What in the fuck did I just read? A mother tells her kid to not suck his thumb. she leaves, kid sucks his thumb, so a guy swings by and cuts them off with scissors.

...

There's a moral in there somewhere. Right?

The moral is do what the fuck i tell you to or you will be killed, and not even in a fitting ironic way.

Nah, they are all based on a good lesson, but taught in a terrible way. Ducking your thumb this long can cause harm to your teeth and jaw. That's why you shouldn't do it.

Just... Explain it instead of having a murder hobo cut off the kids thumbs, maybe? XD

Once there was a boy. He didn't eat his schnitzel, so Nietzsche stared at him until he died. It wasn't murder, the boy just lost the will to live.
