      First time visiting, i arrived in Sāo Paulo in a Bus, when i saw the sign "Welcome to Sāo Paulo i stood up and started to get my things… When we got to the São Paulo Bus Station, 5 hours later, i understood why the other passengers were very amused by my behavior.

        I know so many people who choose to drive. It blows my mind. Like, yeah, the subways can be frustrating, but nowhere near as frustrating as driving in the city.

        Bikes are the best way to get around the city.

        Some of us have no choice. I drive for work sometimes and jesus it’s so frustrating. Can turn a 12hr work day into a 16hr one.

      If you sit in the car and make engine noises for 13 hours you’d still be in my driveway! The adult mind cannot comprehend this.

        I can drive for like 2 minutes in my mind and still be in my mind. Beyond that I’m more limited by my attention span than the amount of space I can imagine.

    You can walk 13 hours towards Mordor and still not be in Mordor. One does not simply walk into Mordor.

      It’s funny how Google Maps has a reference to this if you tell it to give you walking directions to “Mordor”.

      Although I don’t think it works with every starting location.

      As someone from neither place - I’m guessing it didn’t strike a nerve, so much as it struck a funny bone.

      There’s just something ludicrous about the phrasing.

      Dunno, but 13 hours is not that much really. I can drive for more than 13 hours straight, in Italy, without going in circles, staying on the highway, traveling between two region capitals and not counting the islands. And it’s Italy, not exactly the biggest country in the world. Or even in Europe.

      PS: in August that’s 24hrs

      It is more like a ridiculous argument that we are now ridiculing.

      Show me one person who brags about driving in a single location for so many hours, outside of the memes.

        It didn’t really seem like an argument to me… more like a joke that some people took way too seriously.

          Normally the good jokes are also somewhat smart, even though they are not “serious”. A joke about Texas being big is not very smart, IMHO. Is also not very original, as it’s not the first one I’ve seen in this vein. And above all, it’s specially stupid to end it with a remark about “The European mind cannot comprehend this”, because Europeans know a lot more about the US than the US people know about Europe.

          IOW, it’s not that it’s struck a nerve, it’s that it was legit bad.

          PS: Oh, and, the fact that it appeals to Europeans, it seems like it appeals on Europe as a whole, which makes it doubly stupid, because then individual members of the EU/continent are like USA states, and then each member/state has routes as long as the one in the original meme.

            I never said it was a good joke… smh. Looks like its easy to trigger the Europeans nowadays. I’m assuming you’re European; could be wrong here. Please correct me if so.

            Yeah this is literally Europeans clowning on the dumb “joke” with our own version of the dumb joke.
