So , /sci/, tell me how the fuck is this possible? The only logical way there is, is the center of gravity to be somehow on the table...
Also, real life bugs thread in general

Can you seriously not see how this works?

The side with the head is heavier so it moves down and the other side moves up and it pushes against the ruler hard enough so it doesn't fall off.

Do you even lift?

The heaviest part of the hammer is the metal end, the far end from the handle.
This is a lot heavier than the rest of the hammer

It is to the left of the origin.
It does really balance, but it looks counter intuitive

Ones age does not determine whether they have seen this before.
There is no need to be snide.

The vast majority of the weight of the object is the head of the hammer. The support area (the end of the ruler touching the table) has forces pushing it down and trying to rotate it counter-clockwise. Those forces keep it firmly planted into the table.

The reason this image is confusing is because normally the weight in this sort of situation would be to the right of the support area, thus making the assembly rotate clockwise, resulting in it tumbling from the table.
