Yep I bonk and then I loosen the cap, crush as small as possible, then tighten cap.

How is this ingrained into our DNA? PET-bottles have existed for like 50 years, and according to my calculations that's not enough for a genetic mutation going worldwide.

its the microplastic inside of us

it's in our balls

Pee is stored in the microplastics

Facts

I used to work at a truck stop and let me confirm that a trucker will pee in micro plastics and macro plastics. And then pitch them into the tree line.

Love this!

It comes from when dad used to bonk us with something soft on the head. Once u have a child u bonk bonk ur child. It started in caveman times to toughen up the child by bonking with a water filled bladder.

I’ll bonk my head and then usually play drums with it on my knees if I’m sitting or my chest if I’m walking

I twist bottle to compress air. Then slightly untwist cap. BOOM

I feel personally attacked. But at least I know that spinning the crushed bottle by holding the bottom and cap before I throwing it away is of my own doing.

I do this too. I blame it on growing up with an older brother who always had his buddies over and let me hang out with them.

A compact bottle is our gift to the earth. 

Bro... I do that too. Started doing it last year. It saves so much space in the trash

A little warm-up to find the cap

Do you guys not have a system where you turn in your bottles for money? I'm realizing I just assumed this was done everywhere to reduce plastic waste.

Germans are losing their mind reading this 

I was thinking, 'is it only my bf who does this?'

The "Thoomp" noise is fun.

And how it bounces back with ease

No energy lost to surroundings

Yeah, more duble

Thingy make fun noise

Nope... I do it bottle cap end to see if it hurts and it does but I check every time.

Suddenly a patch was released to change the damage from the bottle.

Something oddly addictive about that little stinging pain lol

With a chiseled face like that you must've hit it all over.

Oh thank god, I’m not weird

Not mutually exclusive but I'm right there with ya pal

Someday I'll play like Grohl, until then bonkity bonk

I hate when they cut videos too short. Where’s the drum solo?

Yeah you also have to bounce it against the corner of a table with a 90 degree angle.

https://youtube.com/shorts/sZs8udbtiy4?feature=shared Got you covered.

Do you all live the same lives?

we do what guys do also GUYS I FOUND A STRAIGHT STICK IN MY YARD with NO KNOTS

I found a stick while taking my dog out and it was so cool. I kept dragging it with me everywhere but I broke it by mistake 🥲

NOOOOO

Damn I hope the stick is okay tho.

I now have two neat sticks that I placed outside my apartment so I can adventure with them again later

I went on a trial with my gf and her friend and found a cool as stick where one end was thinned up. Sharpened that thing on a rock had nice blade. The blade saved me as there was a small creek/rapid area I went in and the stick was thin enough to get in between the rocks to be used a nice cane while walking through the water. Slipped once but my trust stick saved me from falling. I had to leave the stick behind when we left but I hope someone else found it to be helpful in their travels.

Nah, the sticks are really badass.

longer than your arm? How fat? Green or dry wood?

dry wood; makes a nice sound when hit on concrete or a tree about 1.5 inch dia, and about 2 feet minor imperfections, but still straight and perfect

Holy fuck, he’s the chosen one

Somewhat

We're just guys being dudes

Lmaooooo why is this so accurate?

insane hit

hell, I do this.

As is customary


nah, altho i always throw the bottles to my "trash corner" in my room 💀 edit: y-you guys have a corner where you put all bottles and after it fills up then collect them... right? or am i weird? 💀

No 💀 We have a recycle bin 💀 Having a "corner" for your trash is nasty 💀 Skull emoji 💀

That's not what POV means. Unless the point of view is supposed to be a second party with a camera taking a video of one of more third parties, which, it turns out, is most videos and not the definition of First Person Point of View (POV).

We're halfway through 2024 and these children still haven't learned what POV means. Unreal.

You mean everyone doesn’t?

Nah I’m the flip-and-catch guy

Same but girl lol

It's real for me at least. It's so stupid I didn't care enough to ask if anyone else did this.

Chat, do you like to do the bouncy bottle on your head or a table?

Yes

Is there anything ELSE to do with it?

I try to twist the ever living shit out of it like a water bottle and shoot the cap off like a gun. (I've yet to get these to work like water bottles).

I chuck my bottle and see how many bounces I can get

I put the bottle between my legs, squeeze it hard and open the cap at once, it's almost lethal 😂

😂😂😂 i hate the fact that this is so accurate

FUCK….yea I do this often if I’m not driving.

I have been doing this for as long as I can remember and I have no plans of stopping.

Pee in it immediately after as to waste the empty space

Gotta do a couple bonks on your head or knee or you can’t throw it away.

Keep the bottle and pee in it later when the show gets good

Well, yeah...

I just realise I do it too XD

Every time.

34M, still do. All my male friends too 🤔 and my 10 y old nephew

Bro thats BIG talk. That is the start of thinking of the universe and why were here!!

50m I did this exact process today.

And?

One of the upsides of plastic, yep.

I'm a "blow into it to make something cavemen would consider to be 'music'" kind of guy.

What the fuck...? I thought this was just me.

Fuck

Ended way too early.

I feel seen.

Never waste a good tool

Can confirm

Then after you bounce it off your own head, bonk someone else with it. I'm not a guy though, my empty bottle behaviors may be invalid

Anyone else put two fingers on the side of the bottle and spin it around? :D

I feel seen

Why would I be watching this dude if I just finished my drink?

Yup

I feel attacked....

Yeah, it’s all true lol. I like to put the opening of the bottle between my teeth and then blow until it pops out. The thump is so satisfying. I’ll also put it between my teeth and swing the bottle around.

extremely real

Son of a... I wonder what else I do that everyone else does?

Is there a word for this phenomenon since it's so common with men?

🎯

1 million percent!!

That's not POV

then flipping it in the air and see how many complete flips you can do. Then you drop it. and you try again. then you get bored so you start drumming with it

...yes. lol

Surprisingly gender affirming post

Bruh too real

Nothing i love more than needlessly gendering things.

I do either this or use it as a whistle.

Not just males..

Start blowing on the top to make music

Wait, Yall didn't blow the bottle for no reason?

Im a girl who does that

Yes and I thought I was the only one who did this.

I’m not a dude, but I bonk my head a few times and drum on my legs or a nearby table for a bit because it sounds neat

Holy Im not the only one who does this? My next move is to throw that shit and get it to flip as many times as possible in the process.

I like to squish the bottle while my mouth is on the hole Its like im inhaling coke lol

Everything that you have done, someone else has already done. Every thought, someone else has thought. There are only so many actions and thoughts that are possible. These statements are not unique, you have thought these same thoughts about others thinking these same thoughts. How much of what we do and think are what we are when others do the same thing? Are we really unique individuals at all?

Goddammit

I…I…do that.

At an event yesterday. Little kid had a bottle about 1/4 full of water. He was tossing it up and trying to get it to land on its end. MUST. RESIST. JOINING. LITTLE. KID! Cause I’m 60 years old dammitall! Oh, but it was soooo tempting.

100% accurate

Also, I reshape the feet into little squares by chewing on them.

And you have to master the thumping too, otherwise you don’t get the perfect bounce velocity.. not too fast or limp wrist. Soft and yet firm is the trick$

Why do we do this

I personally prefer the knee bonk over the head bonk.

Absolutely

Yes. Only men do this. If a woman attempted this she would explode catastrophically.

That's how you know it was a tasty drink. It would be rude not to do it.

Bounce it of my knees haha

That or chew on the cap

I could literally predict what he was going to do just by imagining what I was going to do if I were him. TL;DR relatable

I definitely do this, but I bounce it on my knee not my forehead.

So I'm not the only person who does this lol.

Pov you don't use pov right

it's bouncy and feels nice on me head

Caveman Patrick level

Once did it hard enough I got a bruise. The sound it made was breathtaking.

I like to bonk my son with it first. 👍🏼

Big nate

This isn't POV. Jesus christ the internet is dumb

Yes.

I bonk my knee

I like when reddit makes me feel less abnormal

No way I thought I was the only one

Nailed the experience

I guess I'm now a male

Real ones learned this method from Big Nate

Yes, my friends do it constantly

100% me.

Gonna hazard a guess you think sticks are just sticks, right?

Not a POV... delete

I do a twirl move after I close the cap then hold it by my thumb and middle finger weirdly.

Can confirm. This is law.

Oh so this is a dude thing?! I feel validated for some reason.

I feel called out

Haaaave you considered that it‘s a stimming behavior and (paired with issues related to executive functioning) could be a sign that you have ADHD?

I confirm

Yes

Definitely!

yep. can confirm

Do I do this regularly? no. Have I done this? Definitely.

Women dont do this?

Soooooo, there’s a camera here and I gotta find it.

Yup

Every man has done this.

It's hereditary. Our ancestors did this back in caveman days after they finished off a coconut.

Yup. Maybe flip it in the air and catch it a few times. Crush it and blow air into it. Bonk on head or knee.

I thought I was the only one.

[удалено]

I always catch myself doing this. My girl used to make fun of me for it when we first moved in together

The more I look on this subreddit the more I realise I’m actually a dude lol I also bonk the bottle off the dogs butt (weirdly likes it…) and off my knees

Okay so I really don't like being called out like this

Yup

Tell you me you have ADHD without telling me..

Big Nate was right

Hey we don't make the rules, but they must be followed.

So ladies don't do this? You're missing out girls

Sometimes I launch the bottlecap from my knuckles in a frisbee like fashion against the ceiling before the THONK

Affirmative

I am mail

I always keep an empty bottle next to my next in case I need something to fidget with. This is how I fidget

hehehehheheh bonk :)

I normally launch it into the pile or piss in it

That’s the whole bit? At least wait until you have like 50% more

And place the indented bottom of the bottle on my cheek. Perfect fit.

On the knees also.

Works for girls too

Like damn, how is this a thing? Gotta do it with empty 2 litres too, the give/sound/bounce is nice 👌🏼

You really hit the bottle on the head with this one

WAITER! ONE ORIGINAL EXPERIENCE PLEASE 😂 😂 😂

Women don't do this???

Dont even knows what this means/never heard/seen this.

Haha I do that

Yes..🙌🏾

I don't chug bottles larger than a liter and use a glass instead but when I have a smaller plastic bottle head bonking is certain.

😹😹😹

Omg how is this universal

Yes. And if we're with someone they get a bonk on the head too
