This would have been so useful for Eddy

[–] Neato@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago

This was the video that led me to Eddy Burback. He's an excellent youtuber.

He could have been sitting in the margaritaville dining car the entire ride!

[–] gruf@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

before I read the title I legitimately thought this was a reference to his video lol

[–] DesolateMood@lemm.ee 51 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ted and Eddy would have been very happy with this

[–] Roundcat@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Seriously though, did Youtube recommend us all that video?

[–] Bluefruit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I think so and to be fair, it was a BANGER.

[–] DesolateMood@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I mean, I watched it because I was already subbed

[–] ShranTheWaterPoloFan@startrek.website 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do you think they dyed all their margaritas black in mourning?

Oh god, I don't think I could drink that.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (3 children)

If you could get the over 65 set to realize the rail lines will help them get somewhere when their kid is at work, they might go for it.

But I'm not sure.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I wish we could normalize it everywhere. I think most people would like trains, but only if they didn't have to also drive and park at a station, which is how so much of the country is set up now.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 5 points 2 years ago

Guarantee that every trip will have a Bullet Train scenario going on and I'm down

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Yeah but hilariously they'll all be dead before it's finished.

[–] TheTurducken@mander.xyz 13 points 2 years ago

A society grows great when old men plant tree they will not sit in the shade of.

That’s how I convinced my grandpa

[–] atlasraven31@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago

Who would ever need to travel from Seattle to LA?

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

No margaritas for you, only work.

[–] BaronVonBort@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maaaaaaaaatttttlllloooooccccckkkk expressway

[–] db2@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Probably likely to get more riders than the Murder, She Wrote Express.

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's closed to being truly based. You just need to add the Mexican coast express down to the one in the Cancún Airport, and then you're gold.

Alternatively, you could build the sickest bridge known to man, but Cuba might take offense to that. Who knows.

[–] Matthew@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Gonna need some bridges anyways, if were going to connect the Caribbean locations.

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Naturally. We'd be able to defeat a lot of flying in the process. This is just becoming more based by the minute.

[–] boCash@lemmy.blugatch.tube 1 points 2 years ago

I imagine it would use piles instead of bases.

[–] Uvine_Umbra@partizle.com 7 points 2 years ago

We already have 3 of the 4 high speed margarita rails in Florida (no need for one in Key West)

[–] Uniquitous@lemmy.one 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Rail travel is notably NOT the Parrothead preferred mode of transportation.

[–] UnverifiedAPK@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Yeah, surprisingly a cruise ship could hit most locations with a short bus trip.

[–] PapaStevesy@midwest.social 6 points 2 years ago

No stop in Branson? They'll never go for it.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Get drunk and physically abuse your wife in more than 10 locations!

[–] SwiggitySwole@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Where's the Syracuse Margaritaville at the Destiny USA mall?

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Honestly, this is dumb enough to work...

[–] JoYo@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

this is basically a population map.

omg, it's a joke.

[–] jollyrogue@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Except Tulsa has a stop and there’s no Denver.

[–] aegis_sum@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago
[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Screw the Pacific Northwest in particular lol

[–] atocci@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

Get a Margaritaville, then we'll talk infrastructure

[–] SnowBunting@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And the mid-mid West. They apparently don't exist

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Oh I'm from Chicago, I can confirm that. There's no such thing as the mid-Midwest.

[–] Rukmer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I really think things like this could work.

[–] Steveanonymous@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Medford has a margaritaville
