Switzerland. Having grown up in the coastal plains, I just have this fascination with mountains. I don’t t have the physical condition to climb one, but just seeing them up close already makes me feel things. Being on top of one, even more so.
Maybe I can do even better and do a train journey from France, and then Switzerland, then across Austria, all the way to Hungary and Romania, making sure that I cross as many mountains as I possibly can.
Off topic, but that question mark just indicates that the following are POST arguments (separated by &). For example, logging into ChatGPT, you’d encounter a URL like this:
https://auth.openai.com/authorize
?audience=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.openai.com%2Fv1
&client_id=
&ext-login-allow-phone=true
&ext-oai-did=
&prompt=login
&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fchatgpt.com%2Fapi%2Fauth%2Fcallback%2Fopenai
&response_type=code
&scope=openid%20email%20profile%20offline_access%20model.request%20model.read%20organization.read%20organization.write
&screen_hint=login
&state=
&flow=treatment
I’ve separated the different parameters being sent for readability. Moreover, I’ve removed some of the values that came with the URL because yikes! It’s even more egregious in shopping side URLs though.
Some of those URLs won’t work with that stuff removed (as some of those arguments are mandatory), but some, like Wikipedia, would work perfectly fine.
Anyways, sorry about that. Here’s the link without that shit:
In most urbanized areas, even in suburbs, you can buy daily necessities (food, personal hygiene, medicine, etc) in just a short walk. If in a subdivision, like in a suburb, there would be some houses with an attached corner store. Failing to find what you need there, a convenience store would be a bit further (either still inside the subdivision, or just out the gate).
If you need to do your groceries, you can use public transport to the market. Even within subdivisions (with some exceptions, like those for the wealthy), there usually would be some form of public transport that could take you to the main highway, and from there, to the market.
That’s just one that immediately came to mind upon reading the prompt. Not sure if there are others, but it’s the most striking to me, and one that I’ve taken for granted until hearing about the US’ suburbs.
Nothing will get done.
Well, not exactly. My clones could probably make a decent guess on what to do, but they’d procrastinate on it and do something else given what’s available to them. Before long, everyone starves to death.
I bet the views of the Alps are majestic from there!
And yeah! I imagine the trip would be so much fun (though a bit exhausting). It’d be combining two of the things that fascinate me: mountains and trains.
I sometimes fantasize going from the northern tip of Scotland all the way to Singapore on a train. Not non-stop, of course, but maybe going from one city to another, spending some time on a city until I get my fill, and then hop on the train to the next one. All the way until I run out of land. Maybe from there (Singapore), I can do island-hopping across Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Then road trip in Australia. But that’s really stretching it, not just in terms of logistics and planning. At the pace I do things, do I really want to spend like five years crawling through Europe, Asia, and Australia? Even if money’s no object, I don’t think I can do that.
Sorry for the ramble. Given the scope of the question, yeah, a cross-Europe mountain train trip is perhaps my limit (that’d be like, two weeks? maybe a month if I take my time to really enjoy each place I visit?)
