This would have been so useful for Eddy

This was the video that led me to Eddy Burback. He's an excellent youtuber.

before I read the title I legitimately thought this was a reference to his video lol
bela@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 2y
He could have been sitting in the margaritaville dining car the entire ride!

Ted and Eddy would have been very happy with this
Roundcat@kbin.social · 10 pts · 2y
Seriously though, did Youtube recommend us all that video?
Bluefruit@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
I think so and to be fair, it was a BANGER.
DesolateMood@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y
I mean, I watched it because I was already subbed
CADmonkey@lemmy.world · 21 pts · 2y
If you could get the over 65 set to realize the rail lines will help them get somewhere when their kid is at work, they might go for it.
But I'm not sure.

I wish we could normalize it everywhere. I think most people would like trains, but only if they didn't have to also drive and park at a station, which is how so much of the country is set up now.

Guarantee that every trip will have a Bullet Train scenario going on and I'm down
Crashumbc@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
The main issue isn't even driving to the station.
It's when you get off at the end and everywhere you want to go needs a car to get there...

Yeah but hilariously they'll all be dead before it's finished.

Do you think they dyed all their margaritas black in mourning?

Oh god, I don't think I could drink that.

Fuck the West, I guess.

Who would ever need to travel from Seattle to LA?

No margaritas for you, only work.

Maaaaaaaaatttttlllloooooccccckkkk expressway
db2@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 2y
Probably likely to get more riders than the Murder, She Wrote Express.
GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml · 11 pts · 2y
It's closed to being truly based. You just need to add the Mexican coast express down to the one in the Cancún Airport, and then you're gold.
Alternatively, you could build the sickest bridge known to man, but Cuba might take offense to that. Who knows.
Matthew@programming.dev · 3 pts · 2y
Gonna need some bridges anyways, if were going to connect the Caribbean locations.
GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml · 0 pts · 2y
Naturally. We'd be able to defeat a lot of flying in the process. This is just becoming more based by the minute.

I imagine it would use piles instead of bases.

Get a Margaritaville, then we'll talk infrastructure
SnowBunting@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 2y
And the mid-mid West. They apparently don't exist
Etterra@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
Oh I'm from Chicago, I can confirm that. There's no such thing as the mid-Midwest.
Uvine_Umbra@partizle.com · 7 pts · 2y
We already have 3 of the 4 high speed margarita rails in Florida (no need for one in Key West)
Uniquitous@lemmy.one · 6 pts · 2y
Rail travel is notably NOT the Parrothead preferred mode of transportation.
UnverifiedAPK@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 2y
Yeah, surprisingly a cruise ship could hit most locations with a short bus trip.

No stop in Branson? They'll never go for it.

Where's the Syracuse Margaritaville at the Destiny USA mall?
son_named_bort@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
That seems like such a weird place for a Margaritaville.
WarmSoda@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y
That mall is a weird place for anything lol

Medford has a margaritaville
