I know they're supposed to be good for the environment but... God I hate those caps.

It gets in the way anyway. And the amount of times I was pouring myself a drink and the cap snapped shut spilling shit everywhere is too damn high.

And when you try to screw it back on it just doesn't fit properly.

But anyway instead of endlessly complaining about it I just twist it off because I am not a baby.

Everybody has issues, what's yours?

[-] toofpic@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Turning the cap's hinge on a milk carton every time you open it is not really convenient (you can't turn the carton, it's not round as a bottle)

[-] wolfpack86@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

That photo panel is the bottle rotated 90 degrees.

People that can't use their brain should not be our baseline for making stuff.

[-] Jikiya@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Man have I got bad news for you. Almost everything uses idiots as the baseline for making stuff. They're so numerous. Probably because everyone's an idiot about something.

[-] cley_faye@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I know. It's still sad this is encouraged, but there is little incentive to move in the opposite direction. Better to have a lot of braindead customers I guess.

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Me still ripping those things completely off defeating thier purpose. Of course I try to drink can as much as possible. Except most stores refuse to stock anything but bottled it's frustrating.

This is why I'm glad I live in the US

Edit: this was mostly a joke. I think some of you took this personally

[-] clark@midwest.social 26 points 6 months ago

I’m happy such a trivial thing is what’s keeping you there.

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 6 months ago

Yes because if you had tethered bottle caps that would be your biggest issue.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 months ago

I can choose to have tethered bottle caps or untethered bottle caps. Can you say the same?

[-] ridethisbike@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Is THAT your litmus for freedom?! In some states women can't choose to have an abortion. And in all of the states people have to choose between going to the doctor or paying rent that month... But goddamnit, at least they don't have to deal with those pesky tethered bottle caps!

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 months ago

This was not an an attempt to start a huge debate. I'm just glad I don't have to deal with that here.

Its not that I think the US is better. For instance, I think we could use some privacy and consumer rights.

[-] ridethisbike@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

I'd rather deal with a poorly designed bottle cap than half the shit we have to deal with here in the US. There's a reason you're getting down voted. What you said is so narrow sighted that it's not even funny.

We have MUCH larger issues we have to deal with than a stupid bottle cap. "Glad I don't have to deal with that here" is showing a willingness to ignore everything else.

[-] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

it's easy.. instead of kicking off the bottle cap, just shoot it off!

[-] P1nkman@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

So can we. It's easy to pull it off. Gotta remember to find solutions, not problems.

[-] vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 6 months ago

i don't have to choose to sacrifice my life to survive!

[-] redisdead@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Yes

Even with my old ass body of a guy who barely exercises, I still have the strength to twist off the tiny retaining plastic bit.

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

As show in OPs video, yes. But I usually avoid plastic bottles.

[-] red@sopuli.xyz 11 points 6 months ago

On the other hand, I'm glad these are the issues we're combatting against, instead of a corrupt bipartisan government.
