I knew the can opener on my swiss army knife would finally come in handy one day!

Joker came up with all those upsetting stories, but this is really how he got those scars.

And my axe!

No seriously. It took 80 years for someone to invent a can opener. Prior to that, cans had to be opened with knives, hammers, or axes.

Really put the cart ahead of the horse on that one Napoleon

A can opener is an understated sign of civility. In a time when a weapon or tool was so ubiquitous as to be the obvious answer to using a can, making a tool to do it is a sign of not having a blunt or sharp object available.

And just recently you can find a new type of can openers that literally disassemble the upper lid leaving no sharp edges!

A friend in college discovered you could open beer cans with a can opener so he drank open top Old Mils for an entire semester

I was amazed the day I discovered I could open beer bottles with a lighter lol

I can I can't? This is a local shop, for local people. We'll have no trouble here!

Knives really do solve everything.

I assume the label is applied upside down and the pull tab is on the other side. Cans are two pieces with the bottom and walls being one piece. Still cool.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

This is definitely the top of the can. The bottom doesn't have the same taper. There's also no way that thin flange around the rim is one shaped piece of metal. That's definitely the seam between the top of the can and the lid.

What I'm not gonna say is whether the photo is real or altered. I want to assume in good faith that it's real. It's not entirely far-fetched that an un-punched lid blank was crimped onto a can.

That can is on a steel table, so its either taken at the factory after it was pulled from the line or (less likely) at the distributor and found on a flat as it was being loaded. That table is scratched up and seem some wear and tear so my bet is the factory.

It looks legit but out of context.
