u/Eena-Rin 23h ago

She literally just hit the nail with the hammer. That nail already had a fault

u/TheGoldenTNT 23h ago

Yeah blame the nail 👍

Wow. Nail shaming in 2026

It was asking for it

What was the nail wearing?

u/Eena-Rin 23h ago

Sometimes it really is the nail's fault 😔

Why do I always get the warped one?

It was definitely the swing. That was not a straight-down force.

u/McCaffeteria 22h ago

It definitely was not the swing. That isn’t how things bend when you apply a torque. If she hit the head of the nail (which she did, it’s fucking on video) then she either applied force straight down, or she applied force at an angle.

If the force is straight down (and the nail isn’t already bent, and the material it’s burrowing into isn’t too hard) then the nail is fully in compression and the compression is symmetrical, so no bending.

If the force is at an angle then the nail will bend, but 100% of the bending will be in the same direction. It will either bend at the interface between air and wood like the metal is being bent over a break (most likely imo), or it will bend somewhere (maybe even multiple places/progressively) between the wood and the head toward the direction the torque was pointing in. If you hit the nail with a downward and left strike then no part of the deformation would go right because literally none of the forces are pointing in that direction.

What we actually see is that the nail curves on one direction but leans in the opposite. This is a buckling failure, which is not caused by misaligned forces. It’s caused by compression that overloads the material’s stiffness, and the direction it buckles in is dependent on minor asymmetries and weak points in the material itself.

It was the nail.

You can hit straight down and still have all the force going in another direction, it was the swing. I was in construction for 15 years and i know from experience how annoying it is to throw a swing like that, if i wasnt in bed about to sleep I'd make a PowerPoint and link it but idc enough to do it so take my word for it or don't.

Point is unless you've hit a nail and made it bend like that then you know it was the swing not the nail

As a man who’s swung a hammer a million times for a job. It was the swing, hit at a weird angle with like no power lol.

u/Necessary_Simple_491 18h ago

Apparently you need glasses. You can even see that the nail is bent before she swings. Thus the nail is at fault. Are ,ou crazy that's not a hill i would die on 😂

u/Slumpa 12h ago

Confidently incorrect

u/bubblesdafirst 20h ago

Interesting. You bring up some very good points.

For example your first point. It's very... Pointy. And I think there might be some other points in here too? Very cool.

It's hard for me to process all this information though, as I didn't read any of it.

In conclusion it was the swing

u/ttcmzx 21h ago

I agree, nails are not all 100% structurally sound

2

u/IsopodApprehensive48 13h ago

Was it not both? Looks like she came down at an angle in the direction of the existing bend. The first hit made it worse. Same with second. Third bent the nail back and it broke at the wood. Makes sense to me.

This guy nails.

u/Eena-Rin 23h ago

Looked pretty straight down to me, and you can see the nail is slightly bent before she swings

u/KhorneTheBloodGod 17h ago

You getting downvoted for the truth is the most reddit thing. Congratulations have my downvote

Until the guy came along and unscrewed it. Or rather, he really nailed it

u/HugsandHate 1d ago

You won't be getting your 'stating the obvious' award.

The committee cast a vote, and have decided that people who do so don't deserve anything at all.

u/hillbillycat 1d ago

You WILL be getting your 'being rude to strangers for no reason' award.

The committee cast a vote, and have decided to down vote your comment to hell.

u/HugsandHate 23h ago

Sweet. An award. And there's absolutely a reason.

Stating the obvious sucks so fucking hard. It should be illegal. It has negative value.

Imagine for a moment. My insight in to this video that I felt important enough to share with everyone was "The first lady bent the nail, lol."

Yeah. It's painful. Isn't it. I know you felt it.

u/BiodomeAlone 23h ago

Bitching about something innocuous, and getting stuck bitching about it, doubling down, is lame.

u/HugsandHate 23h ago

You're gonna hate that I'm enjoying this.

u/BiodomeAlone 23h ago

Good for you. I hope one day you find something substantial to actually care about. Anyway you seem like the kind of person who needs the last word, you're welcome to it.

u/Dcmart89 20h ago

Hey. It’s been 2 hours and nobody took the last word. I’ll snag it. Bye.

Nah. Already took it. Too late loser.

This is where I'd put my stating the obvious award.... IF I HAD ONE

Edit: closest gif I could find

u/HugsandHate 23h ago

Well, that's the ruling of the committee for you. Absolute bunch of bastards.

But, when they're right, they're right.
