Real practical pickle jar advice that always works: take a decent sized knife and tap the corners of the lid with the blunt end enough to dent it just a bit, one on each side of the circle or maybe 2 more should do it. It’ll come right off after.
Also if the lid us metal and the container isn’t, contents permitting, pour hot to boiling water over the lib. The metal will expand and come off more easily.

Additional real advice: twist the jar, not the lid.
Additional joke advice: flip it upside down and use the can opener on the bottom.

Just do the knife thing, it works every time and you don’t have to pour water on a jar
