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.
Dozens of uncut all-natural cobs, glistening wet with morning dew, get baled up with twine and roughly power-shucked by gruff steppe farmer while painfully shy waxy pole beans -- forced to watch until completion -- sway and shudder as they ripen in full public view #CAWB #rough-shucking #forced-voyeurism #BEANS
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 :)
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.

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

Ah. I thought this corn thing was pretty stupid and annoying. But now I am in support of it.

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

Huh, I had no idea. I just thought it was for fun like beans, jeans, and stroganoff. 🌽

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

Silly people being extra silly. I don't approve but they could be doing meth instead so I guess it could be worse? 🤷

Without giving any examples, I can only guess.
