I had no idea the US was voxel based - no wonder everyone seems so strange over there!

It's so cute when Americans talk about mountains.

The north east mountains are beautiful, old, wilderness. So crazy in places you can't even predict the weather. And if you're bragging about size, maybe try remembering the US is not the world.

The Sierra Nevadas are no joke. If you drive through them in wintertime you are absolutely taking a risk, not only because you're driving on windy (if well-maintained) mountain highways, but you may get stuck in snow despite your chains and will freeze to death.

If you are lucky, a CHP or forest ranger may see you and help you out.

Heaven forbid you have engine trouble or run out of fuel.

Ours are older and were taller.

They're both gorgeous. Why do we have to pit two queens against one another?

The geographical feature that you have no control over is for losers.

whatever you do, just don't live down there

The thing about mountains is that they're all big when you're at the bottom of them

I love my Cascades and the Rockies are majestic and impressive, but the Appalachians are basically the wizened old crones of mountains. They're weird and mysterious. They're full of forests and traditions and stories. They demand respect.

Also, listen, folks from the eastern Midwest are barely used to hills then having to drive through them is scary.

Thats cute.

Look at the danish mountains and despair!

Sky Mountain! a whopping peak height of 140m elevation. A hike so deadly that it is a time honored tradition to let our kindergarten aged children 'climb' it. Takes an afternoon (barely) and theres a small giftshop selling icecream and knick knacks on top of it.

Try and best that yanks! 😎

I love love love listening to my Western friends complaining about how much more difficult Appalachian trails are. See this creek bed? That's the trail. No pansy switchbacks to keep the grade nice. If there's a headwall, we're going straight to the lip.

The Appalachians have been mountains longer than North America has been a continent

Man in a few million years that tweet is gonna look hella dumb
