if you're allowed to do that, you can drive for 30 hours almost anywhere, and still be in the same area.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Loopty loop. If your open to that you should carefully plan your route through local streets to make drawings.

Also if time is what counts remember to leave on time for rush hour and prefer inner roads with lots of traffic lights.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's a loop around the border of the state, not doubling back, but yeah.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

You're right, apart from the bridge and the immediate way back at the farthest north point, they didn't retrace any steps. But yeah.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Same road, different lanes I guess.

Hate the game, not the player. The UP doesn't really fit in MI.

1400 miles is roughly the Autobahn in northrhine Westphalia I Guess you could drive aimlessly around those if that's your thing

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

and do it at top speed!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

After driving in the UP for mile after mile, you'll be ready to leave.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Careful what you say my dude. Joe Pera will come for you...

I live in a 274 year old building with original stained glass windows. The US mind cannot comprehend this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, we would have replaced them with at least double pane windows to keep heating and cooling costs down by now. Central AC is standard most places here. Especially because I grew up in what could be considered the northern part of a swamp.
