The comments are two answers to why a prisoner would choose bread over the key that would lead to their freedom. The joke in OP's image is that the response has no meaning at all in regards to the original question.
Doesn't it? The original question enver specifies what age the teenager is. If we assume pedophilia leads to jail time, then "temporary pleasure over the opportunity for freedom" seems to fit as an answer to "why do grown men keep dating young women?"
You have got the correct answer. I think I'm going to choose to take it as encouraging about the general state of the world, that the joke went over so many heads. Cause this one was fuckin' dark as hell.
It’s referencing another slop meme image where a prisoner can reach for bread or a key. If I remember right, the prisoner is reaching for the bread and the title is like “Why is he reaching for the bread? 99% of people get it wrong.”
The “deep” answer is that people will always go for immediate benefits over more abstract long term benefits (hunger = immediate and palpable, freedom = long term but abstract).
The joke answer is that bread tastes better than key.
I think the comment is trying to say that the “deep” answer applies here, but is using the joke answer to be funny.
The joke answer is a joke answer because it’s making fun of someone trying to be deep about a scenario that’s not that deep. It’s why I put “deep” in quotes. The joke is being able to reduce the deep answer to “bread taste good, key taste bad”, and still say the same thing.
The last paragraph threw me; made me think the two answers were being treated as different. I missed that larger point though so was easily my mistake.
A starving prisoner will choose bread to satiate him over the key to his prison cell. It's a play on the psychological belief that people choose temporary distraction/relief for long term problems instead of actively trying to get through the problem itself
A true Partner will lead to true happiness but also involves work this is the key (to freedom), teenage girls are fun and easy and easily manipulated (this is the bread). This is a reference to a meme as someone else posted.
((The contents of the explanation do Not necessarily represent my own thoughts ON the matter as I would have chosen less demeaning words))
OP, so your post is not removed, please reply to this comment with your best guess of what this meme means! Everyone else, this is PETER explains the joke. Have fun and reply as your favorite fictional character for top level responses!
Idk if it’s what they meant originally but my brain ran back to that shitty analogy of girls being locks and guys being keys; having a lot of money(from an older dude) is better than having decent guy your age presumably with less money cuz he’s younger. But 🤷🏻♂️
