On Tuesday evening, a massive container ship about the length of four soccer fields was pushed around by a strong gust of wind, causing the ship to become a giant blockade stretching the entire length of the Suez Canal. Hundreds of other cargo ships haven't been able to pass through the canal, which will become a huge problem for international trade if they don't figure something out soon. Images of a tiny bulldozer trying to dig the gigantic ship out of the mud has been a strangely relatable and Sisyphean sight for many people who have had a pretty tough time lately. Twitter was quick to meme the images into metaphors for depression, procrastination, anxiety and other particularly human afflictions.
