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

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.

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 19 hours ago

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

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 19 hours ago (1 children)

Keeping it right next to the condom would not be great

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

That would be stupid.

You wrap it in the condom.

[–] oleorun@lemmy.fan 2 points 5 hours ago

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

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

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

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 day ago

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

[–] RaoulDuke@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago

Can of Nope.

I can I can't

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

Do they even make church keys these days?

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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 day 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 day ago

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

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

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

[–] SculptusPoe@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] reddifuge@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours 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.

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

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

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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 22 hours 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 21 hours ago

Your coke lasts all day? Damn, super jealous.

I can't move it move it anymore Maurice
