Shout out the 1 hour 45 minute drive from JFK to just over the bridge into Jersey
“Would you like to try this alternate route that saves you negative 13 minutes and negative $5.44?”
Fly into Newark. Nobody in nj uses JFK or laguardia.
In OP’s image they “land” in NYC and drive to Miami. You have to drive the route I posted to leave NYC.
Lmao cycling is faster according to Google
There’s a reason why New Yorkers are much fitter than the average American lol.
Coming into the city through the tunnel was wild. Huge contrast in the amount of traffic.
Holy crap, just shoot me out a cannon, I’ll get there sooner or die, either is preferable
😂😂😂 They’re in for a surprise. I can drive 2 hours and still be in my state.
That’s not really impressive. I can drive 5 hours and still be in the same state. In Germany.
I can drive 7 hours and still be on the same roundabout.
I can drive for two hours and still be in the same roundabout.

I’m actually curious. Putting aside alaska, is there any competition for longest highway in a state? I could imagine florida and california both having roads that could rival texas’ longest. Maybe if it’s a really windy one in montana or wisconsin.

Dam, if I drive an hour the right direction in in Sweden
Same here, but that’s where I started.
I had a car like that once.
I can drive 2h and be in jail (I don’t have my driver’s license).
I’d guess you could find a 2 hour straight line in any state without crossing a border, except maybe Rhode Island.
Looks like Delaware might just work as well, and Connecticut if it actually had a major roadway on the diagonal from the SW to NE might as well, but the routing Google is giving me goes just over 2h
I can drive two hours and still be in my county! (It’s stupid).
We have like 120 counties. Dunno why.
I can drive 2 hours in still be in Austin.
could that really be called driving?

upvote for Gulf of Mexico
Ahem, it’s the Gulf of America. Please get your facts right
Only if marlago is designated americas rectum.
Urectum
Damn near killed em.
Palm Beach is full of [rich] assholes so I would say this tracks.
Silly! The game you play when the facts keep changing and the rules don’t matter
<blockquote>🎵 Nobody call it Gulf of America, but rules don’t matter, no 🎵</blockquote> <p>Bakon</p>
why is this being downvoted, have y’all never heard of sarcasm?
Sorry, I should have tagged it properly.
Warning! Sarcasm ahead.
<sarcasm>Ahem, it’s the Gulf of America. Please get your facts right</sarcasm>
Edit: Jerboa eating me tags. Let us try it this way:

There is absolutely no way to determine if somebody is being facetious or serious over the Internet without further context. (Use a damn /s ffs)
Who could be serious saying that ??? (I don’t think Donald is posting here onlemmy)
It’s a lazy joke that the other person already made better.
The sarcasm/joke is obvious, it just wasn’t funny.
Let’s call it the gulf of middle earth
Nope, it’s the Gulf of America. He said so. Now quit your anti-US retorics lest you be deported.
Or just save being put in an ICE facility and go visit Canada and not be put in an ICE facility.
Edit typo
Multiply those time estimates by about 20.
Vegas sucks though.
My brother went to college in upstate NY in the 80’s and made friends with a girl who was born & raised in Manhattan. One weekend, in all seriousness, she suggested taking the subway to the Grand Canyon.
in the 80’s what?
80’s
'80s
8’0s
I bet I know who she voted for
In America, 100 years is a long time
In Europe, 100 miles is a long distanceTf is a mile, bruv? Don’t come in 'ere with these nonsensical made up freedom units
Miles originated in Britain, so talk to them about their made-up nonsense.
At least they were eventually willing to give up the imperial system. I still don’t understand why Americans never got on board with metric; it’s so much easier.
Just watched a video which explains a few things.
Time zones start in UK because of some decent reasoning. France was also a contender for where timezones start for the same kinds of reasoning but conceded it in agreement that UK adopts the new metric system they created
Yeah, 'Muricans be like “B-but… the Brits…”
Like, yeah. They moved on. They evolved, changed their ways. USians hanging on to legacy units
If I remember my conversions right then a mile is 5280 kilometers. I hope that helps explain why Europeans would fear such a distance!
Tf. Why would anyone have a unit for that
“A benpu is 327 meters!”
…wait a minute… am I being made a fool of? Can’t tell, cuz I don’t comprehend dumb units. I’d legit buy that as a real thing, given how stupid those tend to be
A US customary mile is 5280 US customary feet. 1 US customary foot is 12 US customary inches. 1 US customary inch is 25.4mm. So a US customary mile is 1609344mm, exactly. It derives from the roman “mille passus”, literally 1000 paces, where a pace is the distance between two impacts of the left (or right) foot of a Roman soldier on the march. Quite a few other cultures used a “mile” of some sort even after the fall of Rome, for example the old British imperial mile was 1760 British imperial yards, one British imperial yard predated the definition of the meter but was most precisely measured to be 0.914398415m, so the British imperial mile was 1609341.21mm. Other culture’s miles varied even more than this.
Don’t do it, America sucks right now.
Whilst in all about road trips this fool better be driving at 1500mph to make these times
What, your car doesn’t do mach 3?
Have you heard of autobahn?
/j
Mach 2 is very reasonable. Gillette makes a Mach 3.
And here in the comments you will read once again the problem of USA about railways. Take some popcorn.
Sensible Americans (a vanishing breed, but still) agree that high speed rail is both doable and practical across the US.
lol the problem with America is fascism
Still USA citizens won’t and can’t do anything, because they never do.
I’m so sad about the state of the world. At this point I’m resigned to enjoy as much of it as I can while making as little impact as possible then noping out and letting morons continue with their bullshit charade as the planet burns around them
Which funny enough is part of the reason they don’t have trains. Some dickhead fascist billionaire charmed the simple brained with magic transportation, so they wouldn’t invest in high speed rail anymore. Go figure
Ah, a meme from a simpler time. Now the first thing I think of is how long the stay in Guantanamo Bay will be.
If they make it all the way noon, I’d be surprised. Make a stop in Alligator Auschwitz.
You really can’t experience everything if has to offer in just one day. I wish tourists could better understand.
Had a friend from SE Asia that wanted to visit me in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She found a flight to Canada alright. To VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA. She asked if I could come pick her up if I wasn’t too busy.
Lol.
Sure, I’ll be there in 3 days, you’ll probably want to get some food while you wait.
3? I had a few crewmates cross the country in about 5 and they said that was a gruelling task that they should have slowed down for.
If you go through the US, Google Maps tells me about 56 hours, or 18-19 hours/day if you’re doing it in 3. If you go through Canada only, add about 3 hours. I think Google Maps estimates are a bit generous on time esp. if you’re comfortable exceeding the speed limit a bit, so maybe you could do it in 50 hours.
It’s doable in 3, but it wouldn’t be fun at all. I’ve done 14+ hours driving in a day (so 4 days?), and it sucks, so yeah, 5 might be a bit too much as well.
The most I’ve done continuously is 12. No stops but for gas, visiting my GF at college decades ago.
I’ve done 18 with the kids in the car. We made it to Disney at sun up and I lost the first day being to tired to go to the damn park. The kids slept overnight, but my wife and I were cooked.
I’ve done 14 fairly often but doing that every day would suck. I’m usually fine the next day (I do all the driving because I’d otherwise get carsick), but I don’t think I’d be fine for 3 days.
A family member went ottawa-vancouver in 54 hours of driving - and this was using i-90 in America. The time estimates can be a bit off.
I’m guessing it doesn’t count time at the border crossing or breaks, and assumes continuous driving.
The driver will need a nap at the end. I think it can be 72 hours if one doesn’t sleep.
According to Google Maps, it’s about 56 hours. Can’t quite squeeze it into two days, but you could get close. If you’re able to sustain 50% over the speed limit, you could maybe do it in 48 hours, with fuel refills.
You will need a cannonball run setup. But it’s been done outrageously faster than you would think.
