Opening a beer bottle with a lighter, a second beer bottle, your teeth (not recommended), the corner of a table (don't actually do this unless you know the table can be scratched up or chipped), or other random objects.
Are you speaking from experience? Sounds painful.
That's actually just a basic skill in Germany and far from impressive. Even myself who basically can do nothing with his hands can open a beer bottle with many objects that have an edge.
Not saying that it might not be impressive in other parts of the world, but dont overestimate its effect in Germany. ;)
Edit: Just remembered that I knew a guy who opened bottles with his eye socket...crazy shit.
i have two roommates who cant open it by themselves and still buying those bottles without having an opener...
In most cases i still need a lighter because i dont like beer ant those bottle caps are annoying to me
Opening a twist off bottle top with your hands when everyone else thinks it's a normal bottle top is a good one for a quick laugh
Even in this world where everything I buy or am gifted comes with another fucking bottle opener I still use the lighter or hard corner trick more than any other bottle opening methods
Knew a guy once who could do it with his bare hands, no idea how though, looked like it hurt
Doing it with your phone is also great if you have a solid case. You can do it with your hand if you have a ring that isn't soft like gold or silver
