Don’t get me wrong. I love me a nuanced conversation about the intersections of sustainability and accessibility. If you want to, we can have that.
But this is a shitpost community. Posts here aren’t really expected to conform to reality, let alone provide exhaustive coverage of all cases. This stupid shitpost also neglects to consider folks who need to have fluids introduced intravenously and the plastic waste created by single use saline bags, or the material/lifetime of the cup in which a straw is used. This is a dumb meme about the choices that some people make with the options that they have. It is not an indictment against the people to which those options may not be available.
i don’t think most people use straws because they have no other way of drinking lol
Some do, sure…
That’s the whole problem. You’re considering what most people do, but not a minority who already have extra burdens in their life.

You could have posted this exact message to other replies in this thread, but you choose this one. That’s rather telling.
I reckon that’s alright when making a meme about straws
