A comic strip in Polish: child asking mother "what happened to dad?" She answers: he can't handle a bottle cap and he's pictured drinking from a bottle with the attached cap awkwardly positioned up his nose. The next frame portrays the man with a drinking straw pushed deep into his nose ("like he couldn't handle the paper straws before") and a fork in his eye ("and forks before")

@kravietz are these metaphors? "can't handle a bottle [cap]" sounds like someone has a problem with alcohol, over eating for "can't handle the fork", but can't come up with anything for paper straw. am I overthinking the joke?

@AncientGood I should probably explain the context: the new alt-right shitstorm in Poland is about EU regulation that requires that caps are not separated from plastic bottles because this helps in recycling. So people started posting pictures such as the one below, which was supposed to demonstrate how horrible inconvenience that is. The other frame refers to a similar shitstorm caused when EU introduced paper straws, and the last one is just ironic :)

@kravietz @AncientGood That would seem to be a different kind of plastic, wouldn't it?
