Worse is if you do accidentally break it, the little sticks that used to hold it on are sharp and poke you every time you screw the lid back on.

Are you seriously complaining about the fucking lid being attached to your plastic bottle you childish shithead? Grow up

I just tear them of, simple solution.

The newer ones are better, as the lid is designed to rest at 180° rather than 90°

You can't be trusted not to litter the cap.

They don’t care about acceptable. Only about creating ever more stupid rules to justify their own existence and virtue signaling! 🫠

Oh, what might have been. 🤣 https://image.nostr.build/4e0b924176ab493c1f1303066bc1ab7b228995c49ae45855997361a5e0452033.gif

classic statist vs. free market example.

It's for the greater good!

I hate that plastic bags of food now have zip locks on them them and are so shitty that they don't even work. Who tf comes up with these dumb ideas? 🤦‍♂️

I see people naming this cap “Thunberg”, in reference to Greta Thunberg. That after all the mimimi. The only thing that she accomplished was the EU to came out with this stupid bottle cap.

Dude, the first time I saw that bs here in Eastern Europe I about lost my shit trying to tear that damn thing off. Hate those damn things. Like seriously, we’re adults. Keep track of the cap, if you can’t, get a damn sippy cup.

The bacteria. The bacteria’s input weighed heavily in the UX design. Very powerful lobby group.

Yeah, I live here. It sucks. 😕

I think only bureaucrats was liking it. Many engineers and ux people were opposing it but it was low hanging fruit from a list of stupid stuff

Annoying as heck, but just tear them off!

Separate Industry from the state. STOP REGULATIONS!

Dumbest move ever. I was there last year and saw that, and I thought the same thing... so the claim is that they don't want you to lose the bottle cap in the ocean and wreck the planet. 🤦‍♂️

Who still uses plastic bottles anyway XD

Humiliation ritual

Our beloved and voted rulers 😓 National hobby here in Spain: break the Damm thing and drink safely 😅

water is ok, no stains on your closes. try yoghurt or juice.

Wtf

IQ testing https://m.primal.net/LHBv.png

Kinda useful, so you don’t need to hold the cap while drinking 🤷‍♂️

a green left bureaucrat.

Definitely the European State

like all things EU - unelected career bureaucrats

just wait until you can flip the cap onto the other side

guess... some bureaucrat in the European Union administration 😟 Yes, they are paid. No, they do not pay taxes (most of them... maybe all of them, who knows...)

A patent owner has made a lot of money with it
