corn, beans and squash are known as the three sisters
history will say they were roommates.
“best friends who slept in the same bed probably because it was cheaper to have only one bed”
Vegetable society was different back then.
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 :)
If someone could also explain why half the post titles have the word “rule” in them, that would also be helpful
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.
The 196 community has an (unenforced) rule that you must post every time you visit, so they’re posts that are following the rule.
I didn’t know that… I will fix that first thing tomorrow morning.
I’m Captain Jenks of the Horse Marines
I feed my horse on corn and beans
It’s earlyish internet culture not Lemmy borne
thufferin…
It used to be beans.
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.
seems like political shit ended up fertilizing good crops, then. :)
(btw i fully support breaking political content on non-political communities because it deters new users to the fediverse and also because it’s hella annoying, itchy even)
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
We also did it with vans for some reason. So throw that in your history notes.
I remember a small jeans era as well
Sometimes the beans were in jeans.
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.
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.
Ah, clearly age has affected my ability to read and comprehend. Thanks for correcting me.
Goes back to flint knapping
I guess I’m from before time (3y).
We’re old like dirt.
Or beans. Old like beans.
Did someone say beans? Old beans are still tasty
The moths freaked me out a bit. I bet that’s the next one
I miss the moths
Maybe we should start posting lamps
I was cracking up at the moths
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
Do you happen to know who won?
the promising one told there would be signs in case of failiure
Cornposting
I heard cornyposting was pretty popular
Corn is out. Squash is the it thing now!
stupid sexy squash
It’s like wearing nothing at all!
Butternut.
Lol!
Lemmy just loves bean corny
have you never beheld a sweet, buttered cob
Is holding such a cob the path to enlightenment? If so, then I shall find one and hold it dearly
Two of the pinned memes on slrpnk memes tells you exactly why we all love corn and beans!
We are simple farmers around here, the common clay of the internet.
Ya know,
MoronsShitposters.
Where all the white corn at?
