Can easily do this around the Arc of Triumph

Mr bean, is that you?

[–] capuccino@lemmy.world 3 points 45 minutes ago* (last edited 42 minutes ago)

do germans move their cars like the flintstones or how do they manage to have fuel/battery for 74hrs?

[–] misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 67 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

American here, I have no problem with them. There was a roundabout nearby in my city. When they unleashed it, the first driver brave enough to traverse it swerved off the road and died on the spot. It caused such a scene that the next 3 cars watching entered the wrong way and started to pile up. More cars piled up over the coming weeks, it couldn't be taped off because the city service workers were unfortunately not Europeans and also could not traverse the labyrinth, they too piled up and died of starvation. Eventually it collapsed into a singularity under its growing weight (Americans are fat, so it was over the Chandresekar limit), cars add into the eternal swirl each day and emanate slowly as Hawking radiation. It's quite beautiful to see.

for a country who's core values is Car, they suck at driving

[–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Our core value is taking necessary services and pricing them like a luxury.

Spread everything out really far, get rid of public transit, and, since everybody still needs a license to drive your expensive cars, make the driving test super easy to pass so almost everybody can drive. Boom, 1.2 passengers per car and nobody can actually drive them well.

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 4 points 18 minutes ago

Yep. This person gets it. The auto and gasoline industry basically ruined the environment and our culture so a few select people can make a few $$$.

[–] abigscaryhobo@lemmy.world 22 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

you don't have to be smart to drive, we made sure of that.

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 hours ago

Muh freedum to die in a raging, alcohol sparked ball of fire, metal, bone, and blood.

Our core value isn't Car, it's "individual freedom, especially at the cost or inconvenience of others". It just so happens that Car aligns pretty well with that

[–] AndyMFK@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 43 minutes ago (1 children)

So interesting to me that Americans think being dependent on a car is "freedom". Individual freedom should be the freedom to get to where you need to go with viable options to walk, bike, train, bus, tram, or drive.

[–] doomcanoe@sh.itjust.works 1 points 12 minutes ago* (last edited 8 minutes ago)

We rarely have other viable options. Long before most of us were born, the U.S. built an infrastructure centered around cars, sidelining other forms of transportation.

In America, owning a car is often the key to freedom of movement. So it's no surprise people equate cars with freedom. Getting people to see how car dependency actually limits our freedom is like trying to wake someone from the Matrix.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 5 points 2 hours ago

Yeah, you can’t drive like a dangerous asshole on your way to park your full size truck based SUV across two handicap spots if you don’t have a car in the first place!

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

I've never seen this copypasta and I love it.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 3 hours ago

This was brilliant.

[–] evergreen@lemmy.world 23 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

As an American, I can ride my mobility scooter for 74 hours and still be in Walmart. Comprend that.

[–] seejur@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Do they have pit stops to recharge the batteries at Walmart? I would imagine there is also a burrito stand nearby

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 2 hours ago

They're not called burritos any more. They're called Americas.

If you imply different you'll get deported.

[–] Rookwood@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

America's been adopting roundabouts in the last decade.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 5 points 2 hours ago

Yeah, I have a few in my Pennsyltucky town and over the years people have even learned not to stop at the yield signs!

Don't even have any nice landmarks on the drive, like Big Ben.

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 1 points 19 minutes ago

I navigate by Walmarts

big ben, parliament!

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 2 hours ago

You guys are gonna love canberra

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 hours ago
  1. If you overshoot your destination, do you have to drive another 74 hours to get back to it?

  2. If you turn around (going against the circle), does it go up in time?

  3. Why did it stop at 74? Why not infinity or 99? I can plot 79 hours from Key West Florida to Anchorage Alaska

What a neat bug.

[–] Soapbox@lemmy.zip 15 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

You can fit 74 Germanys inside a Texas roundabout. The European mind cannot comprehend this.

[–] Entitle9294@lemmy.world 1 points 46 minutes ago

That says more about the fat-ass Texans than the Germans

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 2 hours ago

You can fit 74 texases inside an Australian cattle station. They're hilariously angry about it.

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 hours ago

I think those are called beltways

[–] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

American here, kills me every time it’s not that difficult!

[–] uawarebrah@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago

German who lives in USA, they have them here too. Sometimes more. The town I live in has 3 in succession

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 2 hours ago

We have one of these in rural middle of bum fucked and nowhere America.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Hey look kids! It's Big Ben!
