The new #euro notes should feature peak european innovation.

@kolya @bill88t @Elektrotier @remaster The answer was always assholes. Who else disposes of their bottle caps in nature in the first place, with or without attachment?

[derderwish@social.chaotikum.org]

@magezwitscher @remaster The 500 € notes have been discontinued.

[titia@toot.community]

@ahltorp the attached caps came into use in the spring and summer, and that has to be taken into account, of course. Were the bottle caps found on these beaches the attached sort, i.e. was it obvious that they had been torn off?

@Elektrotier @remaster
It did shape bottle design even outside the EU and reduces plastic pollution and the swallowing of bottle caps by animals. So it kind of is peak European invention by regulating the industry.

[adrianthomas@mastodon.social]

@remaster @gruber Anecdotal, but I didn’t spot a single bottle cap lying in the sand at the beach this summer, used to be a common sight. One report states 47% fewer caps found on beaches in the Netherlands.
Seems worth it?

@keesjanb @remaster
It does reduce the amount of plastic trash in the sea and the swallowing of bottle caps by animals. So, this slight inconvenience saves animal lives.

@magezwitscher @Stinkstiefel @remaster
now that's more like it!

[remaster@mastodon.social]

@photovince I would say it’s both a joke and serious, because it’s a good innovation for the environment, but at the same time it has a reputation of being annoying, literally in your eye, and that’s perhaps not something you brag about in this manner. 🤭

[ariarhythmic@ohai.social]

@remaster fuck no

[remaster@mastodon.social]

@oleksify From what I’ve heard, the regulation actually is working and helping the environment.
But it has a reputation of being annoying, literally ”in your eye”, although that depends on the manufacturers design.
Not perhaps the thing you brag with, so that’s a little funny.

@magezwitscher @remaster for what? Have you ever tried to buy something with a 100€ bill? It's 100% impossible. Most people already get a panic attack at 50€....

[sdjmchattie@hachyderm.io]

@Linza @MattMoose @ahltorp @bill88t @Elektrotier @remaster I’ve never separated a bottle cap from the bottle in all the years I’ve been alive without good reason. But every bottle I now drink from either stabs me in the face or drips some of the contents down my shirt. So yeah this was a pure lose-lose situation for me.

[pax0707@mastodon.social]

@remaster it’s annoying 101% of the time.

@remaster The 5€ banknote should feature straight cucumbers.
