    Travelling in a highspeed train becomes unremarkable pretty quickly.

    Passing another train on the next track that goes the same speed in the opposite direction is still kinda exciting ngl.

      When it gets unremarkable, you can entertain yourself with a book, or a show, or just zone out completely, which is nice from time to time. Doing any of these in a car is deadly.

      I will take unremarkable over necessarily stressful

        I’ll never forget passing a car on the freeway and seeing an asshole reading a big hardcover book while in the driver’s seat of a Tesla sedan going 120 kph. both hands on the book.

        I don’t want to have to drive on the same roads as these idiots, let me take a train

      Everytime I get a beer and a vegan currywurst at 200kp/h I start believing in good things again. Ya gotta use the amenities. Have a piss at breakneck speed. Just walk a bit to stretch your legs while doing either. Get a nice nap in for a bit. Shit rules.
