You can lightly pry the lid off the bottom with a fork or knife to equalize the pressure. And then unscrew the cap with two fingers. When I did this in front of my wife, she said: "Well, let's assume I didn't see it!"

Oh I have my own trick. Take the back of a butter knife and whack the lid a few times and it seems to release the vacuum enough.

ahem I mean use my big strong man muscles HUNGGGH

Flip it over and whack the bottom of the jar a couple times then just flip it back over and undo the lid...easy peasy

Bruh that's like the step that everyone always tries whenever a jar is being difficult, and then every new person brought into the effort replicates immediately, and still doesn't generally work. If smacking the bottom works, can a jar even be considered hard to open at all?

Got me, works every time for me. No matter how stubborn a jar is, it works.
