[@yutasteyennie]

There’s speed limits here? News to me 😂

[@vincentfalcone9218]

The weird thing about America is you can drive on the Interstates through multiple states and see basically nothing. Other than the Northeast corridor our major cities are very spread out and the Interstates often don't go directly through them. I recently drove from Western NC to NYC and somehow managed to not pass through a single significant city on the way there. Just miles of nothing.

[@Deminese2]

I wouldn't call it nothing. Interstates just dont go through the direct middle of shitloads of towns and cities with populations of 15-100k+. Nobody would want that.

[@baileyf1998]

Alot of interstates take you through cities, though typically driving through a city isn't the fastest route since you will typically run into traffic and slower speed limits. But there are alot of highways that will take you through the cities. I5 for example will take you from Vancouver BC to Tijuana, MX going through Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego on the way.

[@connerstines1578]

You think we're spread out? Canada is that times 1000.

​@rexlupis no you didn't. Nik isn't real. He is a collective hallucination that youtube made because Canada has no people just giant raccoons. moose, and Tim Hortons. That's why counterparts lyrics are so depressing, as the song so nearly sang, "you'd also cry man if you were Canadian"

It was pitch black going through New Mexico into Colorado. I didn't even seem like I was surrounded by cities or nature. Just highway. On the way back through there during the daytime was insane. I could see all kinds of mountains and nature. I was amazed that I was in the same place.
