minus-squarePRUSSIA_x86@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-211 months ago two hours is waaaay out there guys! My sides are in orbit! Here is a side-by side of the Alps next to a small section of the American Rockies, which is still nothing compared to Canada (yes there are people in that big empty area). No offense, but true European rural doesn’t exist.
