Having been on holiday at a place with a beach recently and seeing how much plastic crap gets washed ashore and how much of that crap is bottle lids, I'm actually pretty okay with this change.

This is how the EU in fact decided for this measure.

[-] Tudsamfa@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Just evolve to have a more pronounced overbite and shorter nose like the rest of us.

[-] petersr@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

They came for the dogs first and now us

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago

The bottles are okay, but on the milk for example i take it off by just pulling on it.

[-] 10_0@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago

Was with to a guy that broke off the lid while talking about how its attached to help with recycling the plastic.

Another moron-filter. People complain about simple gestures that could potentially help humanity in a small way. We've always had morons. We seem to reach a critical mass, though. The real issue if overpopulation: more morons in general.

It's fine that those people exist, but they shouldn't be allowed to reproduce or teach.

Those caps are fine. Drinking from plastic bottles is stupid enough. Having them at all was a huge step back.

What a world.

Eugenics ... ftw?

I like this new feature very much - the lid no longer has to be held in the other hand or such but simply stays where it is needed.

People who are not able to perform most simple tasks like turning the lid a little sideways should be exempted from elections.

Yeah, turning it a bit to the side is no big deal.

However, I recently found out that this makes drinking things a little more viscous absolutely impossible without messing up your shit.

I drank a Kefir, which you normally shake before drinking. So there is a lot of it clinging to the inside of the cap for dear life - up until to that very moment you take a sip. Then, it decides that it had enough and spills on your clothes, face, shoes - whatever the fuck it can possibly get to.

So either you need a glass, let it sit until the cap is mostly empty or lick that cap and look like a complete degenerate.

I will be going to the store later to buy kefir and relive your experience so I can better judge its validity

Just take your shirt off while drinking.

[-] kwomp2@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Hold up. You can't hold the lid in the same hand you hold the bottle with and still feel eligible to vote?

I realized how good thing this was when I wanted to drink while carrying luggage. Converted me from a hater to a slightly less hater.

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 week ago

It just seems absolutely useless. I also wouldn't want my cheek to get a stray drop of soda on it. I imaging most people just tear it off.

This needs to be a galaxy brain meme now.

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

So okay the bottle ones like this are fine

It is these fuckers I have an issue with

I swear if I ever see the person who designed the new milk cap I will make them choke on a fucking tetrapak.

You're getting thousands for every cent you pay! What a deal!

[-] Auli@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 week ago

What’s the microplastics in drinking water though from the tap? I mean we know it isn’t going to be zero.

[-] synestia@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 week ago

Depends on where you live. But rest assured: we'll all have PFAS in our clits and plastic in our dicks by the time we go into the casket. There is no place on earth where PFAS aren't raining down from the skies.

[-] Hubi@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

I just rip that mfer off tbh

[-] lurch@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago

just put the whole thing in your mouth. it's not like you need any more practice

[-] neidu2@feddit.nl 9 points 1 week ago

If you are able to open the cap to begin with, you're capable of twisting it and tearing it off. It's not that hard. I never understood the "controversy" when these were introduced, and I'm convinced that the ones too inept to take it off completely are the same ones who caused the caps to end up in the wrong place to begin with.
