Sometimes, all you want is an excessively large shipping container to block one of the world's largest waterways, just as a pleasant distraction from *gestures vaguely*

People need a new ship clog to see? Apparently the Sunnanvik, a cement carrier, is blocking the Cuyahoga River coming out of Cleveland.

Not as impressive as the Evergiven, but hey. It's Cleveland. Nothing impressive happens there.

The Ever Given is finally free. Beyond the memes, its journey reminds us of humanity's fascinating dance with the vast, powerful ocean—our first frontier. A marvel of engineering, yet humbled by nature. What a story. #EverGiven #SuezUnstuck #MaritimeTales

Report out on the Ever Given #Suez Canal mishap.

#Evergiven

The local pilots were utterly incompetent.

Hard to Port! Hard to Starboard! Ahead Full! 1/2 speed! No Full Speed!

And what a ships bow looks like crashing into the canal wall. (the little yellow things at the bottom are people for scale!)

Then the workshop where, in small groups, we worked on analyzing memes. The group I'm in worked on the "Put it back" meme after the #Evergiven was freed from the Suez Canal.

@rdfhrn viel Glück! Von den meisten #fahrradwerkstatt bin ich enttäuscht miese Qualität oder total ausgebucht. Da schraube ich selbst am #fahhrad . Die wichtigsten Verschleißteile habe ich vorrätig (bevor die #evergiven quer lag), so dass es meist schnell geht. Das nutzt der Freundeskreis auch gerne... Das einzige, was ich nicht gerne mache ist das Hinterrad mit #Nabenschaltung ausbauen. Den Einbau finde ich echt fummelig.
Die Befriedigung etwas selbst gemacht zu haben, ist immer super.

Wir sind heute durch den Elbtunnel in #Hamburg gefahren. Ich sagte zu den Kindern: „Schaut mal raus, gleich seht ihr die großen Schiffe.“ Und siehe da - dort lag ausgerechnet die #EverGiven! https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=9811000

So many coincidental #shippingDisruptions since 2021 have exacerbated inflationary pressures worldwide.

First, #EverGiven put all #EyesOnSuez just as #Biden took office, and he got blamed for worldwide #inflation ➡️ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Suez_Canal_obstruction

Then #Iran-backed #Houthi militia disrupted #RedSea shipping, and Biden again got blamed for inflation.

Then, #climateChange conspired, to bring drought & disrupt #globalTrade #PanamaCanal, and Biden still got blamed for inflation ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111776393285329419

@koehntopp Wenn die zufahrt zum Hamburger Hafen von Kuttern gesperrt wird, hat das warscheinlich heftigere Folgen für die Wirtschaft und den einzelnen als die paar Trecker.
