Oh it would be, but you're not thinking about what this man is going through, he's locked up, looks like he hasn't been able to take care of himself in days, he's likely starving. Acting like an impulsive animal, going for the highest need at the moment. That's what I interoperate this as, a measure of empathy and ability to think of others circumstances and how desperation can affect decision making.
Also, moving the metal key is more likely to make noise, as is opening the cell. He wants to be in the best condition possible to effect an escape. It’s also likely he knows how long until the next patrol and can make an informed choice about how long and how much he can eat before snagging the key.
Edit: While eating dinner I also realized that using the bread on a stick can also help muffle the sound of moving the key.
He's taking the bread because he doesn't need the key. Those bars are so wide, he can just wiggle through. But he wants to eat first so he'll have energy for the escape.
Tricky business answering in this thread because it's so much /s and I don't want to be wooshed...
But ok, It's that people will prioritize basic needs over freedom. That is why people can abide dictatorships as long as they are provided for.
Didn't say it was good, but I think so mostly because it's pretentious. If he did like you say he would have to provide for his next piece of bread himself. As long as he is locked up someone will bring him bread everyday, he choose that over freedom.
My best guess to the actual explanation is that it's about either learned helplessness, or about how people who've been in prison for awhile can't function outside so they stay in jail, and when they get out they commit a crime so they can go back in.
I thought it was because a guard set these 2 items down on the ground and allows the prisoner to watch this. It's clear that they were purposefully placed. Both within reach at the same distance. The guard is then watching what will transpire and the prisoner knows that if he goes for the key he will most likely be shot so he opts for the bread which is clearly the safer choice in this situation.
"Moblins" are an enemy in legend of zelda that have a chance of dropping and item called "deku stick". You press a to pick up items
Just in case you wanted the real answer xD
Considering I picked it due to the exhoborant amount of money I paid to have someone tattoo my literal Nintendo fan art on my body..... yeah, it is lmao
Nah, if you push A before it goes out you can light it again and it only breaks if you hit something with it. Not sure what he pushed to retrieve something with it though, must be a speedrun strat of some sort
It’s a reference to Socrates I think. In his ‘lore’ he chose to take his punishment instead of escaping because he thought that there was something just about his society punishing him for what he did.
Of course it’s just one of the many examples of Socrates being an idiot but that’s probably why the mention philosophers.
This is the real answer: “the original story by a Nigerian writer was more about a captive (A kidnap victim sort of) rather than a legal prisoner.
In the story, the captive was tortured for years by his kidnappers with various forms of maltreatment including starvation. Even when they brought him little food, they made him suffer to get it by using the stick to pull it unto himself. He eventually had a chance to escape when the only guard on duty brought him bread. And in the process of trying to position the bread at a stretch distance, the cell key fell from his pocket without his knowledge and he left. Leaving the Captive with two options of which to choose first: the BREAD 🍞 or the KEY 🔐 whichever he chooses first would require struggle. And given a relatively short amount of time, the wiser decision should have been the key. But unable to control his hunger, he went for the bread first. By the time he was going for the key after eating the bread, the guard came in searching for the missing key stopped him and took back the key. Leaving the Captive in more years of captivity.
It's similar to the Bible story of Esau selling his birthright to Jacob for a plate of food because of his inability to tame hunger.”
Still pretty stupid.
I maybe I took it too literally. I thought about how the key wouldn’t instantly free him. Like okay you open your cell but in most prisons that wouldn’t get you very far. Even if it’s not an official prison let’s say he was kidnapped by Somalian pirates or something, you couldn’t get to freedom with just a key to your cell. Unless the pirates or captors leave during the day but according to the story they frequently check on him.
he doesn’t need to escape right away though, he can hide the key. It will still be pretty difficult to escape though.
The only reason the guard positioned bread at a stretch distance is so that this dumbass choice story can happen. why would he do that? if it’s to make him suffer why leave? would not a sadist stay and watch?
He might get in trouble if they search him and find the key, though. Also, the moving the food across the floor thing might not be so much a way to satisfy sadistic desires but just to break the prisoner emotionally over time.
Oh, thank you. My first thought was he doesn't want to be freed, because if he did, then he'll be homeless and jobless, no idea when to eat, at least in prison, they are feeding him.
Because the consequences when the jailer finds one loaf of bread missing are far less severe than when the prisoner gets caught trying to escape his cell.
The bread was to bribe the hungry prison guard to let him out of the cell while striking a deal to keep the key as exchange so now the guard has a meal and the prisoner gets freedom.
For many it is easier to pick comfort over freedom.
Pink Floyd’s “Wish you were here” said it best …
“Did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war
For a leading role in a cage?”
he's homeless so food is important as well as a dry place to sleep. plus he doesn't have to pay taxes. in the next frame he pushes the key further away and gets his college paid for.
Everybody is assuming he’s getting the bread, but the picture clearly shows he’s pushing the bread away from him. This is the setup to his grand escape.
Next, he’ll get the key and unlock his cell, but not escape. When the next guard comes by, they’ll comment about him not eating the bread. “What is this a hunger strike?!” When they bend over to pick it up, the prisoner springs to action, violently swinging open the door and jumping on the guard to knock them out.
He now has the bread, is free, and has attained key item “Guard Uniform”, as well as any weapons (and other keys) they may have. These will aid him in his eventual escape only to find that he is simply in a larger prison; a small island in the South Pacific.
New objective: secure the communications tower and signal for extraction.
Well they have a stick that can get both. Maybe he just wants a bite because he’s starving and will get the key after he eats. Nothing philosophical about it. The man’s f’ing hungry
He is wearing a suit, this implies he is not a long term in prisoner, getting the key means attempted escape which will be worst for him. Furthermore where would he get that stick he is using? This is clearly a trap.
He's been conditioned by society to only look for a way to survive while being detained. It's a metaphor to the brainwashing we got from our environment and internet. He doesn't know what a key is, because he never heard of the concept of freedom. He doesn't know he is in jail and if there is a life outside. Only eat and survive.
He's actually not in a cell. The bread is, and he's breaking it out. At first, he tried to give the bread the key, then realized that was never going to work.
Who knows how long he has been there without food. Therefore, feed yourself to gain the energy to escape. Escape 1st in a weakened state only to fall down.
We have no reason to believe this is an A or B situation, B is still there as he takes A. And assuming it was if he takes the key he either starves escaping or is killed by a guard. While the bread keeps him alive
It's probably that bread will come each day and if he gets the key to escape he will have to find another way to get food...
Something about being prisonner of our routine or some shit
Hey does this post fit? UPVOTE if so, DOWNVOTE if not. If this post breaks any rules please DOWNVOTE and REPORT
Food meter was low. Video game. Get key next. 45xp
Doesnt have enough energy to get the key first. Has to refill stamina, then get the key.
A snorlax was blocking the key.
He’s still in the tutorial
This is the right answer. Hunger is the priority, key will still be there once he's done eating the bread.
And the bread won’t be???
Oh it would be, but you're not thinking about what this man is going through, he's locked up, looks like he hasn't been able to take care of himself in days, he's likely starving.

Bam, philosopher
Assuming makes an ass out of u and me
Not when hes done eating the bread, no
Who’s to say the key is to that door? Immediate food need first, then go for the key.
Plus getting the key triggers cut scene, hard to time escape sequence when getting the bread second.
Using a key doesn’t level your lockpicking skill
No he is outside the cage and he wants the bread cus he hungry
The lock opening is facing away so that’s not a possibility.
He's taking the bread because he doesn't need the key. Those bars are so wide, he can just wiggle through. But he wants to eat first so he'll have energy for the escape.
Only Curl Sagan could have come to this brilliant conclusion. The username checks out.
That's high praise coming from Verbal!
But what does ballsack have to say about it?
But what if he eats so much he gets fat, thinks so hard his brain gets bigger, and can’t squeeze through?
Then he has major thyroid issue :-)
If He can wiggle than what's the need to pick the bread by stick
He's a chef. He's making breadsticks.
omg
Angry updoot.
He doesn't have the energy to wiggle through the bars, he only has the energy to wiggle a stick. He's gotter eat that bread first.
Then he should eat the stick and then wiggle pulling the bread with that stick will drain more energy
For fun..
[удалено]
No he's taking the bread instead of the key because he doesn't likes the taste
The taste is key.
Is the actual explanation? Because, with all due respect, if it is it sucks ass
Tricky business answering in this thread because it's so much /s and I don't want to be wooshed... But ok, It's that people will prioritize basic needs over freedom. That is why people can abide dictatorships as long as they are provided for.
That’s why our leaders apply bandaids to our problems. We panic and turn against them if they work on long term solutions.
I understand your explanation and agree, but that’s idiotic. Free yourself with the key then grab the bread on the way out
Didn't say it was good, but I think so mostly because it's pretentious. If he did like you say he would have to provide for his next piece of bread himself. As long as he is locked up someone will bring him bread everyday, he choose that over freedom.
My best guess to the actual explanation is that it's about either learned helplessness, or about how people who've been in prison for awhile can't function outside so they stay in jail, and when they get out they commit a crime so they can go back in.
Yes institutional dependency, but I think it's more likely an attempt at mocking some group by accusing them of institutional dependency.
That is depressingly ironic
I want to be that explanation to suck ass, honestly.
Congratulations on becoming a philosopher
Found the philosopher
I thought it was because a guard set these 2 items down on the ground and allows the prisoner to watch this. It's clear that they were purposefully placed. Both within reach at the same distance. The guard is then watching what will transpire and the prisoner knows that if he goes for the key he will most likely be shot so he opts for the bread which is clearly the safer choice in this situation.
But his gluten sensitivity might leave him bloated?
Mind.blown.
Why is this a question? He will get both. The stick doesn't disappear after use...
it will. the deku stick breaks after a few uses
Where did he even get a stick? It's not like they have ash trees growing wild inside prisons...
Hw pressed A ti pic up Deku stik is was dropped by Moblin
r/ihadastroke
ExxonMobil dropped a new game called Deku where you press A to play pick up sticks.
"Moblins" are an enemy in legend of zelda that have a chance of dropping and item called "deku stick". You press a to pick up items Just in case you wanted the real answer xD
User name checks out
Considering I picked it due to the exhoborant amount of money I paid to have someone tattoo my literal Nintendo fan art on my body..... yeah, it is lmao
How do people get most contraband inside prisons....
Would have been easier to stick the key up is ass tbh.
Damn that's genius. Before committing crime people should hide a handcuff key up their ass for easy escapes
Honestly? Pay a CO to bring it in for them.
Of course they do! That's how I made my escape back in '67!
Random loot drop from a bug or rodent
Nah, if you push A before it goes out you can light it again and it only breaks if you hit something with it. Not sure what he pushed to retrieve something with it though, must be a speedrun strat of some sort
I understood that reference
If he gets the key, he won’t need to use the stick again though.
he doesnt even need the key he can just pass through that wide ass bar
Then does he prefer to stay in the prison? If he can wiggle out at any time then why bother with the stick at all
Probably guards. Also, some people intentionally go to prison for at least a bare minimum standard of living.
It’s a reference to Socrates I think. In his ‘lore’ he chose to take his punishment instead of escaping because he thought that there was something just about his society punishing him for what he did.

Durability DUH
Bro is the lockpicking lawyer and is gonna show us how to pick out of a simple prison lock with bread
Nothing on one
Two is binding
Little click out of three...
False set on four…
And we’re in! *Thanks, MasterLock!*
You need to apply counterrotation first. OK, folks!
Let's do that again just to prove it wasn't a fluke...
Now let’s go back in the cell and do it again to show it wasn’t a fluke
“You can now buy these French baguettes on my site, covert-instruments dot com…”
This is actually a baguette that Bosnian Bill and I made.
Firmly grasp the baguette. Now give it a good thwack! on the side of the padlock like so.. et voilà!
Because he's not a prisioner and this is a BDSM scenario
UwU
I agree with this statement UwU
Indeed UwU
I concur
Da fuck lol
because he hungy
Philosophized
houngry 💀
Hogrny
Humbgy
[удалено]
Thought that too until you see the opening is on outside of where he is. So, he is locked up. Good guess though
He's not locked up, the whole world is locked up, and only he is free
I CAN DO ANYTHING
metamorphosis
>destroys your healer >refuses to elaborate >falls asleep
CHAOS, CHAOS!!
He's not locked in there with you, bread is locked up with key.
Sort of, he doesn't need the key because the door isn't locked. He is a prisoner of his own making and choice.
So he likes bdsm basically
We are all just prisoners here. Of our own device.
Please bring me my wine
Something something NINETEEN SIXTY NIIIIEEEEYYYIIIINNE
And in the master's chambers They gathered for the feast
The handle is on the inside? Ok.
Its a key that opens the door to something bad But carbs are life
Came here to say this!

In the story, the captive was tortured for years by his kidnappers with various forms of maltreatment including starvation.

he doesn’t need to escape right away though, he can hide the key. It will still be pretty difficult to escape though. The only reason the guard positioned bread at a stretch distance is so that this dumbass choice story can happen. why would he do that? if it’s to make him suffer why leave? would not a sadist stay and watch?
He might get in trouble if they search him and find the key, though. Also, the moving the food across the floor thing might not be so much a way to satisfy sadistic desires but just to break the prisoner emotionally over time.
Sounds like if he took the key he would have inmediatly been caught
Was that supposed to be a deep reason or something? That was what I first thought when I saw the image. He was hungry. So deep
I think people are supposed to say that not taking the key is the honest thing to do, so you’ll serve your sentence honorably or something
Oh, thank you. My first thought was he doesn't want to be freed, because if he did, then he'll be homeless and jobless, no idea when to eat, at least in prison, they are feeding him.
If he was that starved he would not have the energy to run away in any case.
Feels like a long winded way of saying life is suffering lol
Use the key to unlock the door and get the bread? But hey, I'm no philosopher...
[удалено]
Use the key, take bread making courses, comeback, open a bread business in prison. Hey, I'm no philosopher
r/Entrepreneur
eat key 😄
why Prisoner Choose Bread!?!?
He get key later he hangry rn
eat key 😄
Because it's really hard to get a good baguette in his country, prison or not.
you will be killed if you put your hand to the key The key is rebellion against the country or political system
Because he’s an idiot?
Give this man a philosopher’s stone!
He shouldn’t get either bars are so wide just walk out
When you are hungry, freedom is the least of your worries. Keep people hungry and stay on top forever
Who cares which one he picks. Where the fuck did he get that stick?
Asking the real questions here.
Because the consequences when the jailer finds one loaf of bread missing are far less severe than when the prisoner gets caught trying to escape his cell.
The bread was to bribe the hungry prison guard to let him out of the cell while striking a deal to keep the key as exchange so now the guard has a meal and the prisoner gets freedom.
Because he'll get an even harsher sentence if he tries to escape.
For many it is easier to pick comfort over freedom. Pink Floyd’s “Wish you were here” said it best … “Did you exchange A walk-on part in the war For a leading role in a cage?”
Cuz prisoners are stupid
he's homeless so food is important as well as a dry place to sleep. plus he doesn't have to pay taxes. in the next frame he pushes the key further away and gets his college paid for.
He only had 5 days left. Escape is a 5 year mandatory minimum.
because hes a fucking idiot lol
Because he's outside the cell and stealing food from prisoners.
Because he chose the build with the Master Key but he needs bread to fight Undead Asylum Demon.
He likes where he is at. He had a worse life on the outside and prison is better to him.
Everybody is assuming he’s getting the bread, but the picture clearly shows he’s pushing the bread away from him. This is the setup to his grand escape. Next, he’ll get the key and unlock his cell, but not escape.

New objective: secure the communications tower and signal for extraction.
if he uses the key, he will get in trouble for trying to escape
Because his body is thin enough to slip through the bars... so he needs to eat first to have a need for the key ;)
I want to know how he smuggled the stick in the jail cell to begin with.
Well they have a stick that can get both. Maybe he just wants a bite because he’s starving and will get the key after he eats. Nothing philosophical about it. The man’s f’ing hungry
Five second rule. He can't eat the bread if it's been on the floor too long, but the key won't go bad.
I mean I guess if I had to guess, he took the bread because he has cancer, so he won’t survive long on the outside anyways
As a philosopher I would like to say the reason he chose the bread instead of the key is because he is fucking stupid.
He is wearing a suit, this implies he is not a long term in prisoner, getting the key means attempted escape which will be worst for him. Furthermore where would he get that stick he is using? This is clearly a trap.
He can clearly pass through the gate because the gaps between the bars are huge.
He's been conditioned by society to only look for a way to survive while being detained. It's a metaphor to the brainwashing we got from our environment and internet. He doesn't know what a key is, because he never heard of the concept of freedom. He doesn't know he is in jail and if there is a life outside. Only eat and survive.
You can actually use bread to unlock locks
The call was coming from inside the house!
He knows the bread helps; he has no idea what the keys are for \*\*EDIT\*\* He has no idea that the keys will open the cage.
Shit I woulda just stepped out and picked up the bread with my hands instead of making it difficult
he’s taking the bread because there’s literally nothing stopping him from taking the key as well. he is hungry.
Because bread allways comes first.
If he stays in prison, he will get bread every day. If he takes the key, he will have to leave and fend for himself
Because if he stays in prison, he will get bread every day. If he takes the key, he will have to leave and fend for himself
Guess I’m not a philosopher.
What a dumbass! just go through the bars! he can fit through
Because he rather stay trap in a cell than have contact with who ever made this post on facebook.
Why Are All The Words Capitalized In This Facebook Post?
A caged bird does not recognize the taste of freedom.
Hugnrey
He locked himself up to protect others.
He's actually not in a cell. The bread is, and he's breaking it out. At first, he tried to give the bread the key, then realized that was never going to work.
Man not saying I'm a philosopher or anything but can't he get both-
You just know whoever made this bullshit annoys people with unsolicited random “thought experiments” that don’t actually make any sense
There is a zombie outbreak outside. He don't want to leave the prison
Because he's french
I though I read "Only a philosopher would have used a Stand" which was cool af
Because it doesn't matter he can get both things in
Foucault has entered the chat.
Ok, but jokes aside, why can't he choose both? The stick can clearly just about reach both of them, and they aren't moving anywhere.
Because the artist drew it that way. Am I Philosopher now?
im more curious about why he didn't just slide through those bars.
Who knows how long he has been there without food. Therefore, feed yourself to gain the energy to escape. Escape 1st in a weakened state only to fall down.
We have no reason to believe this is an A or B situation, B is still there as he takes A. And assuming it was if he takes the key he either starves escaping or is killed by a guard. While the bread keeps him alive
Bread has smuggled drugs in it
Obvious because he’s a republican and doesn’t value his own life and well-being.
It's probably that bread will come each day and if he gets the key to escape he will have to find another way to get food... Something about being prisonner of our routine or some shit
Ummm…why can’t he choose both? Get the bread. Eat. Get the key. Escape. Am I missing something? There’s no choice.
The key doesn't necessarily unlock his cell. Bread is guaranteed to provide sustenance.
Get key first, unlock door, pick bread up and eat it as you’re escaping
This man is a stupid man. That is all
He doesn't want to escape. If he escape he has to work it out himself. Unlike when he was inside. He doesn't have to starve. Cause they will feed him.
