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

[–] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 17 points 6 months ago

I am so proud of this community right now.

Watching this evolve from the original Texas one is fun

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months 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 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

The Texas one is several years old.

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 2 points 6 months 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.

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

[–] errer@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] pH3ra@lemmy.ml 16 points 6 months ago

Still less probability to get shot than driving through Texas

[–] Bunnylux@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months 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

When is this shit meme gonna evolve into space?

[–] inlandempire@jlai.lu 12 points 6 months 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 6 months ago

Where we are going, there are no directions

Who the hell is on UTC-9?

Edit: looks like its used in Alaska

[–] Seraph@kbin.social 8 points 6 months ago

Yeah shoulda used UTC-5 to -8.

Though dunking on Alaskans is funny!

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 7 points 6 months ago

Except Turkey (and probably others) in UTC+3

[–] 018118055@sopuli.xyz 5 points 6 months ago

Ha ha Darién Gap

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 3 points 6 months 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 6 months 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.

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Get rekt USA!

[–] Napain@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 months ago

this trip goes through multiple time zones

[–] notfromhere@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months 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 6 months 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.
