Why is my home feed on lemmy and kbin filled with posts about beans? Where did this recent obsession come from?

    Don’t question it, just enjoy it. You are now part of the greater Lemmy world. In five years you can break out the ‘I have been on Lemmy since the bean incident’ and all the originals will sound off with you while the new lemmings won’t get the inside joke.

    You belong now.

    I think it’s mostly, if not completely (at least on my end), coming from shitpost related communities.

    I’m seeing all of my bean posts specifically come from lemmyshitposts.

    Also random, but my city’s subreddit last year actually founded a bean club online and then had monthly IRL meet ups where they would bring bean cans to trade.

          Wefwef is opening your link as an external webpage instead of redirecting me to the post. That’s sad since one of the first response is about porotos con riendas, that’s a delicious dish.

            Unfortunately I’m still a Lemmy noob so I’m not familiar with link formatting to remain in-instance. Hopefully that’s something that gets automated under the hood in the coming weeks!

              No worries, noob here too, it worked eventually. I’m using a 3rd party app called Connect, and it doesn’t handle links well yet lol.

    Bean related memes have been around for a bit already in other corners of the internet. We’ve been graced with more bean memes. Enjoy!

    Beans are an excellent source of vegetable protein and minerals such as iron, magnesium and zinc. They are rich in folic acid, an element associated with the reduction of such birth defects as Spina Bifida, and they also protect against heart disease. Beans are also a good source of non-lactic calcium.

    I haven’t seen a single bean-related post. Perhaps you have not been minding your “block-all-memes” mandate. I hate memes and shitposts and block communities and posters that break through at every opportunity.
