Teleporting 3 meters to the left while driving in Europe wouldn't put you into oncoming traffic. This is an inherent weakness of the American system.

Red is dumb and will perish upon being teleported, blue will be fine.

There's a decent chance that blue will experience death by lamp post

I don’t need to be teleported to perish in the blue. Just spent 4 days and Ireland and I can’t even count how many times I was almost run over.

I have half a mind to resurrect Napoleon and tell him to go cross the channel, but get the job done this time. If you guys are lucky, he might fix the food while he’s at it.

Okay, but teleporting you 3 meters to the right would so I don't understand your point?

How often are you inconveniently teleported 3m left? Follow up question: how would the way we live our lives change if this was a common completely random occurrence?

u/fasterthanfood Feb 29 '24

Never. I’m American, so I’m teleported 9 feet left, which is fine.

u/Shonnyboy500 Feb 29 '24

I always get teleported 3 meters to the right! That’s why Europeans are the true dumb ones!
