The US is pretty big man and things are different in different regions. England is only as big as Alabama.

In the cities you can walk to places or take much more limited public transportation.

Every one outside of the city has a car though. Drive through banks, fast food, pharmacies, and even liquor stores are a real thing.

My commute to work is ~40 minute drive and some of that is at 129 kph.

I rarely walk anywhere for anything besides pleasure. There is a restaurant within ~10 minutes walk but most roads don’t even have sidewalks here and people don’t always pay attention while driving

Hmm

Hmm

Isn’t this what HP Lovecraft wrote about?

He’s referring to the top panel. It’s still a decent meme, but I do appreciate the education.
