Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:

It's basically like an ellipsis. The punchline has been delivered, that this "game" is just imprisonment, but to actually describe imprisonment, you'd need a lot more sentences.
It is interesting, that it doesn't use "...".
I guess, you'd write "..." when a thought is somewhat complete, whereas here, it's specifically a run-on sentence that's being cut off.
The punchline goes a bit further than just imprisonment, see the Stanford Prison Experiment
I think this is called aposiopesis
