Oh I was under no impression that it was Lemmy related. We could only hope for someone that high-profile to give us a shoutout.

Sorry to disappoint, Hank Bean is from his app, not from lemmy getting popular enough to for the shitpost community to leak out

I mean, no. Hank has been doing the literal beans meme for years. It’s the same beans meme that’s been circling on lemmy. It’s not unique to lemmy. The memes share a common ancestor, they’re not direct ancestors either way (Hank to Lemmy or Lemmy to Hank).
Same with the Hank Bean thing. This isn’t a reference to that or vice-versa. They share a common ancestor.
I believe beans have been circulating in nerdfighteria since the 2021 P4A, though it could be 2019.
