Online, the slow-moving crisis was quickly turned into a learning experience: memes 101.

Original Message
A giant container ship has run aground in the Suez canal, causing a traffic jam of vessels at either end of the vital international trade artery.
The 220,000-tonne, 400m-long Ever Given became stuck in the canal on Tuesday and several attempts to refloat it failed.
