It’s a phase, so I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
Remember a week ago it was not pooping for 3 days? Something else will take the place of beans eventually.
Worked a 12 hour, basically on standby. All I had was my phone with 3 other dudes… The bean memes are getting to me xD
Woah people are pooping again? Thank God my stomach has been upset
No karma to speak of yet still so much karma whoring
Karma got nothing to do with it. It’s all about being at the top of the pile.
Before Reddit and Digg, it was all about trying to get first comment on Slashdot.
Top of the pile (of tins of baked beans)
Last!
Considerably less annoying than John Oliver tbf
I don’t think we’ve even hit 24 hours yet.
There’s a hole everybody’s in a rush to fill. On Reddit there’s those old classic posts/threads that we could all refer back to whenever it seemed relevant. Broken arms, what’s new pussycat ect. Always someone new would ask what the deal was, and somewhere down that thread you’d find the link so you could revisit it again like an old friend. So far we have… beans.
You’re selling Lemmy short. Lemmy’s got beans, AND the 3 days no pooping.
I stand corrected. We have beans and poop
No. No poop.
It hasn’t bean a few days, the original beans post was about 24hrs old when this was posted
Agreed. The bean meme memes are where it’s at now

I don’t care for the bean memes, but hey, it’s making a few people happy haha. I’m for that.
It’s generating content and clicks. Which is INCREDIBLY important for a social media. The content doesn’t have to be good, and obviously Lemmy isn’t the same as Reddit or other social media in terms of value of upvotes, or algorithms. However it’s important for USERS to see content that’s fresh hitting the front page. Even if it’s the same topic and shitposting. This helps attract other creators which in turn brings more users. It’s the shit circle of (social) life.
They’re getting a bit overplayed at this point maybe. But they’re driving engagement on this site and engagement is the key to growth so I say have at it you beanie bois
I saw a post yesterday where someone said something to the effect of “I heard Lemmy will upvote anything here’s a can of fucking beans” and I found it kind of funny. Was that actually part of a running joke? I haven’t seen any other reference to beans. Before or since.
It wasn’t originally intended to be a running joke, but it become one.
It is stupid, but it hasn’t even been a day. It will be fine.
