And they also force people to buy plastic bottles? That is so mean.

Hahehahahehhahahahahhrha I don’t know what a thing is for
I know it's supposed to help with recycling, the issue is that it fails to address the core of the problem. Instead of actually doing something about plastic waste, they change the bottle design a little, someone probably makes a shitload of money off that, and everyone is happy, but in reality nothing of substance has actually been done. They offer us these pathetic compromises and we are stupid enough to be satisfied with them.
No it does very much so solve the problem it was meant to solve: to stop caps from becoming litter!
You must have a very funny life if you find things funny you don’t understand
What do you think happens to bottles after you throw them in the trash? They get shipped off to some landfill where they're buried and forgotten about, that's just littering with extra steps.
I am starting to think that you are very young, Lemmy is not supposed to be used by underage ppl! Yes yes yes, no one can stop you realistically but please consider why such a rule would be made! Not because Lemmy’s servers just cannot handle all the users…
Litter means rubbish in publics non-designated areas! If you want to use a word not for its conventional meaning, and if you wanted others to understand you for whatever reason, you start off with a definition

It's supposed to help with littering, not recycling. And I've never once seen a water bottle company advertise an attached lid as some sort of ground breaking benefit for the environment.
i definitely saw ads from e.g. coca cola for a while, but they were more like sponsored PSAs saying "hey, lids are going to be attached from now on! just flip it to the side and it'll stay there. neat, huh?"
That's not about companies doing something, it's just a new law
Cynicism, on the other hand - that's always good.
I rip those off out of spite
If you don't like the new caps then the company that made that bottle screwed up.
Exactly - some are perfectly fine. The cheap ones are terrible, crossthread too easily, get up in your face, dribble, or all of the above.
Sports style bottles solved the problem long before standard caps got in the game. They get disposed of together here either way, even if the cap gets yanked off for being stupid.
I don't understand how they end up separate in disposal in the first place. The whole point is that you can reseal the bottle and move/store it without leaking. If you're not actively using the bottle, it gets resealed to move or store. When you finish the bottle, you probably have the cap still in hand or very close by.
Tangentially, I'd love to see a Pfand type system here.
I just always rip them off.
