If you drive the border of Texas it is a trip more than 40 hours long. Two straight days of non-stop driving. The US is stupid big and has an insane amount of roadways, you could drive your whole life and have roads you have never been on.

This meme is a joke. Of course the Netherlands is absolutely tiny, of course you can drive further in pretty much every US state.
