I don’t know how, but my mom could open jars better than me when I was a foot taller and much stronger than her. She’d make me move furniture around, and I’d hand her pickle jars.
That’s actually really cute.

Or just stick a teaspoons other end under the lid, prefferably where the thread begins, lever it up a little and it’ll pop.
Yep, I use the end of a butter knife. You’re fighting the pressure that built up rather than how tight the lid is screwed.
Engineer solution. The rest are hearsay and folk tales
I usually bang the edge of the lid with some blunt flatware. Dull side of a butter knife is my preferred flatware.
Helped my manager open something a few weeks ago by using some random piece of office equipment. She was very happy to pickled jalapenos as a side.

Then again, calling them noob is pretty much always an option, as is telling them I’ll bang their mum when they lose a game.

so annoying when peter dinklage asks me to explain basic things, the guy’s rich as fuck surely he can buy his own house and an encyclopedia?
I just know I’m going to be minding my own business and my to-be teenaged son will suddenly ask me what a VCR is.
That’s the thing with teenagers. Some days, mostly at random, they simply wake up and choose violence.
