You can just use something to pop it open by pushing down on the area that the tab would normally push down.

A pen, a lighter, a spoon, a key, whatever. Just a quick little jab would do it. You could even do it with the broken tab.

What everyone is saying is that you made an extra effort for no real reason by removing the top like that.

The "problem" was easily solved just by jabbing at the area the tab would normally dislodge with just about anything else.

Not so much as a single playpen ball.

False.

This is a like to like comparison, not a cause and effect one.

In like to like, order doesn't matter.

It's "A" is the same in some regard as "B" and the order of "A" and "B" is irrelevant in that kind of statement.

It is not "A" caused "B" in which case order does matter.

If I say oranges and limes are both citrus, it does not suggest that oranges came first, or that limes "learned how to be a citrus" from oranges. In either order the statement means the same thing.

This is the exact same situation.

What you're suggesting is like saying that if I say that "Bats and Birds both use wings to fly", it suggests that Bats copied their wings from Birds, and that bats existed before birds did.

Not true.

There is no implication that Death Metal singers learned their vocal methods from bats, only that they use the same kind of vocal technique.

The statement is that Death Metal vocalists learned to do the same thing bats do naturally, without influence from bats to learn. Not that one directly influenced the other.

That is a big reason why the order is irrelevant.

This is not a statement of cause and effect that links the two ideas as one leading to the other to begin with. It's a comparison of like to like.

It's "A" is the same as "B" and the order of "A" and "B" is irrelevant in that kind of statement.

It is not "A" caused "B" in which case order does matter.

The statement "I poured gravy on my mashed potatoes and it eroded a canyon into them, so it is like the Grand Canyon." does not imply that my mashed potatoes existed before the Grand Canyon did.

This is the exact same situation.

What you're suggesting is like saying that if I say that "Bats and Birds both use wings to fly", it suggests that Bats copied their wings from Birds, and that bats existed before birds did.

That's worded oddly, so I can't tell if you're agreeing with me or not.

If you mean that the order can be inferred by the fact that bats have existed longer than death metal, then yes, that's true.

If not...

Context matters, and is more relevant than formal syntax in this case.

No reasonable person is going to think that someone is claiming bats somehow learned how to vocalize from Death Metal.

The order they are mentioned in doesn't matter, because it would be assumed by anyone with enough mental capacity to read and understand the sentence as an absurdity to think Death Metal existed before bats did.

It is just pointing out the similarities between the two, and order in this case does not imply that the first one mentioned predates the other.

EDIT: It's a like to like comparison, and not a cause and effect one. Which also makes the order irrelevant.

No. There's no specific order implied.

It just says they use the same techniques, not that one learned from the other.

His only regret is that he has only one ass to sit with.

This is very good for Ukraine aside from the obvious recovery of their territory, as it gives them a land bridge into the southern region.

Kherson is very strategically important because of the access it gives between the two regions it connects.
