@remaster
The number of times I accidentally spilt water over myself while drinking increased a lot thanks to this bs...
And some of the water bottles at work have an especially shitty cap that you cannot properly close again w/o ripping the cap off first.
And the scratches to lips and nose...
Thanks to all the idiots that threw their waste into the environment.
Well... At least this didn't break our Reverse Vending Machine software. Was seeing me adapting our bottle detection to this abomination for weeks on end already when those came out...

@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.

@mawhrin @keesjanb @remaster This is not about my use of the cap, it's a design problem.
The can industry found a solution without major flaws, and the plastic bottle industry didn't. Sending a 100 page manual with each bottle detailing nifty tricks isn't design, and neither is sharing the tricks with us on Mastodon.

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

The 500€ should feature "Roam like at home".@magezwitscher @remaster Nah, Schengen should be on the €500 - RLAH works, but Schengen, like the €500 note, is disappearing…

@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

@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.
-
@lritter Then the same thing could be said for less littering of caps in general. No, it's not reasonable to just dismiss it as chance.

@remaster yes, and add how it improved our lives: less litter, less wildlife hurt.

@photovince @remaster Was any of these technologies developed in the last 10 years? Ariane 5 debuted in 1996.

@magezwitscher @remaster Can I please get a full #Euro notes set with GDPR, AI-Act, Right to Repair, Investigation into right-wing partys and ... what should be the others? Maybe #Schrems2, #Schrems3inthemaking

@bill88t @Elektrotier @remaster The total amount of plastic caps found has gone down in Sweden though (62% fewer per square meter in 2025 compared to 2023).
The reason the west beaches of Sweden (Skagerrak, Kattegat and the Sound) are so littered with plastic caps is not fully known according to the report by "Håll Sverige Rent" (Keep Sweden Clean). They know that some people are very bothered with the caps, and that this might mean that they tear the caps off and throw them away.
@ahltorp @bill88t @Elektrotier @remaster
so the answer is assholes? I can't believe it -
