It's true!
-
This is mind blowing
-
Big if true
-
It's all Texases, all the way down.

Who knew, Texas is bigger than Luxembourg
-
Which is crazy since Luxemburg has its own language while Texas is speaking the same as Ireland which is already bigger than Luxemburg
-
Crazy how nature do that

Europeans thinking a 2h trip is a long ass trip. Then they come visit North America thinking they can visit from coast to coast by car in two weeks.
North Americans going to Europe thinking it'll take 4 hours to go from one city to the next when they can actually cross three whole countries in that time frame.
-
The most culture shock I've ever experienced was being in southern France, craving some Italian, and realizing I can literally just go to Italy for dinner.
-
Hahahahaha right??? Ain't that crazy?
Edit:
Same happened to me. Was in South West of France. Saw a board on the highway that said Barcelona was 3h away. Like what????
So we went to Barcelona for a weekend because why the fuck not.

-
2h is a long ass trip we've just been gaslit
-
If only we had a high speed rail system like in Japan...
-
-
Am European. I drove from sfo to nyc in 4.5 days. Would I do that again? No.
-
Same, took 5. Still brutal as hell
-
-
No we don't think 2 hours is a long ass trip. We think 2 hours is a long ass commute.

Honestly I blame American TV for this. Especially anything involving the FBI! In Hannibal they zip between states non stop like it's nothing. I assume it's all supposed to be happening over many days, but it just seems like they're going to and from work in Minnesota and home in Virginia lol

"Hey, has that state no one cares about seen this joke?"
"I don't know, I'll ask 'er.
-
Dont mess with lexas.

What would happen if you divide Alaska in two equally-sized states? Texas becomes the third largest state.
-
-
"Texas needs to shut up before we split in half and make Texas the 3rd biggest state"
- Alaska probably
-
"That's an impressively well-typed threat for a moose."
- Texas probably
-
"Come up here and fight us then, we've seen how you handle snow."
- Alaska probably
-
Alaska could be split into four equal states & Texas would be the fifth biggest.
-
-
even Russia is smoll compared to Africa
-
The Mercator scale on maps makes everything equatorial look tiny compared to northern and southern latitudes.

As the old saying goes, "Europeans think 100 miles is a long way, Americans think 100 years is a long time."
-
Europeans don't know what 100 miles is.
-
It's nice to have some quick mental conversions ready.
1 mile is roughly 1.6 km, so 100 miles is roughly 160 km
3 feet is roughly a meter
2 pounds are roughly 1 kg
1 gallon is roughly 4 liters
32 fahrenheit it 0 celcius, 100 fahrenheit is slightly over body temperature, 200 fahrenheit is almost enough to boil water... Any other value requires math to figure out...

And dogs don't know how long a human year is in dog years

So you’re saying they should secede from the Union and be an independent world superpower because they don’t need the rest of us, right? Right?
-
No, that's ludicrous.
Give them back to Mexico.
-
They’re welcome to attempt again. Though we were a bit too gentle last time

I grew up in Texas and moved to England. I remember my first weekend there looking at a map thinking of going to visit Cambridge. It was a couple of inches away on the map and I thought, should be an hour maybe an hour and half drive. Imagine my surprise when I arrived in Cambridge in 20 minutes. I forgot to take into consideration scale.
Yes it was a paper map, I know I'm old.

"that's not where paris is."
-any texan.
-
I realize it's all for jokes but I think neither the image nor comments images are adjusting for actual area, since on a projected map there will be warping outwards of center.
-
So big yet 0 culture besides guns...
-
and bbq and rodeo and jesus and warm smiles and cold daggers
also all the cultural influence from Mexico, but that doesn't count I guess
-
I think the cultural influences from Mexico should count. As far as food goes, Mexican food is some amazing stuff, but the American variations are different, yet amazing in their own rights. Tex-Mex, New Mexican, and Cali-Mex are some of my favorite spins on traditional Mexican food. Plus I think you're already including Mexican influences with BBQ and rodeo.
-
And slabs!
-
-
Tons of culture, it's just all living deep underground near the earths core, where it's still warm.
-
One of my favourite webcomic artists/vtubers is from Texas!
-
-
That’s not where Paris, TX is….
-
This is just a piece of the land we stole from a country that spain stole once
-
Overcompensate much?
-
I expected Texas to be a lot bigger, given the memes.
Fun fact: the largest cattle station in Australia is 8x larger than the largest cattle station in the US (which is in Texas).
-
Now do Indonesia.
-
Texas is less than a quarter of the size of Alaska.
-
yeah thats totally correct, love that
