unofficial poll question...
7how do you open a pistachio that hasn’t split open?
- crush it into fucking submission with my fist
- hammer - glass table be damned
- I save them in a separate bag and then use a shotgun to open them all at once
- why do you think I had kids?
- I’m fucking weird and hate pistachios

Just keep prying away while eating the easier-to-open ones, and then spike it into the trash if I’ve failed by the time I’m done with the rest.
@dave this seems wasteful. might I suggest the shotgun approach instead?

@werehatrack THIS!!!
I just apply a little more force with my teeth until they crack open.
@yakkoTDI The nut or one’s teeth?
@narfcake @yakkoTDI yeah, basically use my own Jaw as a Nutcracker.
@narfcake The nuts so far. As I age I also like to gamble more.
@yakkoTDI this is me, and every time I do it I ask myself… “Should I be doing this?”
As they say, “Just keep at it until you bust a nut”.

For #3 maybe try putting them in a cannon instead? That would be interesting to see what happens. Maybe aim into a metal box. Might get flame roasted nuts.
We once put a beer can in a cannon and shot it over to another boat. Hahaha - the recipient didn’t think about how much it got shook up in the shooting and landing in the ocean. In the wheel house he opened it. Also frozen hot dogs in cannons work pretty well too. We shot one of those at the president at the time (well at the navy air craft carrier he was on as we sailed by). We only missed him by about 100 vertical feet or so.
#5. Sorry.
I like to save them for the woodland creatures.
Sometimes I draw faces on them and leave them on my desk until I tire of them and throw them out.
Toss it back in the bag for the next p̶o̶o̶r̶ ̶s̶a̶p̶ more motivated individual.

Please remember that for method three you will want to make sure to use stainless steel shot not your cheap lead shot practice ammo.
