I guess I'm just lucky that I have never ever in my life even once seen something almost similar to using a Unix shell as an access control mechanism. Maybe next we will hear that Hammers are not viable screwdrivers any more because, you know, that is also probably something everybody already knows.

>In the realm of unconventional tools, the potential application of biological structures has always been a topic of intrigue. This study delves into the material science behind the potential of hamster claws to function as micro-screwdrivers, given their inherent sharpness and structure. Using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), we characterized the microstructure of hamster claws, revealing a keratinous composition with intricate surface patterns. Nano-indentation techniques were employed to determine the hardness and resilience of the claws. Their sharpness was quantitatively assessed using a sharpness index, which considered both geometric and material properties. To test the potential application as micro-screwdrivers, we designed a set of experiments where hamster claws were used to engage with micro-screws commonly found in electronics and precision instruments. The results indicated that while hamster claws can fit into the grooves of certain micro-screws, the torque they can generate is limited due to their flexibility and the lack of a proper grip mechanism.
