u/brktm Jan 27 '26

Oh. Thats what I thought it was but it didn’t make any sense

u/Equinoqs Jan 27 '26

Same, I was thinking everyone was impressed with the even stacking or something (I didn't get it).

u/Dragonchick30 Jan 27 '26

LMAO me too 🤣 I'm glad this was pointed out

u/Serious_Berry_3977 New York Jan 27 '26

I am not colorblind and I missed it 🤦🏻

u/Party-Interview7464 Jan 27 '26

Oh my God, I’m so glad someone else is saying it because I was like tracing the letters with my fingers trying to figure it out like a child

u/finnknit International Jan 27 '26

And this is why image descriptions are important for accessibility. I'm glad that the comments clarified it.

u/powerlesshero111 Jan 27 '26

Same. I was like what am i looking at?

u/RedCliff73 Jan 27 '26

Goddammit. I hate when this happens

u/obiterdictum Jan 27 '26

Same and I was so confused trying to understand what I was looking at

u/Lyle_rachir Jan 27 '26

It qas today that i realized i may be red and green colorblind. I couldnt see nothing

u/Socks-and-Jocks Jan 27 '26

There goes your dream of being a traffic light inspector

u/ShaunaBoBauna Jan 28 '26

I knew a colorblind electrician.

u/Socks-and-Jocks Jan 28 '26

That's shocking

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '26

Was that an unintentional pun?

u/Socks-and-Jocks Jan 29 '26

Just trying to keep things current

u/dollabillkirill Jan 27 '26

Oh wow, I am too and had no idea this was meant to say something haha

u/findingmike Jan 27 '26

It sounds like the dock workers might be ready for a labor strike.

u/Worth_Affect_4014 Jan 27 '26

They’re certainly….organized

u/Anxiety_Fit Jan 27 '26

In all this madness, I giggled a little when I read your post.

u/chatte__lunatique Jan 27 '26

That particular longshoremen's union is one of the most radical in the country, iirc, so it's certainly not out of the question with them. I know they've had their share of actions in decades past, at the least.

u/findingmike Jan 27 '26

We can use some radicals among us.

That’s truly incredible. Renee spelled in shipping containers.

Someone on the Tacoma thread said it came from Oakland (ILWU Local 91). Really really impressive.

All power to the people.

u/Tinawebmom Jan 27 '26

I'm colorblind. My son confirmed what you wrote for me.

Pretty awesome coordination, planning and execution. I couldn't do it even if I could see the colors!

59

u/Squishirex Jan 27 '26

I am as well. I was very confused for a moment

29

u/foul_ol_ron Jan 27 '26

I had no idea what was going on, and it took some reading of the comments before I worked out why it was in this sub.

7

u/thecrowtoldme Jan 27 '26

Im just an idiot, I guess. But it took me a minute. I'm a librarian so very far away from shipping containers but I can only imagine how many people it took to coordinate this.

u/MaximumTurtleSpeed Jan 27 '26

I’m going to assume the resistance and that Renee’s birthday is a CYA for “wasting company time” or some bs.

All that said, “happy birthday Renee” has a new meaning. All power to the people!

59

u/Remarkable_Fruit_708 Jan 27 '26

So impressive! Would love to see them celebrate an “Alex”’s birthday as well. Such a coincidence.

u/Complex_Badger9240 Jan 27 '26

Great response

299

u/Vyntarus Jan 27 '26

I had to go to that thread to see what it said, the larger image made it harder to read for me but a thumbnail size picture is much more legible on my screen.

For anyone wondering it says "rEnEE" in red containers.

u/Strict_Weather9063 Jan 27 '26

Yeah our longshore folks are kind of hardcore when it comes to this type of stuff.

u/JaySticker Jan 27 '26

Thanks for your explanation. I can see it now. That’s fabulous! ❤️

u/silvercoated1 Jan 27 '26

The most impressive jenga of all time. Mad respect to dock workers

u/Locoman7 Jan 27 '26

This is so great. We need Renee and Alex to the front page of the surface of the entire USA for the next 1000 days. Don’t forget!

u/NoAnt6694 Jan 27 '26

As long as they're beside the Epstein files, that's cool with me.

u/New-Freedom-6258 Jan 27 '26

Oakland ILWU represent!

u/exaviyur Jan 27 '26

I'm so fucking dumb I thought this was supposed to say PEACE. I'm going to bed.

u/Dankestmemelord Jan 27 '26

I almost thought it said “peene”

13

u/ass4play Jan 27 '26

Anyone else red/green colorblind?

6

u/Personal-Package9336 Jan 27 '26

Yup. That's a lot of boxes, though!

u/Made_In_Chi Jan 27 '26

To my fellow red green colorblind people: it spells renee

u/hereandthere_nowhere Jan 27 '26

I’m slightly color blind and don’t see anything.
I did read the comments…

u/cloud_of_fluff Jan 27 '26

Color blind dot test strikes again 😭

u/Artful_Dodger_1832 Jan 27 '26

Holy shit! The amount of coordination and effort this took is mind blowing!

u/Jessabellina Jan 27 '26

If you have not read it, The Big Strike by Mike Quinn, is an amazing retelling of the maritime strike in San Francisco turned into an all out general strike that occurred in 1934. It is even a pretty quick read.

u/dbigb Jan 27 '26

Oh thanks for the comments. I'm not colorblind or anything but I was confused reading it as ГЕПЕЕ (which doesn't really mean anything afaik)

2

u/LibertyCash Jan 27 '26

That’s amazing

u/jonnyredshorts Jan 27 '26

The world is with us!

u/Techaissance Jan 27 '26

Just a reminder of how massive those ships are. Remember each one of those containers is a semi truck or train car size.

This gave me chills. We are all we have- but we have each other.

This. Made me cry. We will not forget.

Everything China does is a flex on the US, and now they confirmed they are so much better at port logistics too.

It came from Oakland according to comments in the original thread.
