Who knew, Texas is bigger than Luxembourg
It’s true!
This is mind blowing
Texas is less than a quarter of the size of Alaska.
Europeans thinking a 2h trip is a long ass trip. Then they come visit North America thinking they can visit from coast to coast by car in two weeks.
North Americans going to Europe thinking it’ll take 4 hours to go from one city to the next when they can actually cross three whole countries in that time frame.
The most culture shock I’ve ever experienced was being in southern France, craving some Italian, and realizing I can literally just go to Italy for dinner.
I expected Texas to be a lot bigger, given the memes.
Fun fact: the largest cattle station in Australia is 8x larger than the largest cattle station in the US (which is in Texas).
So big yet 0 culture besides guns…
and bbq and rodeo and jesus and warm smiles and cold daggers
also all the cultural influence from Mexico, but that doesn’t count I guess
I think the cultural influences from Mexico should count. As far as food goes, Mexican food is some amazing stuff, but the American variations are different, yet amazing in their own rights. Tex-Mex, New Mexican, and Cali-Mex are some of my favorite spins on traditional Mexican food. Plus I think you’re already including Mexican influences with BBQ and rodeo.
As the old saying goes, “Europeans think 100 miles is a long way, Americans think 100 years is a long time.”
Europeans don’t know what 100 miles is.
That’s a common misconception. Europeans hate standard measurements, but they aren’t dumb. They can do conversions.

We don’t have to, because we don’t live in the 3 countries that use them.
