    Easy trick to open a jar if you don’t have a Great Old One around: stick the end of a metal spoon handle between the metal lid and glass and pry (lightly! Don’t break the glass!) like a lever around the lid to loosen it, and it should be easy to twist off afterwards.

      Sounds complicated.

      Surely it’s easier to take HGH and increase your grip strength three fold over a decade of daily work outs and dieting?

      Before that (to avoid potential damage) try tapping the lid of the jar against the counter. This can help loosen the vacuum holding the lid on.

      What’s on tumblr? I saw internet historian’s videos on Dashcon and the tumblr - 4chan wars, but haven’t heard much about it since.

        What’s on tumblr?

        I’m not sure what are you asking about… I’m not a tumblr expert, but from my personal (and biased) experience, it’s still used to post stuff. Mainly images and gifs/videos, but there are also some text posts there.

        They have said that they are working on implementing ActivityPub. If they do that you may see more tumblr content on the fediverse.

    The most OP trick to opening a jar is to wrap a rubber band around the lid and then use that to massively increase your leverage.

    If it’s really stuck, add a rubber band around the jar for the counter-twist too.

    You’ll never go back to any of the other methods, I promise.

      immediately shattered pickle jar, juice flies everywhere, granite is crushed, somehow I’m bleeding, oh God is this the end?
