About

Floppy Hammers refers to a copypasta created from a 9GAG post showing workers using a flexible sledgehammer. The post asserts that the flexible hammers allow the workers to "swing with more kinetic energy." This inspired the copypasta "Use a floppy hammer to swing with more kinetic energy," which was spammed in comments on the site.

Origin

On December 3rd, 2018, a 9GAG post by an anonymous user showed a GIF of workers in an unidentified country using flexible sledgehammers. The post asserts that the flexible hammers allow for more "kinetic energy."[1] The post gained over 11,500 points (Imgur upload of GIF shown below). Of note, the top comment on the post claims that the flexible hammer is not for increased kinetic energy but to alleviate the stress on the hands one would feel with a solid hammer.


Human wisdom is infinite


Spread

The post spread elsewhere on the internet following its upload. It was posted to Reddit's /r/damnthatsinteresting and gained over 700 points.[2] On 9GAG, however, the phrase "floppy hammers allow for more kinetic energy began being spammed in comment threads.[3] This led to multiple posts on the site complaining about and riffing on the joke. Some popular examples include an It Doesn't Effect My Baby parody that gained over 110 points (shown below, left) and a Wheeze Comic parody that gained over 390 points (shown below, right).
