most people think opening a jar requires installing JRE. but this is actually false, as jars are simply zip files in disguise, so you can open them using a file archiver of your choice, such as 7zip or winrar
I learned this while trying to mess with Minecraft’s jar file
Why would you want to open that? I only want it to perform its magic.
so many things are just zip files wearing a fake moustache and glasses
Even simple gripper pads work pretty well.
I can’t compete with that!
I need to hit the gym.
Im using this
Im Agender AMAB, getting called a man feels like being stabbed with a fork
If you twist the lid with your left hand, body in right, you get a bit more leverage
Just wack the edge a couple times with the back of a butter knife and the lid will come right off
If it’s really bad (sometimes you just can’t get a good grip), you can break the seal by pushing the lid up or prying a bit, there’s tools that do just that, I’m totally guilty of leveraging it a bit with a crappy butter knife.
Or just puncture the lid. Makes the open-and-closed-again jar spoil much faster than without the hole, but I’d assume that bending it out of shape probably has the same effect.
will this work if im left handed? thanks.
I feel like I need to start going out onto street corners and yelling at people who walk by “YOU CAN SQUEEZE A BUTTERKNIFE BETWEEN THE LID AND THE GLASS AND INSTANTLY BREAK THE PRESSURE SEAL! IT WILL OPEN AS IF IT HAD ALREADY BEEN OPENED. YOU DONT NEED A SPECIALISED TOOL OR A GYM MEMBERSHIP!!”
Oh no that might imperceptibly alter the shape of the butterknife AND the lid and then we’re in a real situation, such as which there’s not a fucking question
The lids might get damaged and might not seal properly when reused. That’s why I always mark the ones which were pried open by stabbing the top of the lid. This way you can not mistake a potentially damaged lid for a good one
I know a few who are preoccupied with lids.
Imma post this for good measure
Their username checks out
You’re so right all my butterknives have been incapable of spreading butter for years now I shouldve known.
I have been secretly documenting butterknife crimes all this time! The last couple of minutes now since I began! But it’s fine.
Me currently checking my cutlery drawer to make sure you haven’t freed any of them from my enslavement
Use a large spoon instead, won’t bend.
I would not have understood this without reading the comments
Context is everything, which is why whoever cut out the usernames was a jackass
I know you’re here for the memes and we appreciate you but the context is this is literally a trans lemmy instance.
Sure, which is why most people understood, but whoever cut out usernames is still a jackass.
fkn based
I tried that with jar opening. Can’t do it anymore :(
If you can get the flat of a knife into the screw thread it’ll break the air seal and the lid will come off much more easily then.
Better person than I am. Opening the jar by shattering it in the sink would be my course.
Am I missing something? He opened the lid and placed it down? That’s feels good? What does that entail? Am I old?
I’m assuming they are a trans girl, so the mom saying she needs “a man’s help” was misgendering her. OP basically affirmed that because they are not a man they cannot help and gave back the jar unopened. Given the pettyness one can assume that the mom misgendering OP is a frequent occurrence.
I use like 10% of my strength by just pulling under a different angle. Maybe pulling the lid left/right first, then I only rotate from a certain angle. TL;DR: skill issue.
Giving Shaggy meme vibes
WorldsDumbestMan used 10% of his power to open every jar in the world
What a coincidence, my brother made me play that FNF Shaggy mod recently.
I barely held on, not as good as I used to be when I was younger.
kindly take this BS to reddit.
Don’t talk about yourself that way, you technically have value for your organs if nothing else
Run the lid under hot water. Works every time.
