Q: Best tool for removing a nail
A: The most common tool used to take out nails is a hammer!
No, Google. I fucking know what hammers are. I'm asking you for NAIL PULLERS. JESUS CHRIST.
Jesus Christ would have wanted a decent nail puller.
Only according to John. In the Letters and the others Gospels he was tied to the cross, so he would have wanted a good pair of scissors.
First place my brain went reading this thread...
"Siri, play 'Zombie' by the Cranberries."
Huh, never knew that.
It's one of those things that could mean a lot or could mean nothing. Me personally I think it was a very important detail, because it means
The author had seen both methods used and picked the dramatic effect one despite knowing that earlier writers hadn't chosen that way.
Since he has Thomas stick his fingers in the hole it weakens the Thomasian/Gnostic view of the events. Indicating that Gnostics were older than expected, since there is no reason to rebute an argument with powerful symbolism if no one is yet making it.
I met someone who claimed to believe that every word in the Bible is true and that it describes events that all actually happened. How do such people explain inconsistencies like this?
I think about this idea a lot. In my mind, I thought it was obvious to everybody that most if not all of the Bible was meant to be allegory or instructional. Clearly I don't know a lot of fundamentalist Christians.... How do they account for different translations and versions of the Bible?
That was me when I was much younger. Basically I used a lot of cognitive dissonance. Yes, I was a biblical literalist. It was the word of God and the word of God needs to be perfect, not allegory not metaphor.
Would love to tell people I left because of some profound revelation but it didn't happen that way.
He'd have had to grip it in his teeth though, probably would have been a bit tricky really.
A nail puller could be a person.
In an alternate universe Peter is dubbed the Nail Puller of the church and never stops talking about how this one time he pulled some nails out.
And nobody ever questioned why this โ๐จโ was a holy symbol.
Though in your particular example I'm reasonably confident that the tool most people use to remove nails is indeed the claw on the back of their hammer. Where it fucked up was that you asked for the best, not the most common.
Yes, true. But the point is it never actually seems to read what I'm actually asking. The generated question will be what I want, but then the result it reveals may practically be the opposite.
What happened to all those random blog posts by tool nerds listing the most useful demolition tools? I know they're out there. Somewhere...
Sometimes I have resorted to searching blog domains and it isn't bad for the right queries.
You know what the claw end of the hammer is for right?
Actually 2 hammers are really good to take out a nail sometimes. You use one hammer to tap the claw of the other one under the nail.
Honestly I have a cat paw type nail puller but 9/10 hammer is the answer.
I was demoing at the time, and framing nails can be a bitch and a half to get out, plus they were quite well sunk. Hammer claw wasn't cutting it.
