Reminds me of the dead sailors that would be sewn into their hammock and thrown overboard. And just to make sure they were really dead, they would sew one stitch through the nose.
“Popehammer” sounds like the name of a Catholic Power Metal band…
I can’t offer you that, but that pope hammer does look awfully square.
reasonable precaution, if you also believe in spirits impregnating a woman who then birthed the son of god, everthings possible.
Isn’t that what JD Vance did when he visited the pope, killing him?
Since the Trump administration thrives on falsifying news, can’t we go in the counter offensive by mass spreading JD Vance killed the pope? I think this would be so funny and his dumb fanbase might actually believe it and start to hate him for it.
Can anyone proof he did not Kill the pope?
Were you there? Talked to someone in person who was there?
If not, all the information you/i/we have got most likely delivered as a bunch of hackable pixels.
Just askin’ questions
You cannot prove a negative, so he did it.
I bet that thing has incredible scaling in a FTH/STR build.
This guy Souls.
A made-up factoid would have said seven hits with the hammer, so I guess this one is true.
it’s fun, but alas, false.
Yes, that is the definition of a factoid
The snopes article doesn’t say it’s outright false, just that it’s not based on available evidence. So stating it as fact rather than rumor is misinformation.
The Vatican has failed to deny it for over 20 years of inquiry. The impact of this claim is benign compared to pretty much anything else the church has factually done.
it’s funny and harmless, meme on.
How about a holy tazer? You know, a little twitching goes a long way.
Should hit him with a Klingon pain stick.
Glory to the Vatican house! Yesterday was a good day (for the Pope) to die!
They like to keep the bodies/relics so maybe there is a wack’a’pope machine in the vatican
Dunno about you, but I’m bopping the bishop right now bb.
Pics or it didn’t happen!!
I FEEL POPE-Y! I FEEL POPE-Y!
not sure which definition of “factoid” i should be using here…
It’s to make sure they STAY dead.
Unsanctioned resurrections are strictly forbidden.
Fun fact: the word “factoid” means a false bit of information that is being passed as fact. It doesn’t mean “a small interesting tidbit of information”.
Though I suppose the official definition will be changed since the proper one is seemingly dead
Quick edit: looks like it may have already been altered.
Factlet?
Lol, you could say your comment was a factoid.
Yeah, I was gonna make the joke, but got lazy.
It works under every definition of it, really.
Which means that OP used factoid correctly.
You know, it should be obvious, but until you brought it up here, I was guilty of thinking of it as just some colloquialism (which it very well may be). But if you think of the suffix -oid, taking “humanoid” for example, you get something that isn’t presenting itself as a human. But I didn’t come to that conclusion, I just was like, wow, they bop the Pope with a hammer.
So thanks.
Yeah, most lexicons being descriptive rather prescriptive makes etymology one hell of a twisted labyrinth. I agree it’s important for a lot of reasons. The last thing we need right now is a State enforcing some kind of “Newspeak”
A really fun factoid is that factoids being false information is not actually true!
Ow, my brains.
I love when a seemingly harmless meme becomes a linguistics debate and then just pure logic
