Rookie mistake. If the can owner turns the can over they'd find a P38 can opener to easily open and enjoy their beverage. /s

My wife says the accelerated "tink tink" is her favorite part of Steve's videos (though she likes other parts, too).

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

I like it when he does one decisive TINK, then puts the spoon down.

[–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Man, I dunno why I miss these? They're so unwieldy it made it fun to tame the can

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And I used to keep one of these in my wallet because there were times where I need it and didn't have anything available.

[–] oleorun@lemmy.fan 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Keeping it right next to the condom would not be great

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That would be stupid.

You wrap it in the condom.

[–] oleorun@lemmy.fan 2 points 1 week ago

Wearing BCGs would negate the need for a condom, if one was in the military and had need of a P38.

Well duh, it's a can't of DIET cola

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is what that weird thing on your multi-tool is for.

No, that's where the tiny little eyeglass screwdriver used to attach. I'd use the can opener.

Can of Nope.

A can piercer would open it just fine. (That's the pointy end of a bottle opener) They're also handy for cutting open taped-up cardboard boxes, less likely to cut the contents than a box cutter.

I remember the first time as a kid, that someone asked me to hand them the Church Key, and I was majorly confused. Why do you want a key to a church? We don't even go to church, why would we have a key? Do people who go to church all get their own key to the front door?

I had a lot of questions, and they didn't end when it was explained that a church key is a can opener...

"THEN WHY DO THEY CALL IT A CHURCH KEY? WHY DON'T THEY JUST CALL IT A CAN OPENER?"

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I often call it that too, although I think it would be difficult to break into a church using one.

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago

Well, if you have a key, you probably don't need to break in.

we slapped a lil magnet on ours and it lives on the fridge.

[–] SculptusPoe@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I bet a coke collector would pay like... ten bucks for that can.

[–] reddifuge@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Yeah, in my area the local bottler kept giving out sealed empty Pepsi cans.

People were pissed, but I sold 3 for $20 a pop on ebay.

Pun intended.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It's doing OP a favour. The "Diet" means nothing and $1 for $1 Coke is worse for your body than coke.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, $2 of Coke makes me feel good all day. I bet $2 of coke couldn't do that!

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 week ago

Your coke lasts all day? Damn, super jealous.

[–] oleorun@lemmy.fan 6 points 1 week ago

The pop-top is a subscription. For $1.99/mo you can get cans that have convenient openings.

[–] Una@europe.pub 5 points 1 week ago

I can't move it move it anymore Maurice

I can I can't

[–] maxxadrenaline@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

it's the weirdest times when the can tab breaks off

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Do they even make church keys these days?
