Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Plastic bottles are always pressurised at the factory. They can hold shit load of weight when closed, otherwise they would explode during the packaging process.

I guess I was assuming the bottle wasn't sealed shut since we're talking about literal garbage that people throw on the ground.

That's literally the entire point of making the distinction between throwing away bottles with the cap and without. What did you think this was about?

If it's not sealed then it doesn't matter if the plastic is thinner by a few microns.
