I’ve heard the legends of having to drive to literally everywhere (e.g. drive thru banks), but I have no clue how far apart things are.
I live in suburban London where you can get to a big supermarket in 10 minutes of walking, a train station in 20 minutes and convenience stores are everywhere. You can get anywhere with bus and train in a few hours.
Can someone help a clueless British lemmyposter know how far things are in the US?
EDIT
Here are my walking distances:
- To the nearest convenience store: 250m
- To the nearest chain supermarket: 350m
- To the bus stop: 310m
- To the nearest park: 400m
- To the nearest big supermarket: 1.3km
- To the nearest library: 1.2km
- To the nearest train station: 1km
Straight-line distance to Big Ben: 16km
1 m is approximately 3 ft
3.3ft (and that’s a decimal .3, not an imperial .3).
I figured the 😂 emoji would convey me being silly 🤷♂️
I laughed but I also figured some people probably don’t know the general conversion is that easy. I’m not sure who’s so salty they down voted you.
I’m pretty sure a meter is a few inches longer than a yard
So like half a banana
Sorry I can only count in full bananas. Reddit really got my brain.
