minus-squareyetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 days agoLisbon to Helsinki takes 47 hours of driving btw. And you haven’t even reached far North yet, there’s still 1000+ km of Finland remaining.
minus-squareNoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 days agoYeah but nobody would even consider driving from Lisbon to Helsinki if the goal is just to get from A to B; you’d make that trip by plane.
minus-squareyetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 days agoYup, but hardly anyone in the US decides to do Atlantic to Pacific road trips either.
minus-squareTropicalDingdong@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 days agoPlenty of people in the US do this.
