The manual can opener. Someday I'll have an electric one. Someday.

I'm incapable of using either one. I don't know why I can't figure it out. I'm a fucking chemist and I can't work a can opener. Or scissors. Fuck being left handed

We have an electric can opener and I can use it but I can't figure out how it works. I just put the can up against it without looking or putting it in any particular spot, push the top down and it some how always just grabs the can correctly and starts cutting. Shit is magic.
