Let’s talk about those “European mind can’t comprehend” and “American mind can’t comprehend” tweets we’ve been posting for literal years now.
They’re about the size of our sodas.
They’re about our wild temperature changes.
And there’s a ton about our beloved PB&J sandwiches <3<3
Welllllll, a new one kind of spiraled out of control.
It all started with @EdisonCarterN23 posting a picture of a tiny Fiat with the caption: “The American mind can’t comprehend that 80% of car trips could be taken in a car like this.”
Then @FetusberryJam clapped back with: “the european mind cannot comprehend driving four hours and still being in the same state.”
That’s when people from around the world got involved.
This Canadian posted that you can drive for 23 hours in the province of Ontario:
This Australian pointed out that you can drive for 29 hours without leaving the same state:
This person pointed out you can drive for days and still be in Norway:
Another person said you drive for 16 hours in Finland:
We have New Zealand clocking in at just over a day:
2 hours to cross continets from Europe to Africa:
It’s almost 8 hours for Portugal:
And here’s one of the Roman Empire:
Then, there are the jokes:
“You can fly 16.5hrs in France and still be in France. The American mind cannot comprehend this,” one person said.
“Dude, you can drive 4 hours and still be stuck in London,” another person said.
And we have: “You can drive for 5 years in Scotland and still hit the same potholes.”
Lastly, it wouldn’t be one of these posts without a bit of light American shade: “The American mind cannot comprehend not needing a car to do literally fucking anything.”
“American mind cannot comprehend fuel efficiency, safety, and making their cars not the size of a small house,” another person chimed in.
And laaastly: “‘The european mind cannot comprehend-‘ i don’t want to. i never want to comprehend anything american. thank god i was born in europe.”
