Yup, new laws for "enviromental reasons". It is the most horrible idea ever. It doesnt stay open, its in the way, and it doesnt even prevent you from just ripping it off and throwing away the lid. Another law just so the higer-ups can pat themselves on the back and say they did something for the planet.
People are so bothered by these caps and I don't get it. I wish people had gone as hard against chat control as they're going against these fucking caps.
For real. I love not looking for the bottle cap on the ground. I just bend the cap a bit further and it doesn't get in my way.
The least inconvenient thing imaginable and yet has caused so much outrage!
But that would require them to think.
Bend it back further. When it gets to 180 degrees, it latches into place and doesn't spring back.
But then what do I direct my rage towards
People walking by in the street. It's a great way to meet new people.
Sometimes. Some better, some worse. Shitty all over.
It makes perfect sense in my opinion and rarely presented itself as inconvenient.
And it's also an issue for the disabled (motor abilities). It's easy making a mess all over with these fucking caps.
Silliest take ever. As someone where these aren't, they're pretty awesome and wish we had them.
I think you're just stupid
Plus the caps are from a different kinda plastic, so they have to be recycled separately.
The point is that the cap is now recyclable, which is why it’s attached.
Plastic recycling is crap though, even it can be recycled, there's only a number of times that it can be done. There needs to be a move toward aluminum, glass, and compostable bottles.
That's what I keep saying, if they really wanted to reduce waste they would just put everything in glass/aluminium and ideally just put things into your own glass jars. There's very few places that do that sadly.
Yes. Weirdos are extremely upset by this for some reason.
Remember when can ring-pulls detached?
Ah yes there were so many sliced-up bare feet in the beach sand before 1982.
You could use the tab to propel the ring. It was great.
Wait, this stupid idea isn’t the standard everywhere?
The stupid idea being the attached lid I mean.
The US, at least. Doesn't do this.
