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.
!lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world is protesting (US) political memes
Hardpore corn.
USA news slop over-exposure protest. Very reddit-like behavior to shove USA politics into every fucking community so I agree.
Corn
I did some research and I believe it's about Zea mays
Bring back the Beans!!!
Winter is setting in and people are getting corny because outside sucks right now.
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 :)
Cob.
Yes
In Cob we trust!
Kids being kids.
Silly people being extra silly. I don't approve but they could be doing meth instead so I guess it could be worse? 🤷
About 6-7
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.
