With fingernails. Else, it hurts and smth like a fork, knife can be used

Depends on the tab. Some are not soldered onto the can so I can work with that. For the ones that do, spoons it is.

I use a cutless can opener

I most frequently encounter these when feeding the cat, so in that case I have a spoon out already.

Fuck it. I use a rotary can opener. The one with the sharp edges!

I will use my fingers to prepare for the situation where you cannot use spoons

I use these all the time, no issues.

You pry the tab up to a 45 degree angle. Then insert a finger. While firmly holding the can with one hand, pull back with the other hand on the tab, the can should open smoothly. At the very end there is a chance the lid will spring off the can, so you should use less pressure when the lid is almost totally detached.

If you have trouble getting under the tab (like you just cut your fingernails), use any flat thing to give you leverage, a spoon, toothpick, screwdriver, etc

I use a table knife. If I had long nails I'm sure they would do the trick though; they aren't that strong
