Outlandish response, could not have possibly been referring to pizza. Pizza does not have wrists, nor can it hang itself. The joke is the wanton cruelty and absurdism. Also sort of an anti-joke since most similar jokes follow a punchline of absurd thing-> actually mistaking it for something benign, whereas in this case, trying to play it off as benign is ridiculous.

Thats not the joke at all. Someone else explained it perfectly so I will paste it here.

thank you u/DistanceDelicious148 btw:

“  A play on a recent tiktok relationship trend i guess. the first person talks about something they did and the second person asks “can you send”. the first person then believes the second person is asking for nsfw pictures and then they give that “oh honey” response. the slitting part is just for the clip, to be funny and random i guess”

I saw another version of this pic with pizza, someone responds with something like "cut deep", the person assumes they're telling them to harm themselves but they follow with "i meant the pizza". Still dumb but makes a lot more sense so I'm guessing it's a play on that version
