Kant and the Unfindable Punchline

ALRIGHT SO i'm pretty sure there is a joke to make here about Kant and things-in-themselves, but i've been staring at this picture for like 20 minutes trying to come up with a punchline so instead i'll just give you this meta-ironic caption have a nice evening

A blurry plate of chocolate-covered pastries and beans is presented with a caption about trying to invent a philosophical joke involving Kant and things-in-themselves. The punchline is that there is no punchline: the caption openly acknowledges its own failure and turns that failure into meta-ironic humor.
