    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.

    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

      Honestly there’s no reason why we need gender in our language anymore other than to describe someone’s appearance for the sake of recognition (say if someone goes missing or is wanted for a crime).

      Let’s normalize describing people by their attributes and qualities.

      “I need help from someone strong here.” That’s really what they needed.

      Assigning typical qualities to genders is just stupid.

        “I need help from someone strong here.” That’s really what they needed.

        Offtopic-ish, but a couple of years ago, I couldn’t open a jar, so it said “ugh, I’m going to need a tool for this”. Then my then-boyfriemd walks by, opens it and goes “you’re welcome”. I had to explain why I was laughing so hard.

        I still tease my now-husband with that every time I need a hand.

        It actually works better as there is more available strength in the arm to twist something counterclockwise with the left hand.

        I swear this is one of the factors of why left-handed people tend to gravitate toward mechanics or engineering. As you could take things apart a lot easier and therefore lower the threshold to learn how something was made

        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.

      Yep, pulling elbows apart muscles are stronger than pressing palms together muscles. 👍
