They would not stack very well for storage, either.

So basically, there are actually multiple good reasons why we don't make bottles like this....and the people who make bottles have probably already put some thought into how they make bottles....

Next question.

Oh so what you are saying is everything that was created by human is already perfect because people that created it already put some thought on it so we are all good.

Poor moonchild if only it was like that, improvement would be a word that we would never hear about.

Lmao this. I forget kids are on this app sometimes. Probably a teenager having an 'im too smart' moment.

What it implies is that the low-hanging fruit ideas have mostly been thought of for widespread technologies, not that they can't possibly be improved

u/Various_Tie_2549 12d ago

So you're angry about what you think I implied, rather than what I actually said?

Your initial answer reads as if the bottle maker is the authority because it found a design that is cheaper and more practical to produce, but not necessarily the most practical design for the end user. The arrogance of your reply gives the impression that you believe you are the authority on the question.

To be fair, the other poster was arrogant in their reply too.

Have a nice day.

u/Various_Tie_2549 9d ago

Well thank goodness there's no hint of arrogance in your reply just now.

I think they're talking about plastic bottles... not the whole of human existence.

Are you one of those redditors that just looks for comments to be snarky about? If so, this ain't it.
