A while back someone posted a picture of beans on here and said they had heard Lemmy upvote anything. That post got popular, and the joke resurges periodically

We take a lot for granted these days and it can sometimes be hard to fathom what was like for the people that came before us. Did you know back in the early 1800’s that bean cultivation had yet to be perfected? Every bean plant would only grow a single bean. The bourgeois at the time would eat these lone legumes on tiny square pieces of toasted bread as hors d’oeuvres at high class parties. Marie Antoinette once went to a party wearing an entire boat on her head that would fire out single beans from its tiny canons at people as a show of her huge wealth and power.
It wasn’t until 1848 that John Dogecore (the farmer) cross pollinated several bean plants until he created a new crop that could grow hundreds of beans on a single plant. Suddenly a single bean on a slice of tiny toast was no longer the food of the rich and powerful, but the everyman. Out in his field, showcasing his first bumper crop of beans that year, John Dogecore (the farmer) spoke to reporters.
“No longer will a single bean be used as a symbol of the aristocracy. May every man women and child in this great nation eat a whole can of my beans on large pieces of toast before they fuck off into the coal mines. A belly full. A heart satiated. I grew these for the people, I grew these for you.” And with this he held out his fists and let his beans spill to the ground like rain.
After this historic moment, beans on toast became the staple food of the working class in Britain. Infant mortality dropped to an all time low as the often underfed and overworked working class of the nation could suddenly access a hearty, cheap meal.

I’m taking it as tongue in cheek, given the Welcome to Nightvale reference.

You’re correct in that they’re shit posts. It’s like 6-7. It’s a cue to go away for a few days until the kids get bored with it.

If there were ever a Lemmy get together in real life, one of us will probably bring some beans to it. Beans have staying power around here

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no.
I still remember the 2011 Reddit meetup, or whatever it was. Where they took a picture, and the girls were flashing their titties, and they were pouring beer all over the ground, and I swear there was an alternate picture besides the one that got famous, where the guy in the background was peeing on the driveway.
Can we please not do Lemmy meetups? I don’t feel confident that would be a good look for Lemmy.

That just sounds like Bobs Burgers. Where Gene was saving his poop for the Superbowl Halftime show. Medical problems ensued.

They’re the magical fruit
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I always just accepted everything as a kid, and just nodded along.
Haven’t thought about that little song in decades. But now, at age 42, I’m just now thinking “Hey, wait a minute! Beans aren’t fruits! What the hell…”
And I cannot for the life of me fathom how 5 year old me didn’t come to that conclusion. I just nodded. Yep. Magical fruit.

Iirc, fedi bean posting predates lemmy, but I have no idea where it comes from originally.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Usually they post baked beans. And that comes from Boston.
