We at lemmyshitpost are corn protesting against the political (US) posts. It’s a corn uprising🌽🌽🌽

Sorry if I've ever done it. I think I mostly keep it to the news/politics section, but it may have spilled over elsewhere. I know it's destroying my mental state completely. I've tried to stay quiet about it, it was even worse.

Remember when surreal memes started getting big and people acted like memes were just going to get more and more surreal until they're completely incomprehensible to the outside observer? Then ten years later it turns out the memes are just beans, corn, and the numbers 6, 7.

...people acted like memes were just going to get more and more surreal until they're completely incomprehensible...

I mean, as far as I can tell, it basically happened and this is the result. I'm happy for the new generation of memers. They've made it their own and I'm totally for it

the shitpost subs and lemmy in general have become too trumpypoliticallyfaux-newsy.
Corn is the allegorical metaphor wrapped like a simile.

But do you have your ID for verification?

I mean you do need that to watch corn in the US now.

Protesting against Americans spreading their shit everywhere by posting corn memes until a rule changes.

Edit: on the main lemmyshitpost community

I see.

I just block posts that mentions trump, elon musk and white house.

Then it's very balanced.

BootLoop@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 269d (1 reply)

That helps but it doesn't solve the problem, particularly on meme pages where it's image only and the text filters don't work.

In not aiming for 100% just balanced

And why does my neighbor keep leaving ears of corn covered in chocolate in his mailbox?

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 269d

That's not chocolate. It's carob.

I think a way to microwave corn on the cob went viral on tik tok or something. My partner insisted we make it last night. Even tho corn is hellla out of season. It was corn.
