Ready to have your mind blown? Turns out that a whole lot of us have been using a can opener completely wrong our whole lives.

Reactions on the internet were pretty much the same as yours, especially on Reddit.
“My entire life is a lie. Why have I never seen this before?”
“Game changer!!”
“Holy shit people use them vertically?”
Although, because it is the internet, many people were not satisfied.
“But opening it just enough to pry the lid open is the best part!”
“Have fun cutting your fingers open with that sharp ass can.”
“I hate this way of doing it, these open tins now have a sharp as fuck edge on them, I don’t need that in a recycling bin that others will have to sort through.”
And, somehow, a discussion of the proper way to hang toilet paper broke out.

“If you have small kids or cats, they can unroll the whole roll by spinning it if the flap is outward.”
Never change, internet.
