We had one of those jar opening hand-tools. It broke. This one hasn’t failed yet.
Even simple gripper pads work pretty well.
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.
kindly take this BS to reddit.
Don’t talk about yourself that way, you technically have value for your organs if nothing else
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
Why would you want to open that? I only want it to perform its magic.
Not necessarily, it could be the old JAR format which was supposed to be a successor to ARJ.
I learned this while trying to mess with Minecraft’s jar file
“Let me call my transmasc friend then”
Im using this
Im Agender AMAB, getting called a man feels like being stabbed with a fork
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.
lmao that was a good one
Could be something like hand size as well, since it can be harder to grip large lids.
I need someone who can open this jar
if you wanna get really specific I guess 😄
I would not have understood this without reading the comments
Context is everything, which is why whoever cut out the usernames was a jackass
If you twist the lid with your left hand, body in right, you get a bit more leverage
Reading these comments, I can’t help but wonder. Am I the only one who runs stubborn lids under hot water?
I used to, but now I have an old twisty thing that just crushes the lid as a grip. Works on things from bigger than my palm down to drink bottle lids, and leaves a noticeable dent so you can tell when it’s been used.
will this work if im left handed? thanks.
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
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.
Smacking the bottom works better and you don’t need to get a knife out
Yep, pulling elbows apart muscles are stronger than pressing palms together muscles. 👍
I tried that with jar opening. Can’t do it anymore :(
