Cannot believe it evolved into a meme. This must be a shitpost, right?

[–] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago

I am so proud of this community right now.

[–] Pieresqi@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Watching this evolve from the original Texas one is fun

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Was that actually the first? I remember one a few weeks ago, I think it was either Minnesota or Michigan.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The Texas one is several years old.

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

That state up north is an absolute bear to drive through though. It's 13 hours to drive from Monroe to Bessemer if you dont want to drive through Wisconsin.

[–] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 year ago

You can fly 17 hours from Earth and still be on Earth. The extraterrestrial mind cannot comprehend this.

[–] errer@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep! Just gotta drive through Syria…Lebanon…Gaza……

[–] pH3ra@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago

Still less probability to get shot than driving through Texas

[–] Bunnylux@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Y'all are ripping the us, but what we meant with that Texas meme is that's there's TOO MUCH TEXAS and we wish it were MUCH SMALLER

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

Except Turkey (and probably others) in UTC+3

[–] criitz@reddthat.com 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Who the hell is on UTC-9?

Edit: looks like its used in Alaska

[–] Seraph@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah shoulda used UTC-5 to -8.

Though dunking on Alaskans is funny!

[–] Ginger666@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

When is this shit meme gonna evolve into space?

[–] inlandempire@jlai.lu 12 points 1 year ago

You can gravitate for 65 revolutions and still remain within earth's attraction range 🤯

I meant going from galaxy to galaxy, but yeah that's a step in the right direction

[–] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago

Where we are going, there are no directions

[–] 018118055@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

Ha ha Darién Gap

[–] Napain@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

this trip goes through multiple time zones

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Get rekt USA!

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm too lazy to execute on it myself, but someone should do this joke, but with east-west travel instead of north/south, using UTC+8.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Someone should do this joke but with a pogo stick jumping in place instead of driving and a ridiculous amount of time such that they end up in the expanded sun at the end.

[–] Maeve@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

The user name and avatar in that picture...

[–] notfromhere@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Someone should do east to west and driving X hours but since crossing timezones they end the drive at the same time they started

[–] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That implies driving at the same speed as earth rotates under the sun for the given latitude.

At the Arctic Circle (~67° N), that's 654 kmph. At the equator, it's 1,674 kmph. Good luck!

That's the same thing your mom said.
