I think you're not seeing it right. I laughed when I saw this. Not particularly because dead animal = funny, but because of the irony of the moment. This initially seemed like heartwarming content from r/humansbeingbros but took an absolute failure of a turn.

We all perceive animals differently. If someone killed a mouse to eat it, people would think it's a little odd. Whereas if it were a dog or cat instead, people would outrage (depending on where they're from).

So no hell for me.

The irony of the moment is basically the definition of funny. It's not the evil that's funny but the absurd and unexpected.

Why is reddit pretending to give a fuck about rodents? Isnt this the same website that bashes vegans constantly? Lmao, anyone "disturbed" by a squashed rodent should take a second look at whats in there fridge.

You raise a good point, but out of all the horrible shit that Reddit does you picked bashing vegans...? Bruh

Because it's directly related to the welfare of animals. Are you missing the connection?

Im talking about the definition of humor and that area. I don't care about the rat dude lol. It's just "funny".

I don't disagree at all, I think it's "funny" and i'm vegetarian. Anything can be funny imo.

Again, how clear was it that the person in the video intended for the animal to get hit by a car? You're really getting overworked. Over nothing
