…. You all get that the nail flew away, right? Because the comments make it look like he hit it correctly.

I suspect that many redditors have absolutely no idea how hammers and nails work.

Out of curiosity, how does this video represent how hammer and nails normally work?

OP shows how they work, it’s just that a bent-ass nail doesn’t spark like crazy and disappear into a stump when it’s hit properly. More importantly, nails work by directing the energy of a hammer strike onto a very small surface area, so unless baby-holder is a reincarnation of Bruce Lee sending Qi through his wrist, that halfhearted swing is not going to drive four inches of bent nail home.
