In the US, there's a good chance you haven't even left your state either (startrek.website)

Slow your roll 'muricans. I got off a plane in Massachusetts and now I have to order my breakfast sandwich on whatever the fuck a bulkie is instead.

If I drive for 4 hours, I'd end up in the ocean.

When I tell American that it takes 6 hours of highway driving to leave my state they are flabbergasted. after 4 hours they might be in the same part of the country but they have probably crossed a few state lines.

I live in Alabama, and it takes a little over 6 hours of interstate travel at roughly 70mph to get to Florida, 5.5 hours if you just don’t stop at all. I can hit Georgia in about 2.5 hours. There is no reason to go to Mississippi, so I don’t know. And I think it’s about like 4.5 hours to Tennessee, but once again not many reasons to go there so I’m not sure.

EhehehahahahhAhahaAHAHAHAHAH!

TRY 12 HOURS NON-STOP MOTHERFUCKER. IT TAKES 12 HOURS TO GET FROM ONE SIDE OF MY STATE TO THE NEXT AT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 75MPH/120KM/H TO 90MPH/144KM/H

No, seriously, it's literally over 1,300km (approx 800mi) between Texarkana and El Paso (I believe that's the straight-line distance; it honestly takes longer than 10-ish hours to get from one side to the other without stopping for food, gas or bathrooms). You were probably talking to people from the tiny far-northern states.

I'm guessing Australia?

Really depends on where you are in the US. Northeast, yeah, the states there are relatively small. It takes 3.5 hours on an interstate highway to cross Ohio, a "middle-sized" state. Switch to state roads, and that time frame goes up dramatically.
