oh fuck they were going to france
Just to act like Jesus and walk 1000 miles on water like never before.
We use km here!
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.
With around 10.5 Mio square Kilometer surface it is a bit larger than the USA with around 9.8 Mio square Kilometer area.
It’s weird that they wrote miles instead of kilometers
The UK uses miles. They mostly use the metric system, but there are a few cases where they use the imperial system (like distance)
And assume online that everyone else does.
Am american. do not understand. live in a state that is 1000 miles wide.
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.
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.
