It’s weird that they wrote miles instead of kilometers

Animated_beans,

The UK uses miles. They mostly use the metric system, but there are a few cases where they use the imperial system (like distance)

MonkderZweite,

And assume online that everyone else does.

Man Europe is hilariously small! Don’t get me wrong, it’d love to abandon the US and live there. It’s just mind blowing the perspective this map gives.

Cthulhu1,

With around 10.5 Mio square Kilometer surface it is a bit larger than the USA with around 9.8 Mio square Kilometer area.

Dim0N,

Europe is bigger than the US though.

Europe: 3,930,000 sq mi

The US: 3,794,100 sq mi

docmark,

You’re comparing continents and countries.

North America is over twice as large. So yes, from anyone on this side of the pond it’s tiny.

North of Avenel. Power failure. Sat around for an hour without AC. Eventually a rescue train came.

How’s this any different from that mattress, in a field, I drive past every day on the way to work? A bit cleaner, and sheets?

Agent641,

This bed has seen fewer homeless gay orgies. Not none, but fewer.

Am american. do not understand. live in a state that is 1000 miles wide.

bigfish,

A 1000 mile radius does cover a chunk of the US. Centered on Denver it covers basically everything west of Michigan (excl Alaska and Hawaii of course).

The size difference is getting to me too lol

I used to drive a 200 mile round trip weekly to visit home while I was in college.

Houston to East Texas is a fun drive.

teydam,

I had a german professor once remark to me about how different Americans are, like hundreds of miles is a day trip, hundreds of miles is a week long trip by car. Bet the trains are awesome though. Amtrak long distances seems way too expensive relative to my other options when factoring in time.

This map made me realize how small Great Britain really is. I drive 550 miles to visit my mom in the US, Great Britain is only 600 miles long from north to south.

Jarmer, in And I will walk 500 miles and I will walk 500 more.

So basically they just really wanted to go to Iceland. Cool!

Is this a nuclear blast radius map?

dylanmorgan, in And I will walk 500 miles and I will walk 500 more.

TIL the proclaimers were both jesus somehow.

jalda, in And I will walk 500 miles and I will walk 500 more.

They never said that they were walking on a straight line

Poiar,

This just in!

The Proclaimers are actually Jesuses with their amazing ability to walk on water

MrBakedBeansOnToast,

Also thought, I wanna see someone cross Switzerland in a laterally straight line

moup, in And I will walk 500 miles and I will walk 500 more.

It should be called “a thousand stars” hotel not “Zero stars”

yads, in The Null Stern Hotel located in the Swiss Alps

This seems like an art installation. Can’t book this “hotel”

Pechente,

According to the website that OP linked there’s a waitlist. It looks like it’s also in different locations every time.

yads,

Interesting, one of the promotional pics is in front of a gas station. Don’t you want to sleep right next to a gas station?

Agent641,

Some nights I do, and for free!

DarkDecay, in This poison ivy along my street

Some how it seems more ‘oddly terrifying’ than ‘mildy interesting’ to me lol
