Most likely functionally illiterate and not 100% "I can't read," but I've overestimated instagrammers before
I met a guy like that in the 90's except he was on a lot of LSD and was making his way around the world. IDK if that was true but my buddy picked him up one night and we had a party with him and he cut his dreads off and burned them so a witch wouldn't get them. Good times!
Micro cosmology is a problem a majority of Americans live with. If they can't see it from their front porch it don't exist. That played a major factor in the current shitshow preloading in d.c.
Preloading
Lol
Here's another one for you: 'played a major factor in'. Not strictly correct grammatically. A better phrase would've been, "played a major role in".
If one prefers to keep "factor" instead of 'played", than there is always the option, "was a major factor'
Can confirm I live in ZA WARUDO!
That voter is gonna learn some stuff.
I was not surprised by the presence of a giant cross necklace.
One change of clothes for a 2-week trip... now that's a man's man!
I mean it's not extremely far off compared to Ultralight hiking, you can still be hygienic (like often washing clothes), of course though you're not winning parfume contests along the way... It's a tradeoff to make compared to having a lot of uncomfortable weight to carry around.
Does he carry a Texas sized bottle of French cologne?
I don't want to be his room mate.
French cologne, my ass! He wears WAAAAAAY to much Axe Body Spray like a patriotic American bro who doesn't understand geography should.
Axe Body Spray. Guaranteed.
I mean, also because he's apparently not aware of the largest mountain range in North America.
Lol, what a country
How does he use IG?
Assuming its not a parody.
You'd be surprised how functional the illiterate can be.
Yeah, just look at Trump. Functional illiteracy is a real thing in the US.
All 7 words he knows? It's called THE WEAVE!....or something.
When I first moved to Japan, I had to use lots of websites that used untranslatable images (not text, like png or whatever and google lens was not a thing). I got help a few times and memorized what clicking on an area did more than even what the image was (which would change sometimes). This is how I got by with ATMs and various websites for quite a while. It works until something changes. Today, screen readers, google lens, and other things exist to help as well.

Apparently, Chad Caruso set the Guinness world record as the first person to skateboard across America in 2023, from Venice Beach to Virginia Beach. It took him 57 days to cover 3,162 miles, adventure adventure of 55 miles a day.
adventure adventure!
I don't think he knows about second adventure.
The best kind of adventure

Rob Thomson skated across the US starting in 2006. Also from Switzerland to China.
I have a photo from that trip handing up poster size in my house. A random waterfall panorama.
how did he skate up and over the Rockies?
He kick flipped real hard
He kicked the mountains and then flipped them off, they felt so disrespected they moved north and waited until he had passed them.
Orogeny gonna get ya
Two weeks, huh? The US is around 3,000 miles from coast to coast, so that puts him over 200 miles skateboarding every single day... I'm not sure, but the person who didn't know mountains exist might be dumb.
200miles/8hours of skating straight means an average speed of 25 miles an hour.
Ambitious, considering the average speed of a skateboarder is closer to 10 miles an hour, but it could be possible if he was extremely fit, had unbreakable bones, and the US was a flat plane for 3000 miles like this guy thought.
Just go faster. I don't get it.
Paint the skateboard red if you have to.
Add a lightning bolt. Kachow!
