😂😂😂 They're in for a surprise. I can drive 2 hours and still be in my state.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

I can drive 7 hours and still be on the same roundabout.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 9 points 3 days ago

I can drive for two hours and still be in the same roundabout.

I can drive 2 hours in still be in Austin.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 days ago

could that really be called driving?

[–] brotundspiele@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

That's not really impressive. I can drive 5 hours and still be in the same state. In Germany.

[–] summerdeer@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 days ago

I can drive 2h and be in jail (I don't have my driver's license).

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

I had a car like that once.

I can drive 8 hours and still be in my shithole state and it's not even Texas.

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] FuckFascism@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No clue but the longest road in the US is 3,365 miles long 5,415 in kilometers.

[–] brotundspiele@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Not to brag, but the longest Road in Europe is 8641km (5369 miles) long. Though to be fair, it's only partially in Europe, the last 4000 (±1000 as there's no clear border between Europe and Asia) kilometers are in Asia. The longest road that is completely in Europe is only 5190 km (3225 miles) long.

I can drive two hours and still be in my county! (It’s stupid).

[–] Geodad@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

We have like 120 counties. Dunno why.

[–] alci@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

More like 190 or so.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'd guess you could find a 2 hour straight line in any state without crossing a border, except maybe Rhode Island.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Looks like Delaware might just qualify 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

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Dam, if I drive an hour the right direction in in Sweden

[–] OhShitSon@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago

Same here, but that's where I started.
