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.

Same in Sweden and I fucking hate it. Even the milk has this shit. You try and pour the milk and suddenly the thing flaps in front of the stream and milk gets everywhere.

I tear these fuckers off the bottle/carton/package every time, idgaf. I don't lose my caps in the ocean like some idiot. Not that hard to screw it back on.

The first versions were shit and did what you said. They've been improved and now lock back if you pull them back far enough.

Except when the lock fails suddenly and kicks back and sprays milk on all sides of the glass! I'm talking about a recent event. 😭

do they have "don't cry over spilt milk" in swedish?

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

We do, and I'm doing more cursing than crying. 🤬 It's not just about the milk lol. These things are just annoying in general.
