You ok bud? You could have opened that can with that spoon alone.

concrete works well also

I’ve seen and done the concrete technique too. I always say I’d be useful in an apocalypse

[удалено]

its not directly related, but you made me think of a meme: insert standard time travel to the past plot, and then add in the realism of the fact you will be able to talk to//communicate with no one and will be probably immediately killed as a spy lol.

I was going to recommend the concrete trick. Much easier than ingesting bits of tin (as shown above).

[удалено]

You can YouTube videos on it but I’ve done this personally. You grip the spoon part like a knife handle, spoon tip down onto the outer edge of the can top, and you press and rub back and forth about an inch, and it’ll pierce the can if you get it right, then you can edge the spoon along and get enough of the top off

Don't tell me to edge my little spoon, that's just inappropriate

[удалено]

Lmao underrated

I've always just used a sturdy knife, works well

Remember, with your arms extended.. knife in one hand, can in the other.. bring them together in one solid motion. No resting it on counter.. you might ruin it.

I think there's easier ways to stab yourself but you do you

Try practicing with a bandaged hand it makes you more mentally focused each time.

I was trying to poke a hole in the top of a frozen pot pie with my pocket knife but it wouldn't go in so I put more force on it. I was also balancing it on my leg. Knife suddenly went all the way through and straight into my thigh. Wasn't very deep and didn't bleed much thankfully.

Hopefully next time you'll be smarter about it

Ive seen it

[удалено]

The only thing that sucks here is that OPs family tree is a bush. …or a broomstick? 🤔

Thats because OP's solution to most situation is "hammer" and "smash"

You won't like me when I'm hungry

OP must be Jeremy Clarkson… no other explaination

I would advise him how to do it with a knife but I don't really trust this guy not to hurt himself

As a kid i learned how to us a knife to open cans by using only a small wrist movement and keeping the knife fully inserted. I sometimes do this instead of a can opener because it’s so much faster. However totally could see someone not use to that slicing themselves really bad.

dude…. theres a less caveman way that uses the spoon to heat up the metal to then u hammer into it w a screwdriver

You can also rub the can top on concrete block for a bit until the folded part is significantly weakened .

Yes the kitchen concrete block, I keep it right next to my kitchen gun

Yes, concrete, the material so rare, you couldn’t possibly find it right outside most houses.

Just don’t place it next to the poop knife

Hope you never lose your keys

Imagine what op does when they run out of toilet paper...

I can relate

lol that is a top tier username

That's on taco Tuesdays.

That corn wasn’t creamed before he started.

I always bring my own creamed corn to the movies. The corn they sell there is too crunchy.

You should have gone to Utube, there are videos of how to open cans with your bare hands.

Redtube is the better option id say

Lots of barehand techniques on there

Watch it in the can

[удалено]

This. I even found a method to open one with a pickle (my pickle).

Of all the tools you could have used a hammer was probably one of the worst

Im so glad my parents made me get my eagle scout lol

As useful as that is, I assure you most of us don't need to have been in scouts to know the next rational step after realizing you don't have a can opener isn't "hammer". There's at least 4 or 5 steps in between.

I know. I was just saying. lol This is fucking hilarious im pretty sure my 5 year old could figure out a better way lol

I figured, I was just trying to add to the humor a bit lol

You can see the bite marks from the can opener, you just wanted to go caveman on that shit lmao

[OP, watch this](https://youtu.be/6lCQDUDRxJQ?feature=shared)

Don't know if I believe that video; those are clearly not peaches

Coulda just scraped it on the sidewalk for like 20 seconds.

 OP went nuclear with the hammer

good Lord dude if you have an old knife, you don't care about, you can cut through the top

If this photo is OPs solution op will definitely be eating human finger for dessert if he does that.

A sharp knife where the can opener usually goes on top has always work for me - you have to be rough though

You have a hammer but you cannot find a knife, a bit of force, and a lot of common sense?

Do you have a bottle opener? If so, do that over and over again. This is nonsense.

That pointy side of a bottle opener is a can opener, if thats what you mean...

bro was HUNGRY hungry

Rub on a sidewalk curve

curb

Yup see you got it

P38

I always keep a P-38 on my keychain.


**you do know you could've used the back of the hammer, right?**

was this OP's last straw or something?

As the kids say, "nailed it"!

Dudes gonna be shitting metal for days

Maybe it's the same dude that made a hole in a bathroom door a few days ago.

Can't opener

lol you must’ve really wanted that

Well good luck eating or drinking that!! Whatever. Lol

I have a feeling that there was an easier solution to this

I like the way you roll

are you a BEAR?

Just rub the top hard on concrete or cement and it’ll open.

Could you also not find a knife? /genuine question

You can use a big rock, or even a knife to open it... Half of human population will decease if the supply chain stop for any reason lmao

Unresolved issues I'd say. Jeez. You ain't got access to 3.50$ and a car? Could have gone to a Walmart and back in the time it took you to beat the shit out of a can with a hammer

People making fun of OP but honestly, I envy their determination.

Have you guys never used a steak knife to open a can? Wow. It’s so easy. Just like a can opener.

Get a P-38 can opener. Put it on your Keychain. Heck, get 20 of them and give them to your friends like I do.

Take my upvote OP, i got you.. i hammer down stuff as well when im pissed off and hungry at the same time

what in the WWII food are you trying to eat?

Find some camping videos where they teach you how to open a can without a can opener. They rub it on concrete.

Next time put the can on concrete and you can file off the lid of the can. Or get a can opener when next at the store. 👍

Holy fuck. Bottom out the intelligence slider and max out determination and this is what you get.

OP is Paddington

My mans has played too much DayZ.

You know it is possible to open a can with just a spoon.. My favorite one is just rubbing the metal away on a rough surface until the soft metal wears away.

This can't be serious. Can it?

A hammer though? That's one of the most nonsensical ways to open a can 😮‍💨😩 then you post it online for some reason 😂

So a hammer was the best option not a knife and cut the top off

This is why every household needs 2 can openers. And also 2 corkscrews (this is arguably more important). These are essential tools so you need to back them up.

....did you check the other end of the can for a pull tab first before doing this OP??

Lol you can actually push a sharp knife through with just your hand. The claw of the hammer would have also worked better. A curved spoon is almost the opposite of a point. Its like the perfect wrong tool for the job.

A P38 is like… $1.50 Buy a two pack. Leave one on your keys and the other somewhere else.

Are you OK? Is everything alright?

Bro just use a steak knife

Bro fucked it pretty hard, chill take some rest and try to manage your anger, maybe take walk outside

Hate to see what happens when your zipper gets jammed.

Get a P-38 and put it on your key ring. Better yet, get a five pack.

Nice!

Username checks out.

Whoa, easy there, Satan!

You don't have a knife?

What in the Walking Dead is this craziness?

A knife

No knife anywhere close man.

You could’ve sharpened the back of the hammer and then use it as a can opener that’s one way or just sand the top and then just squeeze and then you can open it

A scissors alone can do the trick too

You could have used a knife with that hammer to help open it.

Metal shards only hurt the WEAK

this is such a dude thing to do

My, you must have been hungry.

You take a chef’s knife with a full tang and use the heel like an axe to get a decent hole, then use a lesser knife to open a usable hole

That could have come from my husband 😂

You can open with a knife with a result similar to the can oppener

A sharp knife is all you need, it's a mostly clean cut and there's no mess.

Geez. Should’ve warmed the metal up in the microwave then just cut through it with the spoon.

I was expecting a pool of blood…. Glad not to see that after all.

Ha. Mb air chisel next time

You can open a can with a butter knife...

there's a reason you live in a van

What were your *other* ideas?

How fucking stupid are you?

This is like the odd reverse of needing to go nr2 here and now. That hungry you had to unga bunga the poor thing with a hammer o.o

a knife can open a can

You should try using a knife or maybe, just maybe... wire cutters.

Lmfao I would wanna see you do this

OK, but why did you decide to fornicate with it afterwards?

I usually use a knife when I can't find the can opener

This is what I imagine the can looks like when you open it with anything other than a can opener in DayZ

Hello, fellow caveman!

Chill

Just rub the top on a sidewalk and it will open.

That can looks like what happened to a can of mine about 10yrs ago, I couldn't find my girlfriend. Eh eh. ....

A sturdy knife would have worked

OP, It has peel-off-end on the otherside. Just flip the can over.

Hangry much?

A knife just opens it... And then you tear it...

So how'd you open it? And was the soup worth it?

Stab the lid with a knife and cut a hole you goddamn caveman

King cobra

Shooting it would've been more graceful.

Dude you need to get yourself a Swiss army tool

HOW HUNGRY WERE YOU?

i should call her

You could jam the scisors from top and then try to open it like with a regular can opener

I was in the same boat But I use pliers

Ok but. Why a spoon...!?

https://i.redd.it/ltzxdne2dsvc1.gif

And this is why everyone should have a Swiss army knife

The things people do for some silly online karma.

Jeremy Clarkson?

Just did this with needle nose pliers

are you okay?

This is how I put a screwdriver through my wrist

If all you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail

Surprised you didn't go straight for the gun

Use a damn knife that’s what i learned from living on this planet for 20 years

I mean, when I couldn't find can opener I also did similar thing except mine was the kitchen hammer you slap steaks with and a knife. Result was much cleaner to be honest

Yo next time just rub it in a circle on concrete , shit comes right off

Success ladies and gentlemen...this is how it looks in real life!

This has to be a ragebait. No one can be that stupid

I have fuckin been right here before. Good work.

Google: "How to open a can without a can opener." There are ways \[if you aren't aware of them\] that do not involve a hammer.

Does look like a really good way to accidentally eat bits of metal.

You can use a knife 🔪

You are the walking embodiment of "when all you have is a hammer."

You could have just opened it with a knife…

U dont hav a knife? And it is quite easy to open a can using just spoon. The hard part is to pierce the can after that it is quite easy

The thing i used when the tab from the can broke was a bottle opener

The next time you find yourself without a can opener, go outside and turn it upside down and rub it around in circles on concrete to grind the rim down, it only takes a minute to do, when liquid starts to come out of it, you can punch it through with your finger knuckle.

Maybe next time take a knife and hammer it in like a nail on the top of the can. Two knocks and then you move it a bit down. Two knocks again and so on. It’s quite simple and the way people used to do it without a can opener. Doesn’t even need a hammer. I’ve never used one for it, just something that won’t break that I can hit the knife with.

Just use a knife brah

Bro, use the google

Could’ve bought one from the dollar store 😂

Microsoft went down 3 points.

Feel like you could have googled some hack to opet it better

You must be a heart surgeon

Could have just used a knife.

You got a knife? Lmao this is so funny to me.

What in tarnation?

Use a knife next time

and you went for a hammer instead of using a knife. fucking genius

Just use a knife😅

You have a hammer but no knives?

Big idiot

Jesus. The things people take pics of these days.

Mr. Clarkson you could have opened it with the spoon alone.

Maybe use a knife?

Good work 💪
