I ended up having some time today to dig this thing out of my camping gear. It's musty rusty and crusty but it's poked a lot of holes in fuel cans. Haven't camped in years some of this is really taking me back.
Cursive in the wild love it
I'm bringing it back
You should just make every comment an image of paper where you write what you would type. That'd be real old school
I keep telling my kids that the more you do it, the better it gets. I had to start journaling just to get my handwriting into shape. I don't like to journal, but need to be able to take legible notes during meetings. So, one fed into the other. Your cursive/script/magic runes look better than most other block print I'm seeing in local High Schools, so keep it up.
My kids are pretty young but my 7 year old came to me and asked me to teach him cursive. Proud dad moment for sure 😁 I don't journal but I do write terrible short fiction, all by hand, in a notebook. It's fun!
OP delivers!

Thank you for the context!
This is my favorite community on Lemmy rn.
😂 I believed you first time bizzle.
You pulled through and posted it! Nice!
Interesting, I haven't seen one of these. How does it work?
The bottom rim of the fuel canister goes between those jaws, and acts as a lever to puncture the can. You use those canisters to fuel your camp stove, which you have because even if you're cooking over an open fire your moka pot needs a stove. Some gas gets left behind even when it's "empty". As I understand it, it's enough gas to cause problems at the recycling center. So instead the small hole allows it to bleed off into the atmosphere where it won't explode. Pretty neat
Gotcha. That makes sense. I was thinking it was some sort of connector for a super niche camp stove I hadn't seen before.
