OMG! There's a ship stuck in the Suez Canal!

What if the caftan I ordered is onboard? What if it's trapped there forever?

Hold me, David. I'm scared!

Is there any way they can dismantle the ship?

No R1. It is apparently the size of the Empire State Building. They are digging it out.

Whose brilliant idea was it to steer a ship this size into the narrow-ass Suez Canal? The vessel was "hit by a gust of wind" and ran aground? Puh-leeze.

They don't seem to be having any luck, R2.

Why can't they push the stern end? Or find a way to dam the section of the canal around the ship and fill it with water to float it up and move it.

How are they going to dig it out though? Wouldn't you think they need to free it from underneath too? It's probably all stuck up on sandbars underneath.

Stupid. Do you think you're funny, OP?

I hope they get it out soon.. there are thousands of animals stuck in ships that are waiting to get thru.

R9, why do you always use conservative, right leaning sources? It seems as though you frequently stumble across these sites and link them for sourcing. I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

[quote] They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor conservative causes.

They're saying that if the ship isn't freed soon, THERE WILL BE A WORLDWIDE TOILET PAPER SHORTAGE!!!

AGAIN!!!!

by Anonymousreply 15March 28, 2021 2:54 AM

There's gonna be a worldwide shortage of toilet paper if they don't get that ship unstuck.

R11 I don't always use conservative websites. But I do check out the headlines at drudge sometimes because I don't see the same article somewhere else. Not a conservative but I read things from both sides. Drudge is a good aggregate news source, they have every paper of note listed and use sources from different sites. I don't always pay attention to if the news site is conservative or not. I don't like reading conservative opinions but if it is straight news I don't care.

Yup I bought some TP this weekend just in case.

by Anonymousreply 18March 28, 2021 9:06 PM

Haven't we all got a 12-pack in our storerooms, from the last shortage?

The conspiracy theorists have put a load of bullshit out that Hillary was the captain of this shit, the ship was packed full of child sex slaves, etc., etc.
