!lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world is protesting (US) political memes

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

lemmyshitpost is worried about their signal-to-noise ratio.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 28 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

currently the pinned post in !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

The rules are pretty much anything (within reason) goes, but at least one person is fed up with seeing news and politics on shitpost, so is protesting by posting corn shitposts. Some others are joining in, a couple are posting more news out of spite.

I didn't realize that was the reason. I thought it was something stupid like the bean thing, a holdover from Reddit. I shall start upvoting corn memes because I too am sick of political posts.

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I was assuming that in another month or 2, wed see squashposts, thus completing the 3 sisters triad of plants.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

USA news slop over-exposure protest. Very reddit-like behavior to shove USA politics into every fucking community so I agree.

Beans and cornbread.

Winter is setting in and people are getting corny because outside sucks right now.

[–] wabafee@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago

I see it's a sex joke?

[–] adry@piefed.social 7 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

not an explanation but since we are talking about the greatness of corn, let me share this little fact: according to mesoamerican civilization (or, at leas the Mayas' genesis) humans were made out of corn :)

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

I think i watched a documentary about that. It was called children of the corn.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

That would explain a lot.

Kids being kids.

Without giving any examples, I can only guess.

From what I've seen, corn is being used as a placeholder for porn because they rhyme.

If you mean something else... maybe give us more to go on. Without anything to go on... that's all I got. I haven't heard any others. Except, of course, puns like you see in the comments, but I think that's just based on you saying corn and them not having anything to go on, so they make puns. I'm not very good at them, and I feel like the best one (amaizing, for maize) has already been taken, so I'm not going to repeat or rework it.

Sometimes corn is just corn.
