I really hate the idea that we'll export all of this religious nonsense out of the planet.

That's the second one I've seen, although not in person.

Reply to TIL india is the biggest exporter of hairs in the world. India's hair exports account for 80% of the global market by pinkcheems
I've been to the Sri Venkateswara Swami Vaari Temple, where they apparently "harvest" 2,000lbs of hair a day. Interesting place. Lotta bald people walking around. They kept calling out to me to donate my hair, but they were laughing and just messing with me.

The frame of reference would be towards Mecca, would it not? As long as we're on the same planet as Mecca, the planet traveling wouldn't count.

I’m not sure but apparently not? They couldn’t be this stupid, could they? Or maybe some new machines make it easy to separate them at the recycling plant if they aren’t burned…

You're claiming that the absence of a belief is a belief? Seriously!?
Is abstinence a sex position?
Is amoral the same as moral?
Is bald a hair colour?
Is NOT collecting stamps a hobby?
> proof there is nothing
You're conflating nihilism with atheism.
Your inability to understand the definitions of the words you're using is not a valid argument against them.

Right? I thought so, too. They’re also explaining the change of the caps by printing things like “please keep me attached” on them

Nice idea. And good on coca cola for trying out a design first to test if it's a good design instead of just making one and that's what people are stuck with whether it's convenient or not.

> Now, though, the murders are not just over accordion music. Rival Famo groups also battle for control of the lucrative illegal gold mines in South Africa where many of their followers work.

Every little bit helps, even if people are already recycling bottles including caps, this will probably increase the recycled caps.
