"put it in a box"
everyone: this guy's a genius

[djfhsusbruh]

YouTube recommendations are pure gold,
Here after Suez Canal.

Americans when they hear about using meters instead of bald eagles per football fields: *Visible confusion*

[xefair]

Why does every narrator in 1960's - 1980's documentary's have a golden voice?

[tjbanansen]

so basically some genius invented the box.

[AllenCx]

The rest of the world: meters, the most logical units of measurement

Americans: FoOTbaLL fIeLdS

[Miesko]

Imagine if one of these ships got stuck in like a major waterway or something, oh wait.

[BijanIzadi]

These do not dock in the us? That means that the container ships I have seen so far in person are no where near as big

[ajmomoho]

These videos are great, but too short. If this was 12 minutes I'd still watch it.

[RenzohsClub]

My disappointment is so immeasurable you cant even measure it by football fields

[ste.f]

I've gone into one of these ships which carries cars. My uncle was the captain so we got to have a tour around the place. Absolutely massive

[bobthebobman]

Nobody:
Literally nobody:
America: “so our boat is about 60 hamburgers per washing machine”

[imeakdo]

Even with the panama canal expanded, the msc oscar can't use the canal. The locks are still too small for these kind of ships and that's why a 4th set of locks is planned and it's probably being designed right now

[E_AA]

Am I the only one that read the title as “Humans for sale”?

[sayantan]

The thumbnail doesn't look right 😅

[JamesThatcher]

I've been in the international logistics community for almost 20 years - this is the best short form explanation I've seen. I will be using this as a reference material for future things.

[brtsh_by]

I’m sorry but I need a banana for scale idk how tall that human is

[oldi]

I wonder if we will make spaceships this big in the future.

[akali]

Child: Mommy why does that boat have a huge buldge?

Mommy: Look away sweetheart look away
