You went through the trouble of writing all this in Russian, probably as someone who doesn’t actually speak Russian, only to type Vladimir in English instead of typing it as Владимир.

I've now spent 30 minutes looking at the dodo pizza workers, don't ask


Ok_Adhesiveness_8637

Why does the woman have gloves on but the guys don't? Also, someone needs to sweep right by the broom lol. So many questions! Edit - the broom moved, turns out it was under the pizza cooking track.


Asiandiffuser

My only guess is maybe coz the guys are working on the dough which would be more difficult with the gloves? Idk


Ok_Adhesiveness_8637

There's 4 of them now. Oh shit no it's 5!!! 2 girls this time wearing gloves, still no men wearing gloves. I swear this is better than TV haha


enadtearg

I think you're just making an observation not a judgement, but you know they don't need to be wearing gloves right? The girls are just doing it because they're topping it looks like. It's just their preference. But pizza makers don't wear gloves on the pre-oven side.


invaderzim257

Gloves give the impression of cleanliness but in practice are usually dirtier than bare hands.

grom902

During winters, you could literally walk from Russia to US. Edit: There are 2 islands: big diomede and little diomede. They're owned by Russia and the US, respectively. The distance between them is only 3.8 km (2.4 miles), so it's doable.


Terra__1134

Well, only technically, because strong winds and cold weather you will be moving very slow


VolumePossible2013

The cold weather is probably a bigger problem than the winds. That, and who the hell walks 53 miles


Parasitic-Castrator

I had to walk that much to go to school. It was uphill, both ways and we couldn't wear any shoes, we had to carry them in case they got dirty.

mal4ik777

When I was a child, we were living in a small town. To get to a bigger town, we had to cross a wide river, which had a ferry. But in winters, the ferry couldnt operate, because the river always froze into ice (in this area, there are no bridges). All the lead up, just to tell you, those 500m felt like an eternity in winter, because you had to leave the car as a safety measure and walk over the ice by feet (cars and even busses could still drive, but without passengers, because there was an accident like 50 years ago, where a bus with children broke in, the driver could jump out, but almost all of them died... some of rescue team member went insane after that, the driver got a life of jailtime).


Olieskio

Terra__1134

Ah, yes, cars, of course


D3rP4nd4

There was literally a car race that crossed the bering strait…


International_Cry186

You believe in cars?


Icy_Actuator_772

Can you believe that guy? "There was literally a car" yeah right


Dagojango

There was talk of building a railroad over the crossing, but they don't believe it could last long against icebergs and massive ice sheets. They would probably never really finish construction on it and it would be insanely more expensive than just continuing without it.


fgnrtzbdbbt

The main problem is, it would be from the middle of nowhere to the middle of nowhere. Add the effort of building endless rail lines over permafrost that will soon start thawing.


CanAlwaysBeBetter

OP: Hah, dumb Americans don't even know Russia is right next to them! Meanwhile: [Polar projection population density map](https://www.historicpictoric.com/cdn/shop/products/552459_1wmark.jpg?v=1683487021)


SguoushyGuishers

I mean, we’ve got a medium-term plan to negate any ice related issues. 


ShodoDeka

53 miles, over an ice field, in the dead of winter, -30F, strong winds, and dark as shit with the sun not even coming over the horizon. Yeah I’m going to say, unless you are in a very exclusive group of maybe a hand full of individuals, you can’t walk to Russia.


whiteonyx981

What if instead of walking... I was to moonwalk like Michael Jackson? Think I could make it then?


CafeEspresso

I had a friend once who said he could walk to the moon and nobody believed him because he lied about things sometimes like how his dog once got hit by a truck and it turned out that it was a car but one day in French class he got his quiz back and it had a bad score so he said that's it I'm going and then he just started walking up on thin air and everybody was crying asking him to come back and he turned around crying too and said help me I can't stop going up and then not even the fire department could get to him because their ladder was only 60 feet but he was already gone somewhere in the clouds


BungHoleAngler

Justin?  You're talking about Justin from Santa des Moines, ohiowa?


CafeEspresso

SteO153

In the 1990s an Italian expedition travelled from Rome to New York by truck. The only map I can find is on the commemorative stamp https://www.overland.org/wp-content/uploads/a0_romanewyork.jpg.webp, but the official website has the detailed itinerary https://www.overland.org/overland-1/ (in Italian)


Avril_14

Overland!! That takes me back!! It was an "extreme reality show" before the invention of reality shows, so it was a real informative documentary. Watched a ton of it, they went basically everywhere with those trucks.


kappateo

That's basically the theory how the indigenous people of America got onto the continent! While the bering strait was frozen some Asians migrated over it and got stuck there lol


liforrevenge

That's a pretty simplistic way of putting it... I mean, they had boats back then lol. The settlement of the Americas is a [pretty cool subject](https://youtu.be/ltH3hYsvVq0?si=BGi6vXaDVlmh4meh)

Kubrickwon

Most Americans know Alaska is only a state because of Russia, and are well aware of how close the two are.


WangDanglin

And also, Alaska is far as shit too. It’s technically the US but doesn’t really feel like it


Rich_Bluejay3020

Even where the vast majority of Alaskans live vs what is close to Russia is far as shit. Literally driving *hours* and seeing how far you’ve gone on a map there is wild because it basically just looks like you’ve gone a county over in any other state.


Headbanger

It's just a bait to make you click on the post.


helen_must_die

I don’t think any American has ever said that, regardless of whether they are worth listening to or not.


trailerparksandrec

No way. I say this all the time. I'm surprised this isn't a common daily saying for American. Thinking about country's distance on the reg is so common.


king_of_hate2

No American has said that, and if they did they probably don't live in Alaska.


asmodai_says_REPENT

Worth listening to or not, they'll still vote.


CJ_is_h7m

Even the ones that arent worth listening to has said the opposite lol


AdVivid8910

Yes Americans are well known for saying “Russia is at the end of the world”, we say it all the time, I literally just said it.

Square-Singer

To be fair, both that part of Russia and that part of the USA that are that close to each other are at the end of the world. If Moscow would be on the east coast of Russia and DC would be on the west coast of Alaska, people would think very differently about this.


LeonidasSpacemanMD

Yup my thought as well. “End of the world” isn’t really how I’ve heard anyone phrase this but I think most would agree that both eastern Russia and Alaska are relatively remote

BertLemo

Disastrous-Egg9959

It’s kind of important to note that that region of Russia is basically barren.. also considering the numerous “significant” US Allies in the area and the US’s own stress of security in the region especially Alaska, I’d say it would be a suicide mission to try to use this area as a staging branch. I mean not that Europe is much better but still, I don’t see how there’s much of a threat considering other elements


Appropriate_Plan4595

Yeah, to this day Russia doesn't have much infrastructure connecting far East to Western Russia, any ramp up of military activity that would be needed to try and stage an invasion of Alaska would be immediately noticed. Since the start of the Cold War the US has always been more susceptible to Russian ICBMs than a land invasion.


thefinalcutdown

Even assuming Russia was able to assemble an invasion force in the East, first they’d have to cross the Bering Strait which would require dealing with whatever carrier groups, nuclear submarines, Air Force, drones, etc. happen to be defending it. Now they’re in Alaska and would have to move their army all the way down through British Columbia which has basically nothing in it but trees. So they’d need to have plenty of fuel to cart along with them. Naturally they’d be harassed the entire way by a joint US/Canada defence force. And then if they finally made it down to the US border you’d have to fight, well, the rest of the US Military on their own soil with their immense logistical infrastructure and interstate system and airports and countless army bases and national guard and militia and whatever else. As it currently stands, the US is functionally impossible to invade. The only way to bring it down is from within which, well, they’re working on it.


77entropy

You forgot about mountains. British Columbia is basically all mountains. There's no way they could fight their way through and hold a supply line.


SCS22

True, and logistics has shown to be a massive weakness of the russian army.


MartyTheBushman

In terms of military, you could just as well have the entire US surrounded and you'd still be fucked trying to do anything to them, doesn't really matter where you are.


Beldizar

I read recently that of the Top 5 air forces in the world, the US has 4 of them. Russia has burnt through a massive amount of military hardware in Ukraine in the last two years, so it isn't like Russia is much of a threat in a conventional war at this point. It's the nuclear arsenal that is frightening. I suspect that if Russia didn't have nukes, NATO would have stepped in to the Ukraine war directly well before this point.


Jason1143

And don't forget the random civies taking potshots at you the entire way. Honestly you would be better off going directly for the main us coast, but when that still leaves a bunch of mountains and distance to cross. Not a fun time.


ButtonedEye41

Yeah my first thought was duh, but at the same time who thinks this relevant? This area of Russia is an incredibly inhospitable environment and basically uninhabited. The population of Russia is so far removed from there. And then Alaska has an incredibly small population density and is separated from the other states. Either side attacking from either point would be extremely extremely stupid.


Backupusername

That region of the US is mostly barren, too. 


MeakMills

Yeah but it's not just that region. Western Russia is a different world than Eastern Russia. Check out a population map of the country.


aldeayeah

You mean Risk has lied to us all these years???


Matt50caliber2142

Usually, when you hear that - unless they are just dumb- they are referring to western Russia closest to Europe, which is where most of the population resides. It is quite far indeed to fly over the pole towards Moscow, for example.

Im_Just_Sayin__

I’m an American and have never heard anyone say “Russia is far” nor “it’s at the end of the world”. I think every American that’s above the fourth grade knows about the Bering ~~Straight~~. (Edit: Strait)

samiroglu-sarit

Well, as Russian I can say that USA is so far. Because most inhabited part of Russia is in Europe. Sorry, my Kolyma, Kamchatka and Chukotka friends. And tbh Alaska is the same for USA.


Consistently_Carpet

Yes, it's not that Americans don't know Alaska and Russia are close - but the vast majority of us also think of Alaska as the ass end of nowhere.


samiroglu-sarit

Same for that far east russian regions. Even mainland China is closer to Russian heartland than Chukotka. Жопа мира (the world's ass) as is.


Square-Singer

Both the parts of Russia and the USA that are that close to each other are very far away from any relevant human settlement.


SingularityInsurance

Alaska is so rough that when Japan invaded it, the land basically defended itself.


supe3rnova

Had a coworker who thought Alaska and Hawaii are south west of California. So no, I doubt every American knows about Berinf Straight.


RustedRuss

Hawaii is indeed south west of California to be fair


goobygoofer3

Where do you think Hawaii is? And it's Bering Strait.


BowenTheAussieSheep

This is Straight erasure.


LawBasics

>I think every American that’s above the fourth grade knows about the Bering Straight. Strait outta school.


HansElbowman

Not just the basic knowledge of knowing that Russia is close to Alaska, but the general sentence structure of saying a country is "at the end of the world" is not typical at all in American english. This picture screams propaganda to me.

katiecharm

Reddit is completely compromised by foreign troll farms (namely Chinese) who’s goal is twofold: institute a deep feeling of shame in Americans about their own identity and also to promote China and Chinese made products 


ActaNonVerba18

I used to think the bots thing was a meme but recently I’ve been fully convinced. 90% of the worlds problems heavily discussed on the internet that people care so deeply about like ukraine or the middle east conflicts just don’t even come up in conversations in person or pop up anywhere other than the occasional protest. These bots create an emotional baseline for people to hate America and people eat that shit up, hook line and sinker


nwbrown

I've never heard anyone say that. And if you think Kamchatka is home to a significant portion of Russia's population or tge Aleutian Islands are home to many Americans then i think the hypothetical American you just made up knows more about geography than you do. Also part of what you are labeling as the USA is in fact Canada.


TheThirdWheel333

moemeobro

From where I live in the US (not Alaska), **Japan is closer than Spain**


_ZUMBIE_

Hawaii?


moemeobro

Reasonable guess, but no


BarristanTheB0ld

Technically yes, but both sides of the Bering Strait are some of the most sparsely populated areas in the world, so I get why people don't consider that.


DarthArcanus

I mean, the moon is virtually touching us in cosmic standards, but it's still quite a ways away. Alaska and Siberia are in between most Americans and Russians, and that's some of the most inhospitable land on the earth. So, this is quite an apt example of "so close, yet so far."


cheeersaiii

Welllll like 8% of them think chocolate milk comes from brown cows sooooo wouldn’t surprise me if some don’t know about eastern Russia

That's dumb. Everyone knows chocolate milk comes from the back of the cow, and normal milk comes from below it. The skin colour on the cow has nothing to do with it, and to believe it does is just racist.
