The joke is that Satania snapped the chopsticks incorrectly, even if they have an apparent shape.
This is an example of 割り箸 (waribashi, lit. "splitting chopsticks")

Is it even possible to split a piece of wood along its length? – Michael Oct 20 '22 at 13:26

@Michael yes, I also tried it while writing this answer, and it didn't need that much strength to split along its length. – Aki Tanaka Oct 20 '22 at 14:54
