Canal authority is what I call it when my wife bosses me around >

No that one is without the C >

No, what you mean is when the morning coffee takes control >

This guy Reddit’s on the john. >

his wife's name is John? >

Maybe it's a last name like Olivia Newton >

His wife's name is John Olivia Newton? >

Sure >

Sounds like no one read the article... They were able to get the ship unstuck, and it didn't sound like it caused any blockage. So nothing to worry about, and nothing like the last blockage. >

Top comments tend to be title reactionary because most people do not read into anything. At least they get karma! >

karma is such a misnomer on here. >

It really is! It's more like golf where a higher score isn't better >

Between this and the other things happening around the world it's like watching the events of the past 2-3 years replaying themselves. >



Ship stuck at the Suez Canal ✅


A high number of contagious tourists coming in from China ✅


A defeated president's supporters storm a country's government buildings ✅


Yep, sounds familiar alright. >


Suez Canal blocked by a cargo ship ✅

From the article:

Canal traffic is unaffected, the canal authority's chairman Osama Rabie said. >

Great, you just ruined the next 26 comments I had planned. >

Wonderful. Too early for a pun chain. >

Clearly not, unless we channel harder. >

haha I love that we are on the same boat >

Looks like this ship has already sailed. >

Sailing on a ship of fools 🎶 >

It got up and left, why is everyone confused? >

Nobody asked for a sequel to Attack of the Crab Monsters (1957). >

The vessel didn't get stuck or wedged into anything, it just had a technical failure and needed towing. This isn't a similar issue to the one back in 2020. >

*again >

Hooray! Worldwide commerce meltdown again! Oh, wait, no, that one is bad... >

Yeah hopefully it gets resolved quick, more supply chain issues are not what we need right now >

A quick scan of the article says it doesn't affect traffic.... I know reading isn't fun though. >

It has now been cleared! >

Not again. >

What next, a bowl of petunias? >

dunno, time to start eating a bat's soup from a chinese wetmarket >

Hey, I've seen this one before >

What do you mean you seen this one before, it’s brand new >

It has been resolved already: source >

Imagine the captains face right now though. Just think. They all hope it won't be them, but it had to be someone. >

Not the captain or the crew's fault, Suez Canal get their own person to control the ship through the crossing for some godforsaken stupid reason. >

Oh my God. >

That's how the other two boats got stuck too, always someone that's not experienced with the boat trying to pilot a massive hunk of steel down a narrow canal. >

This should be interesting, 2023 off to a good start :) >

Looks like a lousy remake of couple of previous years... >

Great, now I will have to wait even longer for my container full of rubber dog poo >

Try sourcing some local organic dog poo.  Who knows, you may be pleasantly surprised with the smell and texture of the local poo. >

For a second I thought I had my frontpage sorted by "top" >

Not again. >


the bowl of petunias >

You lost me ... ? >

Ahh. Yeah, I defiantly wouldn't have gotten that reference. I was more referring to the large container ship that blocked the canal for a long time and caused international chaos. I am sure you know what I'm referring too. I've only watched the movie but have never read the book series. Is it a good read? >

I've only read the first book. If you like humor it's a good way to spend time on a cold winter day. >

Are bats in the news again too? >

Oh GOD DAMMIT. >

The thing that caught my attention “A cargo vessel carrying Ukrainian grain to China was refloated after running aground in the Suez Canal on Monday.”
China stock piling 👀 >

Have we even recover from the last? >

I already saw this episode… >

What do you mean you already saw it, it’s brand new >

:( why did it have to be a Ukrainian grain ship … they need the god damn money and the world needs their god damn grain . >

And why does China need Ukrainian grain? >

So people dont starve ? >

I didn't realize that such a massive industrial country as China needs grain import to not starve. >

Combined ukraine and russia i believe grow 80% of the worlds grain . >

Here we go. Another reason for prices to suddenly rise even though nothing has changed yet >

Oh god please, Not again. >

This new is breaking! >

“Attention, Gangstalicious has been shot!” >

Maybe the canal needs some kind of improvement to prevent this happening? No idea how to do that, but when this keeps happening you start to wonder if maybe it's the canal. >

When I go bowling I use the bumpers. Just do that. Easy. >

And “supply chain” becomes the most used phrase of 2023. I swear we did this one already >

What is this, a recap episode? >

My exact thought >

It's even funnier the second time! >

Wait, is it 2020 again? >

always_has_been_meme.jpg >

They gotta stop texting and driving. >

Not this shit again... I need a drink. >

Carrying more than 65,000 tonnes of corn from Ukraine bound for China. >

That’s geopolitics at its finest. Just further proves that money is all that matters. >

Again!? >

lmao not again…. Glad it was less of an issue this time >

Title is exactly what I said aloud when my pp got stuck in your mom. >

AGAIN!?! >

Maybe the writers for our simulation were killed in a pandemic and we're on a loop. >

Ship Happens >

Great. Another supply chain bottleneck. >

OH NOOO!! WE SUCK AGAIN!! >

Again ?? >

“Trouble in the Suez” - Billy Joel >

From the article: “It is currently unclear to what extent canal traffic is affected.”
Pretty sure that means it is badly affected. >

Also from the article:

Canal traffic is unaffected, the canal authority's chairman Osama Rabie said. >

Im not even lying, they changed/updated the article and now its 4x as long with much more info. Thanks. >

I actually thought something like that happened. I don't think you're lying! I mean, that would be a weird thing to lie about. >

Well this year is off to a GREAT start. >

Fsck, again? >

I bet my new tote bag was on there. >

On a ship carrying grain from Ukraine to China? >

Can anyone linke some radar site for ships? So we can track how "bad" it is? >

You wouldn't look at the article to find out it's already resolved and traffic is unaffected... but you'd look at some random site in the comments if someone linked it. Amazing. >

Bro, they updated the article. It was the first post of it being stuck on worldnews. It got rescued pretty fast.... >

Too many annoying and unfunny comments in here. 
Can someone with some expertise explain why this seems to keep happening?  I see this Ukraine grain vessel was already cleared but this seems to be common. >

Not an expert, but my best guess. This does happen semi regularly, most likely a couple times a year. Like a highway, no matter how safe you build it, someone will always cause an accident, and temporarily shut it down while work crews go in to clean up mess.
But the Evergrade incident was such a major shut down that it became a massive world headline. And now anytime something happens to the Suez Canal, multiple news sites jump on the story hoping for a new Evergrade story.
So it likely isn't happening more, we are just now reporting it when it does happen. >

I dont know why I find this so fucking funny. >


Canal traffic is unaffected, the canal authority's chairman Osama Rabie said. >

It’s like deja vu all over again. >

Again? >

Jesus, not again. >

oh no... not again. >

Okay, who decided to put history on loop? >

Oh no, not again. >

Let's gooooo! >

We don’t need no stinkin supply chain! >

Evergreen 2? >

The name's the hint, innit >

This was a good episode of The Truman Show. >

De ja vu >

Looks like they'll have to make it even wider for the influx of inexperienced shipping crews in the industry. >

Seriously, how often does this happens? >

It’s even funnier the second time!! >

Please not with my stuff in it. Please.
