The new #euro notes should feature peak european innovation.

@ahltorp OMG didn't know that. The EU should takle the problem at the source: no single use plastic bottles and cups.

@magezwitscher @remaster On the long life cartons this works, but not on the fresh milk plastic bottles.

It could be a brand issue but in general I don’t think lids needed to be legislated.

@MattMoose @ahltorp @bill88t @Elektrotier @remaster The UK has ancient, crumbling drainage infrastructure already jammed with wet wipes. One would think you all overjoyed about the attached bottle caps making it all the way to the landfill.

@keesjanb @remaster fund drainage infrastructure maintenance you cowards

[justme@climatejustice.social]

@remaster looks like bottled beverages are going to get really expensive in the future. Why would you add extra subconscious consumerism signalling to bank notes?

@remaster
If made properly (folding back to a stable position) and not dangling around stupidly, I really like attached bottle caps. No more problems when opening a water bottle in a car and the cap falls into the void...

Don't know what exact problems other people have

@remaster I love it, it is handy. Never removed the cap.

@remaster

Most Europeans won’t get the punchline. As they are unable to close a plastic bottle without that help.

[happydisciple@mendeddrum.org]

@magezwitscher @remaster Nah, Schengen should be on the €500 - RLAH works, but Schengen, like the €500 note, is disappearing…

[photovince@mastodon.social]

@remaster This is probably meant as a joke, but honestly what isn’t there to like?

It’s simple and effective and the burden of implementation was put on the drink manufacturers.

That doesn’t negate the success in European collaboration at the other end of the spectrum. Airbus outsells Boeing almost 2:1, Ariane launches the JWSS at such precision it *doubles* the telescope’s life span. Galileo is a top-notch (if not the best) GNSS.

So I’ll take your bottle caps

[oleksify@mastodon.social]

@remaster What’s the problem with plastic bottle caps? Reasonable improvement. I don’t really get the logic behind alm the jokes. I mean, it’s understandable when some MAGA idiots do it, but this is the first time I saw it on Mastodon feed.

[titia@toot.community]

@ahltorp @lritter the fact that it is a localised phenomenon does seem to point at geographical causes (waste carried over from UK, Norway?). We know that sea currents can carry stuff an incredibly long way.

[titia@toot.community]

@ahltorp also, you might want to edit your earlier comment to read "some beaches" if, as you say, it's concentrated on the western beaches. Otherwise it is all too easy to share your comment out of context to make it seem like a universal phenomenon.
