Midwesterners looking for something interesting to do on the weekend

This is meaningless if it drives back on the same roads. "You can drive for 30 hours on a roundabout in Blackburn, Lancashire without ever leaving the roundabout in Blackburn, Lancashire"

I can drive around my block for 30 hours and still be on my block! It's crazy!

It takes 23 hours and 2000 km to drive from the southernmost point in sweden to Abisko in the north.

A full loop through Malmö-Kalmar-Stockholm-Luleå-Abisko-Östersund-Göteborg-Malmö takes over 2 days and over 4000 km.

Europe is not small.

I don't really think this counts, since he doubles back around at a point, I mean, if you're allowed to do that, you can drive for 30 hours almost anywhere, and still be in the same area.

81

You can do this in WA, but without looping back

67

Dude, you can drive 30 hours in London and still be in London.

65

I can drive in my neighbourhood for 40 hours and still be in my neighbourhood. The street forms a loop.

58

Driving around Germany is probanly a similar distance, it just doesn't take as long.

53

It doesn't blow our mind at all. We couldn't give a fuck. Its a pointless statement.

48

I live in a 274 year old building with original stained glass windows. The US mind cannot comprehend this.

48

This MF gonna lose their mind when they find out about roundabouts!

41

If you just drive back and forth and in circles you can do this in Luxembourg, too, I ain't impressed

36

It's true. As a European I had no idea where Michigan was.

31

I can also drive 30 h around in my driveway.

27

You could drive in a "straight line" across Ukraine for 23 hours...

26

Sure, but in Europe you can drive for 30 hours passing from a metropolitan area to another. You probably don't know what I mean but the population of london is slightly less than the entire population of michigan. Italy alone has a population that is one fifth of the ENTIRE US.

Who the fuck drives Michigan but skips the Leelanau Peninsula and the coastal stretch between it and the Mackinac? See also: Who the fuck drives the entirety of the Lake Huron coastline but skips the majority of Lake Michigan's?

18

I can go around in circles and never leave my home.

16

Actually, they were trying to drive across their suburban neighbourhood, but the way streets are built it takes 30 hours to go around it 🤡

15

1400 miles is roughly the Autobahn in northrhine Westphalia I Guess you could drive aimlessly around those if that's your thing

14

In California, depending on traffic, it can take 2 hours to move 20 feet. Anyone out East ever just feel like you'd reach your destination faster by just getting out and walking?

12

You can drive 30 years in Muhosransk and still be in Muhosransk

10

You can drive your whole life in Singapore and you'll still be in Singapore.

Midwesterners obviously haven't visited London's M25.

7

Who in their right mind goes to Mackinaw twice?

7

On a bicycle? Easy.

7

France is over twice the size of Michigan and driving around it (hugging the borders) would take a lot longer than 30 hours.

7

That's cheating and some European countries are much bigger than Michigan. Here's with two points only:

35h in Quebec, not counting the time you'll spend changing your wheels every now and then in the northern part (can't patch a tire sliced by sharp rocks)
