Did you find it at the abortion clinic?
I have no recollection how I came to possess the object, but it doesn't
look like any tool one would use to perform an abortion.

It's a tool to open pop top cans instead of prying up the ring
with your fingernails. I have one and for _me_ I find it useless.
But on sites that sell it, it gets rave reviews.

I you could find a spoon of the right shape, that would probably work
just fine for opening pop top cans.

Indeed, you should always get the right tool for the job.

Or an Oztard abortion hook - works on marsupials too.

I clip my fingernails short. I don't drink soda, but I use a tool on
cans of beans, tomatoes, and the big cylinder of oatmeal. Since
I'm generally standing right there next to the flatware drawer, my
weapon of choice is a teaspoon, which has the dual virtues of being
something I've already paid for and being a multi-tasker.
I had a friend whose family ran a pop business. He used to open pop
bottles with his teeth. I cringed every time I saw him do it and I was amazed that he never broke or even chipped a tooth.

This thread has given a test for female, up to transgenderism, testing
for sports. I have never, ever had a problem opening a pop top.
Not
once, and I'm damned near eighty. I've already popped five beers
tonight.

Looks pretty useless to me. I don't buy much that has pop top cans but seems like the handle end of a spoon or fork would accomplish the same thing.

Indeed. I won't say it's perfectly harmless but mostly
Alphabet/Google wants data to enable them to more efficiently
separate you from your money. There's nothing more American than that.

I ordered a restored, "Like New" 8th Gen iPad that's cell capable, a
real Apple Smart Keyboard for it, and a Carhartt crossbody bag to put it
in. Hey, it don't get no manlier than Carhartt ;-). With tax and all, a little under $200.
I'll essentially have a giant iPhone. It could be very handy with Apple Translate for going to good ol' Mexico.
