"Popehammer" sounds like the name of a Catholic Power Metal band...

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 49 minutes ago

I can't offer you that, but that pope hammer does look awfully square.

[–] Nomad@infosec.pub 2 points 51 minutes ago

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.

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 30 points 20 hours ago

reasonable precaution, if you also believe in spirits impregnating a woman who then birthed the son of god, everthings possible.

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.

[–] lazyViking@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Yes, that is the definition of a factoid

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 22 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

I bet that thing has incredible scaling in a FTH/STR build.

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.

[–] Fetus@lemmy.world 49 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A really fun factoid is that factoids being false information is not actually true!

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] KazuchijouNo@lemy.lol 10 points 1 day ago

I love when a seemingly harmless meme becomes a linguistics debate and then just pure logic

[–] lenuup@reddthat.com 9 points 1 day ago

Which means that OP used factoid correctly.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

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.

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.

[–] Zwrt@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

Just askin' questions

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

You cannot prove a negative, so he did it.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 105 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (9 children)

What happens if they hit the pope with the pope hammer and the pope sits up and screams "Ow!" ??? 🤔

Do they just keep hitting him with the hammer or do they need to use magic to destroy the undead abomination?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

If the pope can't cast Abjure Hammer he doesn't deserve to be pope

[–] jellyfishhunter@lemmy.world 105 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The hammer deals holy damage, so it'll be very effective to keep hitting.

[–] YoiksAndAway@lemmy.zip 22 points 1 day ago

critical miss undead pope deals 15 crushing damage plus disease

So..

Like full swing or just a little tap tap?

[–] danekrae@lemmy.world 49 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He was wearing white, when he went into the room.

[–] Firoaren@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

Szeth Son Son Vallano wore white on the day he was to kill a pope

Gotta be concave for the conclave!

They like to keep the bodies/relics so maybe there is a wack'a'pope machine in the vatican

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Dunno about you, but I'm bopping the bishop right now bb.

It's to make sure they STAY dead.

Unsanctioned resurrections are strictly forbidden.

[–] fargeol@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

A made-up factoid would have said seven hits with the hammer, so I guess this one is true.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is like those warning labels. Someone had to really fuck up to get some of those warnings made. Makes me wonder about this hammer.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Oh, they did. Telling if someone was really dead was difficult until modern medicine figured it out in the last century or so. People got buried alive by unwitting village elders all the time.

[–] Ganbat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 1 day ago

it was common enough that the "Safety Coffin" was invented to help deal with it. If you heard a bell ringing in the graveyard, someone was alive down there.

The inventor of this method: „he was dead before I hit him. I was totally just checking with my medical hammer, you guys. Believe me.“

Should hit him with a Klingon pain stick.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

Glory to the Vatican house! Yesterday was a good day (for the Pope) to die!

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I want to believe this is real

[–] deus@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago

It's unclear. The Vatican denies it, but apparently weirder methods have been used to certify the passing of a pope before, so who knows.
