Or you know... have an IQ higher than 20. Those things arent difficult or annoying if you... MOVE THEM OUT OF THE WAY! I cant be the inky one that laughs at people that moan about those things
Am I the only one who doesnt mind this at all? Like obviously youre not supposed to drink them with the cap aiming towards the sun, the have the cap on the left or right side of your mouth and you can drink from the bottle without the cap touching your face at all. At first I used to have the same stance that its annoying to get the cap off, but then I started thinking, why do I want the cap off? so I can hold it? well its quite nice not having to hold the cap actually. Cant drop it either, cant lose it. I dont mind this change, and I dont even care about environmental aspect of it, I just like that I dont have to hold a cap in my one hand and a bottle in my other to drink. Bigger caps however are fucking awfull since those do hit your face, like prime or cecemel etc. But small bottles, im, all for it
Or, you know, you turn it just a little bit so its not pushing straight up on your nose and drink from the bottle normally instead of being a little bitch about it?
Typical "aren't there bigger problems" like everyone on the planet should focus on only ONE thing and avoid the rest. Oh, and microplastics is a BIG problem actually, just check it out.
@@Llorx You're trying to point out a supposed fallacy in his comment, but actually, your comment is the one that is fallacious. It's simply not a problem that needs resources devoted to it at all. You are also committing the strawman fallacy by saying that he doesn't care about microplastics, except this law is completely pointless and unnecessary and there are far better ways to combat microplastics.
I dislike the EU as much as anyone, but maybe... just pour the liquid into a glass and drink from the glass like a civilized person, instead of drinking from the bottle. There's nothing wrong with these attached bottlecaps.
Pouring it into a glass A) dirties a glass which needs to be cleaned and B) reduces the fizziness of the drink and C) removes the option to re-cap the bottle and put in the fridge in case you don't want to drink it all.
@@rkan2 I guess so. My usual drinks are short ones, but when I break it on one side and the center, it hangs enough to not bother that much, but is a bit difficult to break it only on one side and the center without breaking the other side. Whatever. This is relatively new. In a dozen years they'll improve it I guess xD
Ngl these attached caps are amazing as someone with ADHD who has spent far too much of their life searching for caps that I’ve literally just put down somewhere
Besides the environmental aspects did you consider that it may be easier for people with limited mobility in their hands to have it attached? Or you can just... Turn the bottle by 90 degrees? Unless you have impressively sharp cheekbones that should solve the problem.
I have limited mobility and it actually makes things a lot more difficult. I struggle to put the cap back on due to the restraint of the attachment and often cannot completely shut it, making my drink spill in my bag
@@assntiddiessupreme2183 damn that genuinely sucks. My hands are pretty numb and shaky so while I don't struggle to force it down I do struggle with keeping the cap in my hand. I guess it really depends on the illness or disability. Sorry to hear that :(.
Because loose bottle caps create a lot of littering- same thing happened with the metal thingy that opens soda cans and such, since they were thrown on the ground, and since they're smaller they're less likely to be picked up and actually thrown in the trash
I was that smartass too, until I discovered some caps are looser than others and will change position as you move. Especially annoying when you want to pour a drink and the cap slides down, spilling everything. Nobody ever threw away bottle caps. They just created a problem. A much better solution would be a mandatory deposit on all plastic and beverage containers, as Germany has been doing for ages. This way there is an incentive to return them. The deposit is still too low though. Needs to be 1 €, so it hurts when you are wasteful, but doesn't cost you anything if you just return it.
@@Matt..S People actually threw away bottle caps. My sister went to a dirty beach to recover only bottle caps for some whatever thing I don't remember and got a nice amount. Maybe people doesn't throw them away, but they get loose over time? idk but she got a 2 liters bottle full of only-caps xD. Where are their respective bottles? Maybe recycled (or whatever) as they are bigger and more difficult to be lost while moving garbage around.
@@Llorx It makes no logical sense to throw away the cap with a full bottle though. You do that, sadly, with beer bottles, because you can't reattach them. Probably, if it is a beach, the bottle over time fills with water and debris, becomes heavier than the water and sinks, while the cap, corroded by salt water and sand, and the softener drawn out by the sun, remains floating and is washed ashore, although in Europe this is ultra rare. And honestly, if a respective city is too stupid to put out trash bins and empty them, it's on them and not just on the tourists. But the new system is atrocious and increases waste. It is now a compound material and they cannot be recycled. Most industries try to go away from compound materials, but some scientist [TM] that never left their big city loft, suddenly had the brilliant idea of unremovable caps and everyone clapped instead of using their brain. And I am actually very much in favour of most EU regulations
Ever considered that the laws and regulations on bottle caps might be in place to tackle important environmental issues facing our planet rather than just to inconvenience you? Rather than spread subtly europhobic propaganda perhaps you could put your good video making skills towards something that might be helpful and actually contribute to society…
In other bothersome news: I have to run the tap for a few seconds before the temperature evens at whatever value I adjusted it to. Sometimes I have to wait several seconds to get cold water. It's really annoying.
They aren't a right-wing party. Moving to the right would be moving towards the center. They've been more hawkish than Labour about racial politics, about sexual politics, and they've made the worst tax burden since the second world war. Tony Blair was not this far to the left. Politically, they need to try and compete with Reform for the right wing vote. The British left is oversaturated, they'll find no purchase there. If they keep moving leftward, they will become a third party.
Going right is suicide for the Tories. They have been trending right for a while. Even if you want to say it was just rhetoric that is how they are perceived. The only people who say Sunak or Johnson were centrists are the people on the far right. Let us not forget Truss who is the the darling of the far right, she was so unpopular the Tories would be lucky to be third Largest party. If we look at both recent major Tory wins Cameron/Johnson they presented themselves as centrist or at least said they had policies Labour leaning voters prefer. Now they lied but still. The problem for The Tories is there are not enough right wing votes to win on that alone but the right wing policies they champion are broadly unpopular so they lie. The Johnson coalition was built on a lie and the voting blocs it compromised were fundamentally incompatible. The south wanted tax cuts the north wanted people public investment and services. Johnson only got away with it because Corbyn was a terrible leader.
Very interesting points. It's interesting that Reform became the second party in quite a few northern seats despite having a tax cutting heavy manifesto (very different to Johnsons levelling up promises, which worked well against Corbyn alongside a brexit campaign, as you say)
@@Blukewhittaker I don’t think many people who voted Reform did so on the basis of Taxes. I think a significant number voted for them as a protest. The majority of their vote share I think comes from the anti-immigration and shall we say xenophobic wing of the Tory party, the wing that is actively toxic to the Tory brand for centrist and even centre right voters. I also think reform benefited a lot from the media who gave them outsized focus. I think reform are going to die off by the next election as the small boat crossings will likely have been dealt with by actually funding the civil service to process claims and consequently be less of an issue, and in general I think Labour will have gotten things back on track, though I doubt they will have fixed everything by then, there is simply too much to fix. But if things are felt to be improving voters will be turned away from the extremes.
I find it weird that conservatives think the party moved to the left to meet Blaire, rather than thinking blaire took Labour to the right to meet them. Thatcher herself boasted that her greatest legacy is moving labour to the right.
Wherever they move to, as a leftist I congratulate them for undermining and severe damaging the establishment in the UK for the last 40 years. I am sure that this didn't happen by purpose. It was the result of lack of genius combined with uncontrollable greedence. However, the damage they caused to the system since the late seventies, is so severe that I could join them. Continue the good job boys and girls and since you made us poor, at least entertain us with a proper leader. Boris Johnson for example was an extremely entertaining person. I hope that they will elect somebody with similar virtues.
Exactly, if they are going to ruin things at least give us someone who does so in an entertaining way. Best we got out of Sunak was "I'm a total coke addict" and "I didn't have Sky TV growing up."
Conservatives should stay right where they are. They haven't moved in 50 years why start now. What the left now calls center left is Marxism so, if they wouldn't mind moving a bit right we would appreciate it.
They should fix themselves in the centre so they appeal to as few people as possible and become an out of date ignored afterthought, much like the Gaullists in France.
