Do people do that there often?

Also everything else you described being "gone" is something we still have going. Except that mailman thing. We never had that. The current mailmans we have nowadays are on this level https://youtube.com/watch?v=FhqG0X1rBuw

Luckily I'm a 2nd worlder and everyone around me thinks the world is getting worse every day in the last 70 years.
Also the plastic lids are still absolutely minimal solution for all the problems plastic is causing. And it won't go away. Still too cheap and anyone using anything else is falling behind for not "maximizing profits" with it. Cigarette buds bother me more than plastic caps and plastic straws tbh. But I cannot expect that to go away in the next 30 years can I.
