How old are they? If they are 4 that's cute, if they are 24 I'm concerned for their safety.

In their defense, some models of horizontally held can openers look very similar to the vertical ones and it takes me a few attempts until I figure out I'm holding it wrong... No can opener I've used worked by suction though

Teenager. I think the one in their culinary class in school must have worked horizontal, or perhaps people in tiktok videos and they were somehow managing to use mine that way, painfully slowly. I didn't know there even were horizontal can openers until I saw them trying to open a can. Mine is an ancient OXO one that still works great. Vertically.
