dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

This may have been captured at the perfect moment to look incompetent but he was actually doing it right I think, you can see the nail is driven in and he's about to hit it again, he was probably holding it in the instant before the photo and pulled his hand away with his fingers still pinched just as it was captured. Not to defend him but I think the timing is funny.

But you can definitely tell he's just hitting a nail into wood arbitrarily for the photo, and his grip on the hammer bothers me.

Sometimes a metaphor is just a metaphor, it works even if the funniest interpretation is misinformed
