  • Yes but imho that is funny.

    “snitches get stitches” mean “if you snitch you will get stitches”.

    On the last panel the doctor says “if and only if you snitch you will get stitches” which is completely different and thus an humoristic subversion of expectations.

    (note that I’m not the final judge of what’s funny and what’s not. Kamel Debbiche is)











  • It’s something that I really dislike on the internet.

    We lose a lot of cues because writing and empathy due to not being in same physical space. In the end we tend to assume the worst about each other and react much more agressively.

    Imho it’s kinda similar to how road rage or videogame flaming work.

    quick edit: I agree that OP’s question could be loaded otoh not that we assume it is with such a limited context.
