  You put the opener on the top, not the side of the can. Image

    I have a can opener that just breaks the factory seal instead of actually cutting the metal, and I put it on the side of the can. I wonder if these mixups are just from everyone using different kinds of can openers without realizing it lol

    The problem with opening a can this way is that the entire top becomes sharp rather than just the inner edge. With the inner edge sharp, you’d have to stick your hand inside to actually get cut.
