Ok so this is a real old-school miscellaneous topic and a really handy tip to share i think, especially where there's fuck all in the cupboards and your starving and the CAN OPENER is shit and doesn't work.

I hate opening cans. I once cut myself really bad on a can of beans while trying to use a knife cause my shit ass dollar store can opener wasn't working. The lids on those cans are no joke. Slit me pretty bad.

Me too!

Well actually, I wasn't even using a knife...just trying to cut it with the can opener blade thingy since the little wheel is what broke.

I almost passed out the cut was really really deep :/

Lefty as well. I like the big handled can openers with the wide dial. The other ones you have your hand curled backward in some unnatural position feeling mentally deficient ( because it looks that way ). I use a church key when gnomes make off the can opener.
