This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

This is not new. Here's the solution:
I never got the pushback. It makes so much sense and the mild inconvenience opening it is compensated by not having to put the cap down. Change scary I guess
It hangs in the way when you pour from the bottle and closing the lid is much harder
Skill issue
Yeah fuck people with degenerative nerve diseases.
Agreed! Fuck them 👍
I understand the sentiment but that's an extremely small subset of people that are inconvenienced, in exchange for a significant reduction in the plastic littering in rivers, seas and oceans.
You're not pulling the cap back away from the opening enough. They lock into place out of the way.
