This would have been so useful for Eddy

[–] Neato@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

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

[–] bela@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

He could have been sitting in the margaritaville dining car the entire ride!

[–] gruf@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

before I read the title I legitimately thought this was a reference to his video lol

[–] DesolateMood@lemm.ee 51 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ted and Eddy would have been very happy with this

[–] Roundcat@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Seriously though, did Youtube recommend us all that video?

[–] Bluefruit@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I think so and to be fair, it was a BANGER.

[–] DesolateMood@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, I watched it because I was already subbed

[–] ShranTheWaterPoloFan@startrek.website 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 5 points 1 year ago

Guarantee that every trip will have a Bullet Train scenario going on and I'm down

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

A society grows great when old men plant tree they will not sit in the shade of.

That’s how I convinced my grandpa

[–] BaronVonBort@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maaaaaaaaatttttlllloooooccccckkkk expressway

[–] db2@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Probably likely to get more riders than the Murder, She Wrote Express.

Who would ever need to travel from Seattle to LA?

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

No margaritas for you, only work.

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Gonna need some bridges anyways, if were going to connect the Caribbean locations.

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Naturally. We'd be able to defeat a lot of flying in the process. This is just becoming more based by the minute.

[–] boCash@lemmy.blugatch.tube 1 points 1 year ago

I imagine it would use piles instead of bases.

[–] Uniquitous@lemmy.one 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Rail travel is notably NOT the Parrothead preferred mode of transportation.

[–] UnverifiedAPK@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah, surprisingly a cruise ship could hit most locations with a short bus trip.

[–] Uvine_Umbra@partizle.com 7 points 1 year ago

We already have 3 of the 4 high speed margarita rails in Florida (no need for one in Key West)

[–] PapaStevesy@midwest.social 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Honestly, this is dumb enough to work...

Get drunk and physically abuse your wife in more than 10 locations!

[–] SwiggitySwole@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Where's the Syracuse Margaritaville at the Destiny USA mall?

[–] JoYo@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

this is basically a population map.

omg, it's a joke.

[–] jollyrogue@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Except Tulsa has a stop and there’s no Denver.

[–] aegis_sum@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago
[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Screw the Pacific Northwest in particular lol

[–] atocci@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

Get a Margaritaville, then we'll talk infrastructure

[–] SnowBunting@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And the mid-mid West. They apparently don't exist

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Oh I'm from Chicago, I can confirm that. There's no such thing as the mid-Midwest.

[–] Rukmer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I really think things like this could work.

[–] Steveanonymous@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Medford has a margaritaville
