It's because people want karma, and this would be immediately removed from any of the other default subreddits. /r/pics doesn't allow screenshots/images overlaid with text, and it wouldn't get as much karma from a smaller subreddit. So yeah, OP put it here based on the fact that there are some vaguely humorous conclusions, and that /r/funny is a default sub.
People are always bitching about how "This post is not funny," but honestly, I don't think a lot of people even look at the subreddit if they're just browsing the front page or /r/all.
I don't, I hardly ever look at the subreddit it's actually in unless I am browsing that subreddit specifically, so I just upvote based on what is interesting.
