Another version[edit]

'A man with a hammer sees nails everywhere' (or is he just noticing things he otherwise would not so he can play with his new toy?) 31.51.114.103 (talk) 09:37, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Starting a FUN equivalent of "Golden Hammer"[edit]

I have started some work on a fun article about golden hammers. Any questions?— Unsigned, by: 68.194.13.74 / talk

Trump's hammer[edit]

How big and how beautiful and how golden would it be?

And what would he do when 'someone' has a jewel encrusted platinum hammer which makes a more bigly sound when used? Anna Livia (talk) 12:45, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

By definition[edit]

A golden hammer cannot be pure gold. Anna Livia (talk) 18:05, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

Counterpoint: whatever obscure definition of "golden" you're using to assert that technicality is an extremely uncommon and dispossessed usage. ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 18:23, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
Made of (24 carat) gold - which is a tad soft. Anna Livia (talk) 18:42, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
Yeah, but my nails are made of keratin, which is even softer. ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 18:56, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

Bear in mind[edit]

A golden hammer might not weigh what you expect. Anna Livia (talk) 17:34, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

Flags[edit]

There are several 'other language flags' rotating - but I am only seeing Russian text (I can read enough Cyrillic to so deduce). Anna Livia (talk) 12:07, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

Belarus and Kazakhstan are the other two countries rotating. The Russian language has official status there. Bongolian (talk) 17:50, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
The flags are somewhat small and among the less familiar ones. I am slightly more literate in Fraktur than in Cyrillic. Anna Livia (talk) 19:20, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
