A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

why do people even use straws!! they're not necessary; even if we just ignore the waste factor, it still tastes way better, and if you use ice, it's colder ( my personal fav reason )
while we're at it, lids are only needed like half the time, when you are transporting the drink
plus Paper straws are disgusting!! i say abolish the straw!!
In some third world countries it's standard to use a straw with a can due to rodents urinating on cans and drying in that little lip area.
Stick to glass bottle sodas...
thank you for reminding me of my privilege in society and how silly my little issues are... not being facetious
Not to jump on you, but we have steel straws for a paralyzed relative. They can't drink without assistance unless they have a conveniently placed container with a straw; even then, something like a soda can is impossible for them to drink out of without a straw.
But yes, paper straws are garbage and plastic straws are generally unnecessary.
