Would you date someone that uses a hammer?

Hammers are very dangerous. Tens of thousands of hammer accidents happen a year in the US. Hammers can be used to dismantle and destroy things. They've even been used in the perpetration of crimes and murders. I could not on good conscience date someone who uses a hammer.

As an American I can say the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a hammer is a good guy with a hammer.

As an European I'll just refer to the statistics on hammer murders and the differences between hammer city, USA and Peaceburg, Anywhere Europe. Again.

Date someone with a hammer and you might get nailed.

You want to date someone with an impact driver and you'll get screwed.

I won’t date anyone who uses dihydrogen monoxide on a regular basis

I had some of that at an extremely early age. Addicted ever since. I still can't go a day without it without feeling terrible.

Love can wait. Safety first.

In the beginning, there was life and it was good. Then came the hammer and it's been shit ever since. Our best philosophers are deeply divided: those who think we never should have left the trees (return to monke) and those who think we never should have left the oceans. (return to crab)

A girl's gotta have standards

Well, that leaves anyone in a trade out of the dating pool then because most of them, eg. in the carpentry field, use hammers of some kind and in some way.

As a mechanic with about 10 hammers, guess I’m out.

wesker@lemmy.sdf.org · 7 pts · 275d (1 reply)

I have ethical concerns about this.

Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 275d

Maybe we could hammer out an agreement.

Can confirm. I work on industrial equipment. Sometimes you just gotta hit it with a hammer.

blx@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 275d

I can also confirm. I write software for a living. A hammer is a must-have.

Does that mean you won't see a doctor?

Famously they use those little rubber hammers on people's knees

Doctors are trained in using them safely, and in a way that benefits the public. That could make a difference.

I’m curious on data regarding hammer related deaths. It’s really hard to kill yourself with a hammer.

zloubida@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 275d

I only use this kind of hammers.

I knew a hammerhead shark once, it was actually very kind and considerate, even when hammering. I think humans will probably evolve into responsible hammer users in a few thousand generations or so. It's just a matter of practice.

Hammerhead sharks are unironically one of the coolest animals in existence

If hammers were only useful for hurting people, yes, yes I would.

Gee I've never seen this argued before. By golly you've cracked the code. Checkmate!!
