But how did it GET in the camel?
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
1. I could not conceive of stronger evidence that capitalism, as a system of logistics and infrastructure, is perilously bad. From now until my dying day, every time someone tries to defend capitalism I could just throw up my hands and yell , "the boat got stuck! Twice!" I would love to see how buffoons try to defend that.
2. It would be incredibly funny.

It getting stuck again would very much be a Bad Thing(TM).

Pipe posted about what kind of shipping ripples there are already out in the world right now and if you've ever worked in manufacturing, import/export or anything like that then odds are good that even aside from the Good Ship WTF being back in the canal things right now are scaring the pants off you. I won't defend rampant capitalism cause that shit is janky and busted, but it's hard to knock down a system when the foundation for the next isn't even poured yet.

That's an indictment of capitalism how?
Even after a boat that is classified as too big to go through the canal got stuck they sent it back through for logistical reasons.

Capitalisms thirst for profits led multiple international businesses to send a boat that has already shown to be too large to go through this canal is now going back through the same canal.
It's the exact situation of not learning your lesson, but in this case you're doing it in the neverending search for PROFIT!

Yeah dude. Every decision which led to the boat getting stuck in the first place were motivated by short-sighted, corner-cutting capitalist profit motive. Furthermore, the fact that a single major disruption could seriously negatively impact the entire planet goes to show that capitalism isn't very good at properly planning for disaster is because it's not profitable to do so.

The boat is the size it is because that's the largest possible size it can be to fit through the canal, which is absolutely a profit driven decision above anything else

If you ever need a similar counterargument to deregulation you can refer people to the Austrian wine poisoning scandal of the mid-1980s.

I'd joke about wanting it to get stuck again because it was hilarious last time, but honestly so much of my online shopping got fucked because of it that I'd rather it not happen again lol
I mean I literally work in the importing industry and our shipments are currently delayed by like 4 months already but yeah, I'm real sorry about the paper towels you ordered.
Did y'all know that there's a worldwide shipping container and fucking shipping pallet shortage right now? Containers are coming out of China, but there's nothing to put in them for the return journey and it's too expensive to send empty containers so they're just hanging out.
What I'm saying is if you're planning on buying people gifts for the holidays this year do it now.
Legit question: What did we used to put in the containers before? My whole life, I've heard about these mythical trade imbalances, but it just seems weird that empty containers are piling up somewhere.. and it makes me wonder how this was solved in the past. Was it a case where empty containers were shipped back, and now they aren't because it isn't worth the cost?
So unless I missed a step it has been basically impounded in a lake in the center of the canal this whole time so that Egypt (?) could extort / fine the owners. So it's not "going through" again, it's just finally actually leaving.
I thought it did that a month or two ago? I remember hearing it was moving / released.
According to this Reuters article it left the canal and arrived in Rotterdam in late July. It then went to Felixstowe, England, earlier this month. It's now making the trip back through the canal on its way to Singapore.
Fingers crossed!
Some of my coastal friends went to wave at it as it passed their town

Alright, yea, that's fair.
It's mostly that I don't want that fucker to be there when I next circumnavigate.
I'm at least a year from living on it full time and it's unknown if I'll ever go all the way 'round, but I like to think of it like driving on a road full of idiots. It would be better if they didn't fuck it up for everyone.

Raw materials and food mostly, but there was unusual excess of containers left over from the run on masks and other medical supplies earlier in the pandemic.
Also shipping was probably less efficient and companies have updated operations over time to fuel the forever growth the market demands and can’t go back now

When do you think I'll get my frisbee?
Did you check the bush?
Since the last time the smaller ships just don't satisfy the canal any more
shipping is still so fucked, guys
please do not get the boat in the canal again, i want to work regular hours and not surprise over/undertime
This sounds like a far quicker and less painful death than the climate catastrophe and whatever the fascists are cooking up so
SHIPPING DELAY! SHIPPING DELAY! BREAK THE WORLDWIDE ECONOMY! CRASH THE SYSTEM!
I also made this one, most of you will not understand this one, but I assure you it is extremely funny.
Satans..... hints.....
And why is it wearing my pajamas?!
