Y’ALL THE WAIT TO FIX THE SUEZ CANAL IS SO LONG THAT EVERYONE IS JUST GOING THE FUCK AROUND THE ENTIRE CONTINENT OF AFRICA AGAIN
A ton of people in Cape Town are about to get unexpectedly rich
OH MY GOD THEY DID IT IT HAPPENED WE’RE BACK TO 1700′S SHIPPING ROUTES FOLKS
🎶You’d wish to God you’d ne’er been born🎵
Sorry folks, but that’s regular traffic. Ships haven’t started to make u-turns yet, and if they had, they wouldn’t be anywhere near the Cape at this point:
[ID: Commodity analysts Kpler said in a statement Thursday: “As delays continue, shippers will have to broach the unpalatable decision of whether to make a u-turn and head for the Cape of Good Hope or wait it out in the Red Sea and Mediterranean.“Currently, taking such a route is “unlikely,” Kpler said, given the extensive delays that would cause. Giving a sample route, the company said: “Suez to Amsterdam at 12 knots is just over 13 days via the canal, or 41 days via the Cape.” /ID]
Ahh, thank you for the good solid facts! Ships fandom is a wise and well-informed fandom.
It would be cute seeing Mewtwo trying to warm Huey up in his warm scarf after he's fallen in the ice cold water but maybe it's too soon xD

some of my favorite boat names floating around the suez
I recommend scrolling to a port and start clicking the fuschia dots. They’re pleasure crafts, owned by civilians, and they have the most amazing names.
the suez canal situation has SUCH an overwhelmingly 17776 vibe to it
this literally belongs in 17776/20020. this is jon bois’s big-stakes absurd humor made real
the massive scale of it all, the maps showing the effects, the gargantan consequences from something so absurdly stupid and juvenile as a dick and butt being drawn in the ocean by a cargo ship bigger than the empire state building that then gets wedged in a tight canal that 10% of world trade passes through and blocking the flow of traffic. this is literally it
