Ugh, anything posted on /r/lifehacks. 85% is just the intended but not primary use of a thing.
One of my favorites is a reposted to death infographic of how to open a can without a can opener: use a knife!
Bitch, canned food existed for 30 years before anyone bothered to invent a specific can opening tool. Before that everyone used knives. A ton of people in rural areas of the developing world, right now today, use knives to open cans.
Wait, seriously? I get that you can open a can with a knife, and I’ve definitely used some of the weird points on a swiss army knife to do so… but the can opener is easier. If you have one, why wouldn’t you go for it?
A lot of kitchen workers come from countries that lack education and apparently can openers. My boss likes to hire from these countries to keep costs down.
A nice 12" chef’s knife is easily ruined and it’s the reason I don’t keep my own knives at work.

And all the new hires in the kitchen I work at grab knives to open cans before I slap their hands.
