Could someone try to parse why this is funny? I can't find the funny bone this is scratching right now.

    The spots on the screen are from radiation hitting the CCD. The rod is radioactive and says “DROP AND RUN”

        No, it's not a cinnamon stick. It's a bar of some kind of radioactive material that the photo taker has presumably mistaken for a cinnamon stick, implying they're dumb as hell (that's the joke). Honestly a miracle that they managed to write the question at all given that they seem to be illiterate when it comes to the warning label clearly printed on their "cinnamon" stick.

          Not high anymore. It finally processed for me that this is not actually a cinnamon stick. I thought it was supposed to be the cinnamon had some foul vibe that was manifesting that warning

            Absurdist zoomer memes have ruined us. Now all I want is an actual cinnamon stick deep fried 6 times with Ohio super imposed over it laughing. Same text.

      Iirc this specific image is a fake made as a joke but does show what would happen to a CCD in the presence of a radiation source.
