Who started this ridiculous trend where the fucking words letters are substituted with symbols or numbers. Sex. Why can’t sex be written? I’ve seen it with tons of other words too but can’t remember the which ones.
It sorta makes sense on overly censored social media platforms but what, that’s an article on their own personally managed website? That’s bizarre
Advertisers avoid placing ads in controversially named pages. They are likely protecting their income
Because modern journalism is ad supported, and advertisers don’t want their ads next to anything related to sex.

Now all that’s needed is a centralized web location to connect those scantily clad ladies seeking corn with those willing to spill their beans.
A cornhub, if you will.
Bravo!
Same here. Was just about to post it in both threads lol
Why are ‘beans’ and ‘corn’ in quotes there? Are they euphemisms for something else?
Sometimes quotes are ‘wrongly’ used for emphasis.
You beans and corn. You brought her here.
I’m Captain Jenks of the Horse Marines
I feed my whores on corn and beans
I often live beyond my means
I’m a captain in the Army!
This sounds like the worst rap lyric of all time.
And we’ve already had “rest in peace my granny she got hit by a bazookal
They don’t call it the oldest trade in the world for nothing
Flashbacks to 2023 Lemmy
Start the bean machines!
Never trust a hooker trying to sell you corn…or…hear me out…Hanna on 35th! She’s got the best corn!
Is anyone else here enough of a 90’s kid to remember the TBS show Dinner and a Movie? The theme song for it just popped into my head. Doot, doo do beans and cornbread doot doo do beans and cornbread.
Might just be a weakness if currency. Or availability crisis. Usually the value of food stuffs is much lower than the service of a prostitute.
The screenshot is way to little information to go in any direction.
I like the pictures of corn and peas in the meme in case we can only understand by image
good, more trading of things.
Definitely not, it’s bad for the most vulnerable portion of society to not have access to money. You can’t pay rent or a doctor with corn and beans.
You can pay for prostitutes, which means the situation is dire. Doctors can probably be bargained with in this scenario if you have the beans to pay.
You can. People used to pay in cigarettes, too.
The worth of food being high enough for this to be plausible, that’s the issue. Also food has a very stable value.
I went down to the corn-chemical exchange bank, and gave em 2 ears a corn, and they gave me 2 beakers a chemicals!
They would still spend that money on food, so avoiding a middle man is probably smart.
just need some rice and you got a healthy balanced diet for a family of everyone
Two grains?! That’s not balanced.
you gotta look at the amino acids and shit. mostly shit.

Seems like like this could be rephrased as: people driven into prostitution to avoid starvation.

Something like this could be rephrased as: economy is so bad that no one has money for sex.

Not that I’ve always gotten as much sex as I wanted, but I’ve never needed money for it.

Yep. Sad stuff.
