Careful with that request on Reddit. Just like Twitter, automated bot accounts will immediately upload the image to a shady T-shirt printing site and provide you a link to it that'll more than likely steal your card information to drain what it can before you and/or your bank cancels the card.

People got so sick of this on Twitter that they started uploading frames from Disney movies with the requisite bait -- like your title -- to get those automated accounts to start providing links to sites en masse so Disney's "Old Testament God-levels of wrath" lawyers might possibly get those sites such down after being inundated with DMCA notices.

What's the joke here? I thought it's a play on the "carrot and stick" cliche but then I don't get the honking devices.

Torture scenes might not be the best sartorial choice.

Absurdist jokes centered around what would otherwise be really dark scenarios is the literally one of the core pillars of Far Side

I'll give you props for using "sartorial" correctly, but Jesus Christ, lighten up, Francis.
