      You could say the same about can openers or shelves, though 🤷

        I’m not sure if you’re praising or damning can openers

            Fun fact: The metal can, and canning process were invented 80 years before the first can opener. Up until that point people opened them with whatever tools they had available, such as a knife, a hammer and screwdriver, or an axe.
