These things are easy to open, if you’re hurting yourself, you’re doing it wrong.

Six songs later in the album is a tune specifically about the evils of making people self-conscious about their body. Be more kind.
Thanks for compliment.

I have rather long and nimble fingers, but also my fingernails are really thin and soft so I keep them short (otherwise they will break at every opportunity) which is not a good combination to get a hold of can tabs.
I’m not a total pussy so I jam my buck teeth in there and pry it open with that.
Teeth? What you too good to slide the flat side of your dick under there and think of england like the rest of us?
Can opener every time. It sounds strange but it doesn’t leave a lip for things to get caught on when you empty the can
One attempt with fingers, then butter knife.
spoon seems too wide
I came to say the same because the spoon sounds like a bigger problem than using fingers.
Spoon has a built in fulcrum.
True, but the tip of a knife can also be a fulcrum
class 1 vs class 2 leverage
I use a butter knife attached to a 2x4. Then I just clamp the can in a bench vise and there we go!
you can use the spoon handle
Yo, this is what I do b
I most frequently encounter these when feeding the cat, so in that case I have a spoon out already.
OP needs to hit the gym or something. I’ve always pulled them with my hand and never had a single issue.
It is not about strength but about getting your finger beneath the tab.
Yeah I’m starting to think there is a bit of confusion bout the issue. Oh well.
I just slip my finger under it and pull it back. Easy.
I play the banjo and not the guitar, so I finger pick these open instead of shred.
Since OP uses spoons, you only need to find warshboard and jug players to round out your quartet!
I’m just going to leave this here… Best most mundane purchase I’ve ever made! Regular openers can eat a dick after using this type! https://youtu.be/i_mLxyIXpSY
Wait, is the spoon and the shredding before or after the can is opened?
I think I misunderstood your question earlier. It’s before the can is opened. The can in that picture has a tab that sits very firmly against the can lid. It’s hard to get a grip on it without using your fingernails and the tab also has little sharp bits so its very easy for the tab to cut the sensitive fleshy tissue under your fingernails as you pull the tab up. So I switch to using a spoon to jimmy it up before switching to using fingers to finish the job.
The finger shredding would happen as an result of opening the can and remain shredded after until healed so during and after. Dunno about the spoon.
I will use my fingers to prepare for the situation where you cannot use spoons
I often shape and paint my nails and these things chip polish like nothing, so I’ll use the teaspoon I have lying out from the last time I made tea, probably.
I use a table knife. If I had long nails I’m sure they would do the trick though; they aren’t that strong
Depends on the can, if I can press the top in to get the tab to pop up a little, then I will just to that. If that doesn’t work, then a spoon or knife it is.
