East coast beans meet west coast beans
The Eurobean Mind Cannot Comprehend
Cannot comprehend miles? Yeah, use a measurement system that makes sense!
What’s so hard to comprehend? 4 inches to a hand, 3 hands to a foot, and 5280 feet to a mile. It’s a straightforward pattern!
(I hope it’s not needed, but this is definitely sarcasm)
We do, but only for bullets.
Honey, wake up, Lemmy is posting bean memes again!
Meme bean combeanation…al
I’m still thinkin about them beans (memes)
Yeah, no idea what a mi is in sensible units.
Amazing!
It’s Saturday Night Live. It’s an American Humour* channel by the corpos.
* the cringy type of humour - I do not understand why people like it. Oh well.
In freedom land, we spell that American Humor, you commie
Learn some proper English, you cappie
I speak 'Murican, brother. And jokes on you, I don’t even wear too much hats! Except mah trucker hat when I’m drinking my bud light and firing off freedom fighting bullets from my truckkk.
But why does the train take twice as long?
Most railways are privately owned by freight companies which passenger trains must also use. Because of this, freight trains always get priority for using the rail first while passenger trains have to wait for the line to clear before proceeding.
The big difference here is that most Europeans would never make that drive, while an American would cherish it as a holiday.
To be fair, the US has the better National Parks that one could visit along such a trip. Europe is denser.
If we’re going full coast-to-coast, US still wins
Edit: a better illustration that loses about 80 km but avoids the extra stop.
Oh, the entire continent is fair game?
Oh the entire continent is fair game
Don’t make me post a journey from County Cork to Vladivostok you daftie 😂
except that’s not the continent, that’s all within the EU, which is equivalent to the USA.
The uncomfortable truth is that the US isn’t special, and you can’t use the size of it to justify things being shit.
