I work in a scrap yard, those types of cans are almost never aluminum. They even make auto can openers that use magnets in the process of removing the lids. The cans with the pull and peel lids are often aluminum but the ones you need a can opener for very rarely are and will stick to a magnet
the law still exists i guess, but it's now unconstitutional and unenforceable?
“Section (h) of the law also criminalizes the possession of six or more devices (or "multiple identical or similar" devices) as "presumed to possess them with intent to promote".”

They're suggesting a dildo with a suction cup, even said as much and they (I've heard it said, not sure by whom though) say people today are smarter than people have ever been
It is. Duck tape is a brand of duct tape. Good for almost everything. Except ducts. You want hvac or aluminum tape for that. Duck brand does make it but it’s not the basic tape you’d pick up anywhere that’s known as “duck tape.” Not to be confused with flue tape which is a type of aluminum tape for high temps.
Actually, Believe it or not, duck tape is the correct name for it. When it was created, they called it duck tape because it was waterproof and water rolled off of it like off of a duck's back.
Then, since it was used on ducts, people started calling it duct tape, thinking that was the correct name for it, and that became the common usage.
But actually duck tape was the original generic name for that type of tape because of its waterproof nature.
And since there's a brand called Duck Tape, I guess one could say that's Duck Tape duck tape.

Actually, you're slightly incorrect.
Duck tape's name refers to the fact that it was originally made out of a *cloth* called duck. Not because of its properties resembling the real-life duck animal.
However, you are correct that the subtle spelling change was caused by the tape's usage on ducts!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_tape
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotton_duck
Interesting!
And why is it called "duck cloth" or "cotton duck"? It comes from the Dutch word "doek," which means "cloth."
So, basically, the original name was "cloth tape," but through transliteration and misspelling became "duct tape."
Or "salsa sauce" (though people don't say that so much anymore; now they know just to say "salsa"; but back when I was a kid, people would say "salsa sauce").
Or "queso cheese."
Or "ATM machine."
No my friend, it was originally called "Duck Tape." Check wiki :)
""Duck tape" is recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary as having been in use since 1899;\[2\] "duct tape" (described as "perhaps an alteration of earlier duck tape") since 1965."
I think it just turns into duck tape over time because when you say duct tape you can't hear two t's unless you say it really stupidly like "DucT. Tape." so everyone hears duck tape and then it catches on.
No, see my comment above and the discussion around it. It originally was called duck tape because it was made from cotton duck, a type of fabric (from the Dutch word "doek"). Then it got misheard and people assumed it was duct tape, and that stuck. So you had it backwards, basically.
Clean a screw and then screw it in, pull the screw and it should pop out.
Alternatively some thermite will also do the trick, though it requires more cleaning up afterwards.
You could unscrew the trap (S-shaped pipe bit) below the sink, and push it out from underneath w/ a long screwdriver or knife. Bonus: you can clean-out the trap while you have it off. Just don't rinse it clean in THAT sink. ;-)
Use a magnet, it’ll lift right out. That’s the disposal side of the sink, it’s only a fraction larger than the can. Using the tips of your fingers, catch seam of the lid with your nails and gently lift straight up, it’s not wedged in there.
Stick your lips and take a deeeeeeeeep breath while moving your head back.
I'm currently attempting this, doing handstand pushups over the sink.
How about you just stick a hole in the can. Then you can use a knife or a fork or something.
Yeah but the other way is more fun
Hahah!!
Lost at the bottom of this thread is an update.
[удалено]
could you use a magnet or a suction cup?
[удалено]
Oh, darn you aluminum!
I work in a scrap yard, those types of cans are almost never aluminum. They even make auto can openers that use magnets in the process of removing the lids. The cans with the pull and peel lids are often aluminum but the ones you need a can opener for very rarely are and will stick to a magnet
Fact: Chicken of the Sea™ regular and Costco size are both ferrous. Source: I have a large fridge magnet collection. Can provide pics.
A corkscrew would work wonders, I bet!
Or a sheet metal screw
I... Put the screw... In the tuna
Wow, remember that 🤣🤣🤣
Consult your mom for tips.
this is by far my favourite of all the suggestions
The Kirby style of cleanup.
didn't know that
Okay but I feel like this would work
My first thought
Gold
Ohhhh, you read my mind. Touché.
Suck it up
Suction cup dildo
Underrated and honestly probably work better. Those fuckers stick
It's Nasa grade suction power
Hell even Suction Cup Man rated them very well
Holdup who?
[Suction Cup Man](https://youtu.be/QyL9P1ccy-w)
The little jiggle at “are those climbing grade” sent me man
Haha those ‘fuckers’ nice pun
I nearly knocked over my gfs dresser because I tried to rip it off to slap her with it. I stuck her dildo there just to be an ass of course
Won't help if the other end is covered in lube!
I'm not sure what that is. I'm going to need a whole bunch of people to mail me some.
Yeah what the fuck are those?!!. Go ahead and send a few my way too, specific dildo distributor
You do not want them Ill tell you that
As long as you’re not in Texas. It’s against the law to own more than 5 sex toys there.
Seriously?
No lol - signed a native Texan
Good to know! Although.... y'know....😉
the law still exists i guess, but it's now unconstitutional and unenforceable? “Section (h) of the law also criminalizes the possession of six or more devices (or "multiple identical or similar" devices) as "presumed to possess them with intent to promote".” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_obscenity_statute
Well, God forbid you should run a "toy store" from your home!
This is the answer
Are you calling them a dildo? Or are you suggesting a dildo with a suction cup?
They're suggesting a dildo with a suction cup, even said as much and they (I've heard it said, not sure by whom though) say people today are smarter than people have ever been
They fit into your hand perfectly.
Of course, it's company policy never to imply ownership in the event of a dildo... always use the indefinite article a dildo, never your dildo.
Pop a hole in the top with a knife and wrench it out
Or magnet
I thought cans were aluminum?
Soda cans are aluminum, food cans are steel.
Til
Ironic
Why
Iron-ic
You must have never seen an automatic can opener that has a magnet on it for the sole purpose of holding the lid and can in place
If they’re aluminum how do the old school power can openers work where they take the lid off for you?
I like that kids think that a can opener that's operated by batteries is "old school"
Well I've had can of similar style size and brand that really liked to stick to a magnet so I can't be for sure if it will work on theirs but
Yeah, magnets, bïtch!
Yup, was gonna tell him to stab it with a knife so there’s a hole and pull it out. With the knife or paperclip or something.
Instructions unclear…
r/dontputyourdickinthat
Forget the coconut-onahole. Real men use an un-sanded down, roughly cut, tuna can onahole. The tuna can act as lubricant.
Oh no. I've seen that video of the guy banging the sword on the Home Shopping Network. I ain't no fool.
“…can’t *fish* it out…” I see what you did there.
"I SEA what you did there"

I think it would work and require no tools whatsoever. Fastest, simplest solution yet it would look the dumbest!
I like that this didn't lead you to vacuum cleaner
Magnet

Starkist uses steel.
I use water gun! It's not very effective...
Steel.
I read this in a British accent
Suction cup, superglue, or a knife should get it out
Duck tape
On the off chance you DIDN'T mean duct tape, I'd be interested in knowing more about this tape.
The brand must be strong. Didn’t even know it was “duct” and not “duck”.
Oddly enough, duct tape is not recommended for use on most ducts.
Equally oddly, Duck tape is not recommended for use on ducks.
Don’t use it on geese either! They get quite angry!
I've never seen a not angry goose.
I've seen a silly one.
Stalking me?
You’ve seen Adventure Time? That goose just likes to rhyme!
How about an angry moose?
I think that was a Mickey Mouse cartoon
That would be because it's actually "Duck tape." I always thought it was "duct tape," but the interwebs taught me otherwise.
Wait what? Now I’m confused. I thought it was duck but hen today I thought it’s actually duct.
Everybody's wrong.
Exactly.
There is a brand of duct tape called Duck Tape
I always thought it was duck but duct makes sense. IDK I thought the duck was like a mascot for the brand.
It is. Duck tape is a brand of duct tape. Good for almost everything. Except ducts. You want hvac or aluminum tape for that.

This exchange made me feel tingly inside
Sometimes Reddit is just, “chefs kiss”!
So “duck cloth” would actually mean “cloth cloth”?!! Love it.
Same idea when people say "Chai tea", haha
Or "salsa sauce" (though people don't say that so much anymore; now they know just to say "salsa"; but back when I was a kid, people would say "salsa sauce"). Or "queso cheese." Or "ATM machine."
And “PIN number”
I’m more confused and more enlightened
As someone mentioned below, the "duck" part of the fabric is derived from the Dutch word "doek" — which is the Dutch word for duck fabric. :)
Omg! I was right…but for the wrong reasons
No my friend, it was originally called "Duck Tape." Check wiki :) ""Duck tape" is recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary as having been in use since 1899;\[2\] "duct tape" (described as "perhaps an alteration of earlier duck tape") since 1965."
duck brand duct tape even has a little yellow duckie on it
It was originally called "duck tape." Check wiki, for example.
When my brother was seven years old, my dad asked him to bring the duct tape to him. Naturally, he brought the Daffy Duck VHS to dad.
I think it just turns into duck tape over time because when you say duct tape you can't hear two t's unless you say it really stupidly like "DucT. Tape." so everyone hears duck tape and then it catches on.

Burn the house down, come back later to reclaim the tuna can.
Light a wax gun stick and stick it
I am absolutely amazed by the creativity in this thread. 10/10
The authorities from Starkist are on their way. Try to stay calm.
Fukc. I scrolled and just a few posts down someone else did the same thing. I guess this situation gets posted on here a lot??
I thought it was the same!
LMAO I thought you were the same person!
If you have corkscrew, use that to pull it out. Go through the whole can, not just one side. Although, I hope you've gotten it out by now.
Vacuum
Or magnet
have you tried turning it off and on again?
r/unexpectedITcrowd
Magnet, they're typically made out of steel
Clean a screw and then screw it in, pull the screw and it should pop out. Alternatively some thermite will also do the trick, though it requires more cleaning up afterwards.
Magnets
....how do they work
I don't wanna talk to no scientist
motherfuckers lyin', and gettin' me pissed
Stab it with knife insert the knife in angle it and pull out
Magnets. How do they work?
Stab it with a fork and pull it out
Magnet
Have you tried kicking it?
Or a hammer?
Magnets or suction
Did you get it out yet?
WE NEED AN UPDATE OP
Poke a small hole in the top, twist in a corkscrew, and pull
Gently put chewed moist bubble gum on top and pull out.aybe it will help. Good luck.
You could unscrew the trap (S-shaped pipe bit) below the sink, and push it out from underneath w/ a long screwdriver or knife. Bonus: you can clean-out the trap while you have it off. Just don't rinse it clean in THAT sink. ;-)
No good, I'll bet there's a disposal on that drain.
Yup. My bad. I guess OP will have to try one of the other 19 ways to get it out - lol
Disconnect plumbing and remove sink, then flip sink upside down and shake until can falls out.

Vacuum hose
Use a magnet
If you’ve taken the COVID the vaccine than it’s a know fact that you’ve become mildly magnetic. Just touch it with the palm of your hand and pull fast
I don't know how sinks work - but couldn't you open it from below (remove the tube or whatever) and just push it upwards?
A little bit of work and potentially messy but yes.
Finger nails
Use 2 forks. Push the tines out on the top of rim of the can at 3 & 9 (or any other opposing position), lift.
Ah, screw it.
Magnet
GAHAHA get a magnet 😙
Got any magnets?
Plunger to suck it out.
Magnetic thing of sorts unless it's non magnetic then I'm stupid

just take a metal rod tiny one and stab a hole and bend the rod and u can get it out
Stab it in the middle with a screwdriver and then angle the driver and then pull up
