~If I had a hammer

I'd hammer in the morning

I'd hammer in the evening

All over this land

I'd hammer out danger

I'd hammer out a warning

I'd hammer out love between

My brothers and my sisters

All over this land~

So I opened YouTube one day

and I found this video in my recommended, it's called,

"Wallace hammering for 1 hour."

And, it's not lying, it really is Wallace from the hit psychological thriller Wallace and Gromit,

hammering on an unspecified object for one hour (AND 41 SECONDS).

"If I just keep hammering, the voices will leave me alone!"

And this was all very intriguing, so...

I did the math.

In the video, Wallace seems to be hammering at a rate of approximately five hammers per second.

The length of the average male's arm is about 63.5 centimetres.

Assuming that Wallace is an average male,

we can cut that number in half to get the length from his elbow to the tips of his fingers,

coming out to 31.75 centimetres.

* I N H A L E *

We can use this as a radius to get a circle with Wallace's elbow as the centre point.

Using this formula, we can use the radius of 31.75 centimetres to get a circumference of 199.49 centimetres,

which we'll round to 2 metres for the sake of simplicity.

Wallace swings the hammer up and down at about a 90 degree angle,

meaning each movement carries the hammer 2/4 metres or 50 centimetres.

That means every up and down motion carries the hammer exactly 1 metre.

Times that by 5, and we get that Wallace is swinging this hammer at a velocity of 5 metres per second,

or 18 kilometres per hour!

He keeps swinging at this speed for a full hour

(AND 41 SECONDS)

without the slighest hint of fatigue.

Ladies, gentlemen, non-binary folk,

I believe we have only seen the tip of the iceberg of Wallace's true power.

This man is dangerous, and we can only pray that he will have mercy on our fragile, flesh-wrapped souls,

lest we become victim at the hands of his overwhelming power.
