The Eurobean Mind Cannot Comprehend
(lemmy.world)
The crossover noone needed, but noone needed
It's weird that it's not putting you on I-44 from St Louis to OKC.
It's the "avoid tolls" part. I didn't even know you could have the primary lanes of an interstate be a toll road, but I guess so. TIL.
Also included is the NY Thruway which was a toll road that was integrated into the interstate system in several parts.
Yeah, no idea what a mi is in sensible units.
A mi is one mile in sensible units.
You don’t want to hear about how many American football fields are in a mile?

Checkmate, Americans
Is this something people actually do? I know here in the states we have the cannonball run. I doubt people actually drive the whole route very often.
It’s conceivable as an adventure trip or if a Portuguese wanted to see Northern lights. But I guess the trip NY–LA is way more common.
The States’ population centers are on the far edges of the continent. That’s not the case in Europe, where they’re more evenly distributed.

There's a blog/website about the logistics.
People have certainly done it. You can ship a vehicle around the Darien gap. Or potentially sell one car and buy another one (probably pay some customs duties).

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 😂
Not from County Cork, but from Zapolarny to Magadan: 
Please do! I must know the longest possible drive in every continent.
Vladivostok is Asia imo. East of the Urals/Turkey is Asia by most definitions.

That spans multiple continents. The pan american highway, if it weren't for a small gap in panama, would be over 20,000 km.

OP said eurobean. As far as I know, Europe is a continent. Anyway, borders are meaningless.
RIP Carl
Someone show this pale blue dot to Isreal, Palestine, Russia, and Ukraine, stat! /s
All I'm saying is, if we're comparing data we gotta at least keep the confounding variables consistent. Not that it matters, it's literally a bean meme lol.

The selected route has tolls in Kansas. The northern route will be pretty similar but free, at least until Illinois, I've never gone beyond that.
Try getting from one side of NYC to the other.
Two days is child's play.
Take the L train like everybody else.
Or the E if you’re uptown
The L train smells funny.
Move to another car?
Anyway, you get used to it. Subway smell is part of nyc life
The other car smells worse and there's a dude jerking it in the aisle.
Sounds like you got on the A train by accident, lol

It was prophesied Edit: prophecied? Prophesized??
Prophidizzle mah nizzle
The real thing that breaks the Euro mind about this is that you go all that way and cross 3 rails, all quite close together all things considered
#america
if you are on an expressway, and often roads smaller, usually grade crossings are avoided if possible. either the rail is on a bridge, and the road dips under, or the road is on a bridge and crosses the rail. it won't show as a hazard on the route in either of those cases.
It's also insanely inconsistent about showing them depending on zoom level when you look at the same route
I was just making a joke at our piss poor rail systems expense
You are still not wrong about our rail system, god forbid a passenger train hold up a freight train for one second, won't someone think of the shareholders???
It's cause on that route the rails are over/under passes
