Kevin McCarthy losing four five six seven eight ten consecutive Speaker of the House votes (so far) is legitimately one of the funniest things to ever happen. This is 2023's boat stuck in the Suez Canal. Something important has ceased working for the most hilarious possible reason and we are all watching desperate attempts to get it working again while secretly hoping it does not, and I think that's beautiful

I look forward to future history classes when kids have to learn how people coped during a global pandemic by being completely invested in a boat for six days and then continue to bring it up like it was the greatest event in human history (because it is)

My English teacher was talking about reading a world history book, and she mentioned there was a canal in it. She couldn't remember the name. I suggested the Suez Canal and she pointed at me with her eyes wide, saying I was right, and my entire class was staring at me like Girl. How did you know that. I only knew it bc my mom made me listen to the same world history audiobook series over and over again, and apparently the only canal that was relevant in world history is the Suez.
Also the memes, but I wasn't about to tell my class that everyone on this one obscure website I use was memeing about the canal getting jammed.

On this, the second anniversary of the Evergiven getting stuck in the Suez Canal, I would like to remind everyone that Joe Hills built a model of the ship in his season 7 base, the Strait of Joebraltar.
It is worth mentioning that Bdubs was once trying to transport a villager through the Strait of Joebraltar and he was not able to get through because the ship was in the way. So yes, it did disrupt nautical trade on the server.

March 23, 2021: The Ever Given blocks the Suez Canal for 6 days and 7 hours. It took 14 tug boats at high tide to dislodge the 224,000-ton vessel on March 29th.
