Any tool can be a hammer if you use it wrong enough.

A good hammer is designed to be a hammer and only used like a hammer.

If you have a fancy new hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Some hammers use enough energy to power a small country in order to show you a cake recipe without an entire backstory and 50 ads.

A cake recipe that instructs you to put non-toxic glue in it, and some small pebbles on top of it.

This hammer does the same without using the energy of a small country https://theskullery.net
