I’ll go first: r/kitty. One of the hundred grillion cat subs back on Reddit, the culture in this one was you posted a cat picture, and the only word allowed in the title or in any comments or replies was “Kitty.”

Someone is using that subreddit for covert communications, I just know it. Either on the level of “if u/PM_me_your_nostrils posts an orange cat, we attack at dawn!” or there’s some steganography going on with the pictures, but that subreddit was too stupid to be as active as it was.

    Soda bottle caps for newer types of soda fit worse onto the bottles. They’re harder to re-thread on, for example, the new Oreo Coke than they are on the old Diet Coke.

    The reason that newer bottle designs are harder to thread is that they’re trying to make people drop the cap, leading to just giving up on re-capping.

    This is to reinforce the narrative that people lose their bottle caps.

    Which is to lend support for the drive to make caps attached to a little ring on the bottle, like in Europe.

      Or maybe it’s to keep you from sealing your drink and having it later. No cap means you finish it or dump it so you have to buy another.

        • It treats adults as children
        • It gets in the way
        • It’s a reduction of individual freedom, and complementarily, an expansion of government power

          If you are serious about your second point you deserve your first. The last one is just hilarious.

          Having bottles at all is government overreach. I want you to pour the drink into my cupped hand for me to lap it up. No Big Government is going to tell me I have to use a bottle like a goddamn baby!
