Maybe they should bury it even more in the dirt, and let the canal waters run over it, restoring flow


Then we can make an underground city out of the boat, each of the containers is a house. Everyone that lives there is a muppet, and they sometimes come out of tunnels to steal radishes from the other boats that travel the canal. At the beginning of each day we sing a song about it too, it could be an Egyptian fraggle rock.

No one involved in this multi billion dollar canal industry seems to have come up with a plan if a ship jackknifed in the canal though... So maybe the goon solutions would actually work instead of bringing 1 backhoe to the job that will probably fall into the canal before this is done.

Two excavators

If two lightsabers were strong enough for Rey to reflect Palpatine's god-like lightning back into himself in Rise of Skywalker, then two excavators should be more than enough to dig Ever Given out of the canal.

I didn't know the captain of the ship clogging one of the world's most important water routes had a forums account, nor did I know there is internet access to something awful from said ship!

All toilet paper in Europe comes from Andorra, so this won't affect it. In fact, you specifically should not be rushing out and getting toilet paper now because it would be foolish to do so, and definitely not because I want you to run out so we can all laugh at you.

Except in this case it's not just capitalism, it's also a corrupt third-world nation ruled by a military boss.

Most of it comes from Eastern Europe and the rural bits of the Nordics.

No he is right, >90% of all european toilet paper comes from Andorra. It's a huge toilet paper factory and roughly half of the 100k population of the country works in the toilet industry. The country's official name is even The Principality of andorra and the Pyrenees Toilet Factories. It gets shortened to just andorra though most of the time
