what i think when people struggle with the cap hitting their face
Pretty much. Whenever I see these type of posts I can only think of some cavemen failing to figure out the most simple contraption. Those caps are literally not a problem at all, assuming you're not a complete moron.
Its often the little things like this that make it clear for me who is indeed a moron.
Like oh, omg, that explains so much about that person.
That poor thing.
Now, I def need to not equate that with 'capabilities' of someone, even morons can brute-force achieve things I could never. They do it despite the handicap and I respect that.
Dont want to discuss problems or brainstorm when them but respect nonetheless (then and their work).
Most of us are in fact not what it's commonly considered neurotypical (I beehive they are a smol but just the most vocal group). And just like with folk on introverts/depressed/ADHD/autism/etc spectrum it's best to recognise, acknowledge, respect, and adapt to that (ie work and communicate a bit differently with each one of us, it doesn't take all that much, and the learning curve is just so unbelievably good at the start).

I think the people complaining about this stuff fall into several categories. One of them is depicted well by that GIF. A second group is just upset about environmental regulations existing. There's probably a third group out there with some kind of hypersensitivity for things touching their face. And maybe a fourth group who hates it when things change even if there are good reasons for it (can relate, was diagnosed as autistic).
I feel bad for the people with hypersensitivities but the rest should just suck it up already. Maybe some bamboo or metal straws can help these folks get used to the new bottles? They're available online for cheap.
It doesn't have to touch your face.
Then you should tell that to the several brands that leave their caps sticking forward partially no matter how much you bend them backwards. I don't care, but there are plenty of brands with much shittier bottle designs than the ones that stay out of your face like they should be designed to.
Silicone. Silicone is the perfect straw material. Bamboo I guess works for disposable ones but I've never used one. Definitely too short for 1.5l bottles though.
