You forgot dean and jeans

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 133 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (7 children)

I think it's fair to call me an elder lemming at this point, as I recall the reasons for both. I signed up on .world with my first account on the last day before the infamous APIocalypse.

Along with myself, a lot of us were putting effort into posting good stuff, upvoting, and generally having a lot of positive interactions. Someone on !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world posted a picture with a can of beans with a caption along the lines of "I hear that lemmy will upvote anything. Here's a picture of beans". It quickly became the most upvoted post of all time.

As lemmy culture developed into a deeply political space, it began flooding !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world with American politics. People got sick of it, and people started doing "we're posting x now until politics stops". There had been a couple rounds of various themes, and then someone announced "that's it, I'm sick of politics everywhere. We're posting corn". Cornposting has become the default political purge over there.

Thanks for the explanation! I didn't use to check Lemmy frequently up until recently, so the cornposting has always been this strange thing i saw sometimes, but never understood it. Now it makes sense

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We also did it with vans for some reason. So throw that in your history notes.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I remember a small jeans era as well

[–] Minarble@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago

Sometimes the beans were in jeans.

[–] Maroon@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

to call me an elder lemming at this point,

Looks at profile age: 1 years 4 months.

Me (2 years 7 months): Huh, guess I'll just take my prehistoric ass out of here and go chip flints.

[–] TerHu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

well, they said their first account was on .world, and the one you checked the age of is on blahaj. so, an age discrepancy is to be expected.

[–] Maroon@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Ah, clearly age has affected my ability to read and comprehend. Thanks for correcting me.

Goes back to flint knapping

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I guess I’m from before time (3y).

[–] Dvixen@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We're old like dirt.

Or beans. Old like beans.

Wait, there was a time before every post and comment chain became political? Sounds magical.

I joined when everyone was competing about holding their poop in as much as possible

Butternut.

Lol!

Lemmy just loves bean corny

[–] xkbx@startrek.website 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

have you never beheld a sweet, buttered cob

[–] mamg22@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Is holding such a cob the path to enlightenment? If so, then I shall find one and hold it dearly

[–] Zombie@feddit.uk 22 points 2 months ago

Two of the pinned memes on slrpnk memes tells you exactly why we all love corn and beans!

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We are simple farmers around here, the common clay of the internet.

[–] showmeyourkizinti@startrek.website 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ya know, ~~Morons~~ Shitposters.

[–] PodPerson@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 months ago

Where all the white corn at?

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago
[–] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I was sick of seeing political stuff on the shitposting group so I started bombarding it with corn until it stopped. I had happened to have a bunch of corn pictures saved on my phone because I had flooded my friend's discord with corn pictures just to goof on her.

It spiraled into a glorious corn filled nightmare insanity, and as someone from Ohio, I appreciate that.

I think the beans came up later because people like to play with themes.

[–] Magnum@infosec.pub 8 points 2 months ago (10 children)

No? The beans came before the corn...

Everyone loves corn it’s got the juice

[–] Little1Lost@gehirneimer.de 8 points 2 months ago

about the beans: look for top all time
After the wave of newcomers lowered lemmy started to have some "weekly" phases where other memes became the meta like the german pedalo or moths and many others.

But as a moth fren i bring some moth memes back from time to time :)

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

From what I hear corn "is good enough and its got the juice"

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

"I LOVE CORN" -that kid that loves corn

Is corn and beans succotash?

[–] charokol@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I’ve been on Lemmy for a whole day and I’ve literally never heard anybody referenced corn and beans

[–] btsax@reddthat.com 6 points 2 months ago (3 children)

If someone could also explain why half the post titles have the word "rule" in them, that would also be helpful

[–] SacralPlexus@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Disclosure: I don’t know the full lore and I’m only answering because nobody else has.

My vague understanding is that this is unique to the ‘196’ community which has a community rule that every post must include the word “rule” in the title post. So it’s super common to see because it’s an active community. Beyond that I don’t really understand what the community is about as it seems to have a random variety of posts.

First I'm hearing about this. I guess Lemmy will lose their mind when they learn about Kenyan githeri

[–] SillyMe@piefed.social 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

were you around on reddit when they were obsessed with bacon and narwhals? this is basically the equivalent but for lemmy. if you were not around for that I don't know how to explain it to you.
