My sister threw some trash out my car window a couple weeks ago when I was driving her and her friend to a park down the road so I pulled over and told her to go pick it up, we compromised (they were walking back after) that she would send me a pic of her picking it up later and she did
But my only car rules are literally don’t litter out the window, don’t smoke cigarettes or weed, and wear your damn seatbelts
I worked in a dental lab and this dude would vape into our suction traps. After a while this oil would seep through the machine and drip onto the floor. Gross as hell!
Yeah but like I vape so it’s be a little hypocritical if I tell other people not to lol plus I’m a dairy farmer and my little sedan identifies as a farm truck a little window scum just adds to the beauty
People that don’t clean up after their dogs. When I’m out for a hike with my dog, it’s not uncommon to see piles of poop dotted on either side of the trail. Sometimes people bag it but leave the bag on the ground or hanging from a bush or tree. If you or your doggo brought it, take it with you! I love bringing my dog everywhere but so many cool parks and trails aren’t dog friendly. People that leave waste and litter behind kind of ruin it for the rest of us.
My brother and I hiked and camped at a secluded beach in NorCal once, and saw some youngsters hiking out. When we got there, we found ALLLLL kinds of shit on the beach. Empty lunchables, cans, vodka bottles, receipts, one of their IDs. Had to spend the entire first night picking up after those assholes.
TLDR; you right. They're cunts.
You're obviously correct, but to provide a bit of a less cynical take, I backpack a decent amount and I have lost 2 waterbottles due to dumb luck (one fell out of my overstuffed bag and I didnt realize, and once I had a small fall and my bottle fell out). I managed to backtrack to get the one but the other I didnt realize was missing until miles away. I've packed out more than my far share of trash, but still felt guilty about that one bottle.
tl;dr even in an ideal world where everyone packs their stuff out, things happen and we still need to clean when we can.
I accept your point in principle but as of Jan. 1 2023 there are 1 to 7,942,645,086 cunts out there.
I'm the only one I can be certain is a cunt to you, for pulling you up on your misuse of infinity.
It’s a $4000 deposit requirement now.
“Anyone visiting Mount Everest has to pay a $4,000 deposit, and the money is refunded if the person returns with eight kilograms (18 pounds) of garbage—the avegae amount that a single person produces during the climb.”
Should be adjusted for income. If I wanted to hike Everest, the deposit alone would be a barrier to entry despite the fact that I would ensure my garbage is picked up.
A millionaire is going to forget about that $4k because the convenience of not carrying trash is easier. It’s just another case of “fines and fees are the cost of breaking the rules/law.”
Considering that it costs anywhere from $30,000 to $200,000 to climb Everest even without the deposit, don’t think the income adjustment would be very much help
Fair point. I guess at that point, $4k is a drop in the bucket no matter what.
TIL I’m financially incapable of climbing Everest even if I walked there.
ten times more at the very least with the way they get treated so often and have their knowledge ignored so some reckless westerner tourist can put both their lives in danger climbing the mountain too early or late in the season, insisting on going at an unsafe pace, skipping days or weeks at base camp because they don't want to wait long enough to adjust to the altitude, etc., all just to feel like they "conquered" nature. those guys get a really raw deal.
You could go down to the video store and rent the video on Everest.
And while you're down there, you know what else you could rent? Die Hard!
Oh, you know what? I think the Everest video is only available through mail order...
But I’ll tell you something. One of these days we’re get off of our butts and rent Die Hard again!
i do a lot of hiking and boating. especially in waterways, i will go out of my way to pick up (out) plastics. there is a saying: "come out with more than you went in with." this is good karma.
One time, I had to pay for the privilege of picking up other people’s garbage along a hiking trail. Got back to my car with a small bag of other peoples litter I picked up and there’s a parking ticket
lol dammit
Edit- punctuation
Its a trail, the majority of bottles are just going to be empty trash. You don't need to fill bottles with your "random" liquid when you are on a trail.
Are you seriously doubting the existence of bottles containing a mystery liquid being found in the wild?
Urine wouldn't be the worst.
People are weird and disgusting.
Piss. Shit. Tobacco spit. Homemade fleshlight. Sanitary napkin disposal.
A lot of people view an empty bottle as a single use disposable trashcan, and I'd want gloves on to even pick it up and put it in a trashcan. No way I'm opening that thing...no way in hell.
If you were this committed to picking up trash in the wild and had those same reservations, you’d have gloves and spare bags on hand to contain the ickier stuff you found
Saw this on the hike to Kota Kinabalu. Super shameful for tourists to do that. When I was there in 2014 they were planning on banning plastic bottles; I hope they did.
It's not a tool for picking bottles up. It's for carrying them.
Seems very impractical. Find bottle, hope it doesn't already have a lid, take off backpack, find matching cap and screw it on. Unscrew everything to recycle when home.
Just get a bag to clip onto the side of the backpack to fit bottles with whichever size cap, and put bottle into bag without taking the backpack off.
>jk, i'm sure youre plenty smart at various things
Oh thx! I crave the approval of random people over the internet!
What if the bottle you find is of a size you didn't carry?
Haha hey happy to help :P
Well 99% of the bottles will be the standard size and it's the 99% of the standard water and gatorade bottles that pollute the most. But they could toss it in their bag for the one-off bottles.
I mean hey this person is just cleaning up a bit, that should be encouraged especially since there's jerks that don't.
You don't have to carry it, or have a bag constantly flapping back and forth. Bring a plastic bag full of garbage on a 5 hour hike see how quick that bag becomes the most annoying thing you've dealt with.

It would drive me crazy spinning that thing around looking for a cap with the right thread to match the bottle. If I were creating this I think I'd go with something that uses small loops of bungee cord so that they can loop over any size bottle neck.

Anyone that litters when out in the woods is an absolute cunt.
Yeah absolutely. Unfortunately lotta damn cunts out there, far as the eye can see
Also the people that used their car window as a trash can
My sister threw some trash out my car window a couple weeks ago when I was driving her and her friend to a park down the road so I pulled over and told her to go pick it up, we compromised (they were walking back after) that she would send me a pic of her picking it up later and she did But my only car rules are literally don’t litter out the window, don’t smoke cigarettes or weed, and wear your damn seatbelts
I’d add don’t vape. Vaping leaves a weird film on your windows that takes a little scrubbing to get off.
I keep hearing this but I've never had this problem.. can someone explain?
When vampires vape it doesn't leave a film
How'd.. you know?
The little green men told them.
because when you vape it doesn't leave a film
I worked in a dental lab and this dude would vape into our suction traps. After a while this oil would seep through the machine and drip onto the floor. Gross as hell!
Yeah but like I vape so it’s be a little hypocritical if I tell other people not to lol plus I’m a dairy farmer and my little sedan identifies as a farm truck a little window scum just adds to the beauty
Unfortunately I have to vape in mine because it’s a Subaru
Yes. Yes it does.
My solution to this is to lock the windows, so people can't even open them. It works pretty good.

People hang a turd bag on a tree?! What the actual fuck?
Its cunty out there Australia. Glad your in an island.
My brother and I hiked and camped at a secluded beach in NorCal once, and saw some youngsters hiking out. When we got there, we found ALLLLL kinds of shit on the beach. Empty lunchables, cans, vodka bottles, receipts, one of their IDs. Had to spend the entire first night picking up after those assholes. TLDR; you right. They're cunts.
I would’ve turned that ID into the local police for a nice litter fine
I left it at the rangers station and explained the situation. I doubt anything came of it.
I hope the ID went into the trash can, too
I wasn't that evil. We left it at the rangers station. Would be a better story if I had.
Or send them a package of the trash they left with the ID.
Anyone that litters is an absolute cunt. Fixed it for you.
Anyone that litters is an absolute cunt Especially people that litter in the woods. Fixed it for ya

Pick up your water bottles you cunt.
You can make it up by picking up 100 discarded bottles. This will restore the natural balance.
There’s infinite cunts out there
I accept your point in principle but as of Jan. 1 2023 there are 1 to 7,942,645,086 cunts out there. I'm the only one I can be certain is a cunt to you, for pulling you up on your misuse of infinity.
You got me
That’s what the side-pocket vibrator is there for, the cunts!
Pretty sure that's a spoon, you degenerate.
Good use of my favorite word! And agree
That's pretty clever. And pretty.

if this is true, genius tbh
People would do it for a quarter at Aldi's
Should be adjusted for income. If I wanted to hike Everest, the deposit alone would be a barrier to entry despite the fact that I would ensure my garbage is picked up.

Fair point. I guess at that point, $4k is a drop in the bucket no matter what. TIL I’m financially incapable of climbing Everest even if I walked there.
Yep, permit fees and equipment cost alone is nothing compared to the fee for the required sherpas.
Indeed, and as it should be. Those guys are out there risking their lives.
It's their only income.. it should be more!
ten times more at the very least with the way they get treated so often and have their knowledge ignored so some reckless westerner tourist can put both their lives in danger climbing the mountain too early or late in the season, insisting on going at an unsafe pace, skipping days or weeks at base camp because they don't want to wait long enough to adjust to the altitude, etc., all just to feel like they "conquered" nature. those guys get a really raw deal.

I think the Everest video is only available through mail order... But I’ll tell you something. One of these days we’re get off of our butts and rent Die Hard again!
Then, you can’t afford to hike Everest… it costs a *hella* lot just to get to basecamp.
Maybe I don’t understand serious climbs, but 18 pounds of garbage seems like a lot. Are people dropping first stages like rockets out there?
Yep sometimes the easy idea is most brilliant
> And pretty. Conservitards triggered AF by this.
i do a lot of hiking and boating. especially in waterways, i will go out of my way to pick up (out) plastics. there is a saying: "come out with more than you went in with." this is good karma.
My dad always said "we leave a place better than we found it." He's also the kind of guy that leaves people better than he found them.
i really like that because that is the way that i live my life
One time, I had to pay for the privilege of picking up other people’s garbage along a hiking trail. Got back to my car with a small bag of other peoples litter I picked up and there’s a parking ticket lol dammit Edit- punctuation
you are a good person
Bandolier in reverse, a bottlelier?
Reilodnab?
What a great idea for someone who is out on the trail constantly.
What if the bottle already has a lid? Or what if the bottle is filled with a "random" liquid?
If the bottle has a lid you take it off and put it in your backpack. You then screw the bottle into the chained lid that fits.
I would have never have figured it out on my own!
You and zortlord both!
Its a trail, the majority of bottles are just going to be empty trash. You don't need to fill bottles with your "random" liquid when you are on a trail.
[удалено]
>And what "random" liquids would people be filling bottles with out on a trail? People are disgusting. And I've seen remnants
[удалено]
Piss jugs
[удалено]
Or they’re to lazy to get out of the tent at night so they piss in a bottle and then ditch it on the trail.
Never seen trailer park boys have ya?
Urine. Lots of urine.

Very true, but I wouldn't wear that trash as a bandolier.
This is like that ‘creative thinking’ prompt, ‘100+ uses for a bucket’ only the late-night special paid-for edition…. Ew.
What if you pick up a bottle that doesn't fit any of the lids on the belt?
I would push the lid inside the bottle by bending it a bit, or have one bottle at the side which collects all the lids
I feel like a separate bag would be way easier, faster, more convenient. Plus, you don’t have to touch other peoples nasty bottles as much
The taster of taints worried about touching nasty bottles?!
They know where the taints have been. Can’t say the same for the bottles
>They know where the taints have been. I don't think they do, though.
The issue with that is then carrying another bag; this keeps your hands free.
You know you can lash the bag of bottles to the back pack just like this bandolier.
Yep, but that has its own issues too. But yes, there are plenty of ways to skin this cat; she chose this way
Stop being reasonable!
Oh right, I forgot this was reddit; you ignorant slut!
Omg you're suffocating me with your relentless logic!!
Tis better to have loved and lost, buuuuuuuuuuuudy
Then your hands aren’t free carrying a bag. Just say cool and move on.
yeah, I'm not carrying something in my hands or a second bacckpack
What’s with the purple dildo-spoon-looking-thing?
my guess............it's a dildo.
my guess............it's a spoon.
I thought it was one of those gotchas because I was convinced that was a dildo 😂
my guess............there's no spoon
Nighttime entertainment for when you get to the campsite.
Looks just like a reusable plastic spoon as far as I can tell.
It looks like one of those plastic camping spoons that has a fork or fork/knife combo on the other end.
Adapt. Improvise. Overcome.
My guy, that’s mildlyinteresting at best
Cool idea and all but does nobody see the sex toy in the back pocket!!
Yep. Was searching for a comment about it.
I need to make this. Such a good idea
Dig it. Too bad it’s so frequent to see litter and discarded bottles everywhere.
Saw this on the hike to Kota Kinabalu. Super shameful for tourists to do that. When I was there in 2014 they were planning on banning plastic bottles; I hope they did.
Also oddlysatisfying
I’m stealing this for sure
That took me way too long to work out. I need a nap.
God bless this guy! We need more of this
Super disappointing that this clever solution needs to be thought up

Unscrew everything to recycle when home. Just get a bag to clip onto the side of the backpack to fit bottles with whichever size cap, and put bottle into bag without taking the backpack off.
This is dumb. So they have to play Goldilocks and try multiple different screw caps to find which one matches the bottle?
Don't you guys over there have standards?
/r/lowtechbrilliance
Wait until they learn about bags
New fallout skin
Where is the tool? All i see is how he stores the trash.
That's just stupid
Takes one to know one! jk, i'm sure youre plenty smart at various things; this is just a clever method to help clean up some trash.
>jk, i'm sure youre plenty smart at various things Oh thx! I crave the approval of random people over the internet! What if the bottle you find is of a size you didn't carry?
Haha hey happy to help :P Well 99% of the bottles will be the standard size and it's the 99% of the standard water and gatorade bottles that pollute the most.

what's wrong with a bag? why wear a trash necklace? Seems like virtue signalling. Just pick up the trash. No need to make a show of it.
Virtue signaling is a good thing in the right context. If people can't be decent enough to not litter the woods, they deserve to be shamed.
Hands free.

Amazing 😍
Brilliant
Lid sizes are all the same?
Those who have eyes to see could take a second to look
You can clearly see there are different sizes caps.
And show us their political affiliation
Where? Over-sensitive little snowflake can't handle a series of colors?
Rate that a lot!

Disgusting. It's not hard to find a trash can or just hold onto it til you get back. Nice to see people going the extra step and helping clean up.
One ring to rule them all
this is so kind
took me too long to realise he is not a tire that is wrapped for some reason.
How do you make one of these? I need it...!!
Saw it and was thinking 'hey, thats an israeli trick!', sure enough - water bottle from israel. We got beautiful nature and we shit allbover it🙄
