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.

Yes, I can nearly feel my European mind shambling.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Okay, but who wants to be in Texas?

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.
