Im Team water comes out of a pipe.
Pneumatic pipes with bottle delivery when?
The issue here is tap water quality in America. Also just the fact that people are dumb and buy more contaminated bottled water even in countries where the tap water quality is good. Like seriously guys, micro plastics are a thing and plastic bottles aren’t helping.
Everyone I know in the US either drinks tap water or, if they’re picky, just uses Brita or similar filter for tap water.
lol
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
How’d it go?
So, it took me embarrassingly many shopping trips to remember to buy kefir. But I finally did. For reference, I chose Andechser Bio Kefir. But to be honest I didn’t find the lid dripping. I shook before I opened and it was still fine. Repeated that a couple of times. Decided to leave some for the next day, maybe the consistency would change after opening. Still fine. Then I decided to let it warm to room temperature and still no dripping.
So unfortunately I cannot reproduce the scientific findings of @frosch.
It’s been 8 hours. Either they ded. Or are too ashamed and embarrassed after getting covered in their drink.
I’m just too ashamed to admit that I went to the store to buy kefir like 5 times and each time bought half of the supermarket’s inventory but not kefir.
I finally did though. Cannot confirm the dripping, see comment above.
Thanks for the update, glad you are not ded!
Just take your shirt off while drinking.
Hold up. You can’t hold the lid in the same hand you hold the bottle with and still feel eligible to vote?
Why hold the lid at all? It’s attached to the bottle.
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.
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.
Maybe people who can’t keep track of a bottle cap for the few seconds it takes to sip a little bit should be exempted from elections too?
Finally, someone who understands
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.
Hello, fellow Alpsko mleko enjoyer
Hello in lep pozdrav.
The top one is just horrible on juice or smoothies. You open it and it’s sprays droplets all around.
Have you tried opening the milk anywhere else but on a flat solid surface? It sprays everywhere
Team twist after opening fully to bring out the tether and hold it with a finger
This needs to be a galaxy brain meme now.
Heck yeah
Bottled water: Imagine drinking 240000 microplastic particles per bottle.
You’re getting thousands for every cent you pay! What a deal!
What’s the microplastics in drinking water though from the tap? I mean we know it isn’t going to be zero.
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.
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.
I just rip that mfer off tbh
just put the whole thing in your mouth. it’s not like you need any more practice
Average ID voters
Was with to a guy that broke off the lid while talking about how its attached to help with recycling the plastic.
The bottles are okay, but on the milk for example i take it off by just pulling on it.
Just evolve to have a more pronounced overbite and shorter nose like the rest of us.
They came for the dogs first and now us
Hold 0,00004km above mouth and pour it in like the fountains of Rome.
Rip that shit right off! Isn’t it necessary to separately dispose the cap and bottle anyway because they are different plastics?
No, you dont. Its both plastic so both go in plastics :')
Which is why a new law was passed to make the top not easily removable so both are disposed together and (depending on the design) reusedJust a reminder that recycling is a lie, and that pretty much anywhere in the world 90% of plastic just ends up in the landfill regardless of whether or not you properly sorted into recycling. The cost of sorting, processing, and then reusing the plastic is more expensive than simply using new plastic so it’s not profitable. And the vast majority of cardboard is on usable due to the different types of dyes used to put logos colors Etc on it or is otherwise contaminated on its way to the recycling facility
Pretty much the only materials actually for real reused and recycled is glass and metals like aluminum and steel
Germany has a recycling rate for PET bottles of 94.8%, 45% for general plastic packaging. It’s profitable because if you sell stuff in plastic packaging you’re forced to pay for the recycling. As a consumer you don’t pay for having those yellow bags and bins collected, which means that if you separate all the packaging and put it in there you get to pay less for your other bin. As a producer, if you’re switching your packaging to something that’s easier to recycle, you pay less into the scheme and either lower prices to sell more product or pocket the difference. Our Greens love to solve shit by strategically shifting around market incentives: When the producer has to pay the bill the market failure suddenly vanishes.
Glass OTOH is a problem because even small contaminations can mess up a whole batch, and the process is energy-intensive in the first place. Crushed glass makes very good aggregate for concrete, though.
As to cardboard: Sort what you can, the rest goes into industrial composting. Left-over plastic gets burned, which actually isn’t that bad – the issue isn’t the burning (they’ve got proper filters and everything) but that the plastic isn’t sourced from renewable sources. Certainly more sensible even in its current state than burning oil while putting the plastic in a landfill.
Mind sharing a source and saying what country youre talking about? Recycling is most certainly not a lie. Yes, some countries dont give a fuck and send it all to a landfill, but others dont.
There is also the fact that there are more and more battery processing plants too that separate the materials for reuse. Plastics can be remelted and reused after they are grinded and separated. And cardboard, afaik, can just be reused. The ink on the cardboard is just merged into it. There is a reason recycled cardboard has a distinct colour and textureSure here are a few videos about specifically plastic. The us is the focus in most of them as it generates the most plastic overall, however the key issues mentioned affect the entire industry worldwide (which most of them mention) if you dig around other recycling studies you find lots of cardboard is contaminated before ever reaching the recycling center. I wasn’t clear enough about the logos and stuff, it’s not really the ink but the plastic based wax layer over it to keep it looking nice. The boxes that squeek when you let em slide out your hands
Thanks, i will look into these videos!
As for the cardboard, this is why cardboard used for pizza is not allowed to be put in cardboard bin because of the fats. But overal, thats not that much cardboard wasted ( at least in my household ).
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?
