That's a good point, modern plastic caps on non-reusable bottles feel very different than back in the 80s, yeah.

Here in the EU it's the opposite, even before this being forced via attachment-strips, virtually all containers said "Please put the cap back on before recycling".

While it doesn't have specificially this, I was surprised how well the The long way to a small, angry planet-books explore alien cultures and concepts.

Reply to comment by Individual-Equal-230 in TIL about "The Pearl": An underground pornographic magazine issued monthly between 1879 and 1880. Its contents were three serial erotic tales simultaneously, devoted to sex in high society, incest, and flagellation. It was shut down by the British authorities for violating standards of obscenity. by DasherPack
It's always weird to me because it's difficult to know how to feel about it, but yeah. The publisher Hugh Hefner did some amazing work, even though as a boss and a person he apparently was an utter asshole from all I can find on it.

Yeah exactly. For the first few mutations we thought we could prevent it entirely (and I'm not sure but I think we can actually?), but that was quickly clear it won't work for later variants.
And yeah, you get vaccinated. I mean it's free, every little bit helps other people around you and frankly it's not a big deal. It's just a vaccine. People can be so weird about such mundane things.
