your advocacy for people with low empathy means nothing if you only focus on those who have high sympathy and compassion and are good at helping people and throw low empathy people who struggle a lot with those things under the bus

“my low empathy makes it so I can listen to all of my friends’ vents and sorrows without being upset and do everything I can to help them feel better!” my low empathy made me convinced I was hyper empathetic because people being in distress around me made me so deeply uncomfortable and irritated I thought it was cause I was “absorbing their emotions” and not because I was just overwhelmed and annoyed at them being upset

"I don't need a shopping list; with effort, I will remember that I need this item"

Okay but will you be able to remember that you already bought it? Because apparently I can't.

They're can openers.

So again, why are they shaped like this? I've never seen a can-opener like this

This is the right shape

That's a Klingon weapon.

I've never seen a can opener that's not shaped like

outside of like, American movies? Where are y'all getting CAN OPENERS WITH HANDLES?

Well I got these ones from Kmart. From memory I think they each cost about six bucks. (About $4US)

what is wrong with all of you? here is the opener!

Just looking at this picture is giving me tetanus.

The earliest version of this type of can opener was patented in 1926, and went into production around 1930 or 1931.

The Swing-A-Way model #407 has been in production since 1955 and has sold an estimated 100 million plus units.

The Bunker company was purchased by the Rival Company and was manufacturing can openers based on this design effectively since 1931 up to the present day (currently owned by Rubbermaid).

There have been a large number of improvements to the design but it remains in production to this day including under more or less the unchanged original patent. Many can openers even incorporate a small hook into their design which can be used as a bottle opener, or similar to the lever type can openers above.

Just so everyone on this thread knows, they also come in electric. Which can be very useful after you slice your hands open on that trench warfare shit.

after that cursed butter denier yesterday and now this, i'm starting to think half of tumblr users are visitors from some kind of Dickensian alternate reality where everything to do with food is crusty and depressing

Why does the box of that electric can opener demonstrate the opener being used on a can with a pull top

Reblogging again because I do actually have something to say to this. I own both, like one of those thingies OP has, and like an ANCIENT canopener. And like those things OP had just survive a year or two, then they don't open cans anymore and are just frustrating BUT the ancient canopener? It works so perfectly fine and well. I think it is still from my great grandmother. And it just fucking SLAPS.

It might last longer but my wrists when I have to use it don't. Those old openers are fucking hell on the hands. I can get a new can opener easier than I can get new joints.

Especially since you already have three of them

I love the migration in this post from ADHD purchasing to can opener discourse. You don't get this shit on any other site.

travelling back to the paleolithic era to explain to a neanderthal that in the future there will be food that is simultaneously disgusting and also the best tasting food you've ever eaten. the neanderthal nods and says "oh yeah we have that" and leads me to a clearing in the woods where a perfectly normal mcdonalds sits.
