Multi section capacitor can... wired in series?

Is there any way to do this?? As all of the caps within a can share a common ground, it seems impossible. Maybe I'm missing something?

Seems impossible because it is impossible.

This isn't the future I signed up for.

There are specially made series can caps, but then they are made special for the purpose, so of course you can't parallel them.
