Conservatives back then: "If you need a straw to drink, you're a baby!"

Conservatives now: "If I can't have my plastic straw, I'll literally cry!"

[–] plyth@feddit.org 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

So the original conservatives were right and we lost our maturity by allowing society to 'progress'?

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

It's more of a contrarianism thing. They hate liberalism (by liberalism I mean not the modern moderate-conservatism/neoliberalism, but the foundation ideology of our democracies) more than anything, and they temporarily adjust their ideology to appear more counter-cultureish. See their sudden pro-pornography and pro-female objectification shift when the first gamergate happened, their anti-porn activism moved to more pseudo-secular orgs like NCOSE and Collective Shout. They started to shift back to anti-porn during the Vaush folder-reveal drama, and even faster after the second Trump victory.

I am also team, "It's a cup, use your mouth, drink from the cup". No use...no waste.

You shouldn't use paper straws because the glue holding it together contains carcinogens, which you then take into your body as you suck down your drink.

Admittedly, killing yourself is very green, but should probably be avoided.

It’s a cup, take off the lid and drink

I like the noodle ones! They stay strong for hours then you can just throw them away or crush them. Not sure if they’re actually noodles but they’re similar.

My friend keeps worrying they're not gluten free though. I just skip straws when we drink, I don't find straws really useful and also out of solidarity.

[–] uawarebrah@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Even if they weren’t, would there be enough transference to matter? Not sure

[–] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I don't think so, but I also don't know how they react to water vs booze 🤷

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 1 points 6 days ago

How do we feel about metal straws? I like the taste

[–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

I really like those lids where the front opens as you tip it, and closes when you put the cup on the table. No straw needed.
I wish they weren't plastic though, not seen a biodegradable version yet.

[–] Screamium@lemmy.world 49 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Here's the secret they don't want you to know: You don't need to use a straw at all. Forgo the lid and voila! You've got a cup!

Bamboo straws are nice, metal straws are the best, and they might look super nice.

[–] Minizarbi@jlai.lu 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Oh mais c'est une communauté francophone, les pailles en bambou c'est bien, les pailles en métal c'est le mieux, et y'en a des très classes !

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 7 points 1 week ago

Je n'étais pas sûr non plus que ce soit une communauté française...

: Quand j'étais petit, les adultes ne buvaient pas avec une paille, c'était que pour les enfants au restau ou à des anniversaires.

[–] Horsey@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I’ll seriously never understand the need for a sippy straw.

[–] bassad@jlai.lu 1 points 6 days ago

Me neither, but I learned that :

  • kids really like it, you can bubble and stuff,

  • it is useful when you drink from a can cause the border can be soiled (by rat piss or other tasty stuff, by the way if you drink from a can you should always wipe it with a cloth or clean with water before putting your mouth on it),

  • a guy I know who can't use his hands, so his only way to drink without help is with a straw

[–] HenryDorsett@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

The only, ONLY person I asked who had a rational reason for their straw usage was in a bid to protect his teeth from acids in soda and juices.

That being said, I can only look back to college years, but he had GREAT teeth.

I'm closer to 40 than 30, and well, I need a lot of dental work I can't afford.

Maybe he was on to something.

[–] ximtor@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I just skip soda alltogether..or any sugary drinks 95% of the time

Edit: why i actually wanted to comment - my teeth stil suck

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Genetics also play a lot when it's about dental health and longevity. Base-level dental health is negatively correlated to bone health for whatever reason, also if you have fragile nails you're more likely will experience bad teeth in your later life regardless of how much you brush, floss, etc.

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I have nails like wolverine but bad teeth. Blah.

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My response would be to reevaluate soda and juices.

That would have a much more profound impact on your oral health. Probably your overall health too.

[–] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (7 children)

I never had this issue with a paper straw.

There is no good reason why we don't have good straws from natural materials consumers wouldn't differentiate to plastic ones.

It's so little material development and so much lobbying & a bit of logistics issue.
