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.
Yes, that is the definition of a factoid
i had never heard that definition of factoid before this thread, personally, so i figured folks might appreciate a source. *shrugs*
reasonable precaution, if you also believe in spirits impregnating a woman who then birthed the son of god, everthings possible.
I bet that thing has incredible scaling in a FTH/STR build.

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.
"Popehammer" sounds like the name of a Catholic Power Metal band...
A made-up factoid would have said seven hits with the hammer, so I guess this one is true.
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.
How about a holy tazer? You know, a little twitching goes a long way.
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?
If the pope can't cast Abjure Hammer he doesn't deserve to be pope
The hammer deals holy damage, so it'll be very effective to keep hitting.
critical miss undead pope deals 15 crushing damage plus disease

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.
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.
Which means that OP used factoid correctly.
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.
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

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.
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.
You'd think it were unwitting village elders getting buried alive.
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.
I want to believe this is real
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.

It's to make sure they STAY dead.
Unsanctioned resurrections are strictly forbidden.
Or next thing you get two pope lines and one of them messes around with your vampire boyfriend
But if it's during Easter, is it really forbidden?
Or is this Jesus being a jealous prick?
