Also a demonstration of the true backbone of social media: shitposters.

Unironically. Just look how shitposting pretty much keeps Tumblr alive these days

I’m on these platforms for the shitposts.

The cool/relevant/newsworthy information is just a handy little side bonus.

PLEASE tell me where to go. !shitposting isn’t cutting it right now and I need my dopamine hits of shit

I mean lemmyshitposts on Lemmy.world is where I’m seeing the most but I’m new here and don’t really know how to write that out.

Search for 195 and 196

Right? I’ve got the actual news for actual news, really, and the bonus of getting some here is nice but shitposting is where it’s at.

Memes spreading like some kind of bean virus!

Beanary code travels exceptionally well via fiber networks.

This made me fucking cackle for some reason 😂

Agreed! I was mildly pleased by some of the bean memes, but this kind of clever but absurd wordplay really flicks my bean.

Can someone TL;DR the beans? I slept last night and woke up to Lemmy just being beans… wtf.

There was a post about a can of beans yesterday… literally just that. “Here’s a can of beans”… since then, the beans have taken over 😅

I think the point of this shower thought is a good one though: despite not being centralized, the beans still spread in a very reddit-like fashion…

This is great! This is the kind of wacky behavior that generates personality, community, media coverage, interest and curiosity, As ironic as it is, I think this is a milestone for the fediverse.

It’s also the beginnings of a collective conscious which means the fediverse is inching towards a critical mass of some sort.

I’m pretty sure Reddit back in its frontier days had several wacky trends take over.

Just my opinion but I’m loving it and I think it’s a good thing,

It’s a great indication when a social network gets large enough to meme. That’s why people care and are actively making original content for a change. It’s a great sign!

I can’t upvote your shit. Server too overloaded. Another great sign.

Here’s an up arrow to show my support.

⬆️

If lemmy.world is too overloaded you can’t even vote, that’s definitely a sign to create an account on a smaller instance. Best part of Lemmy is you can make an account on a different server and subscribe to all the same content

TL;DR Mr. Bean fought spez in a 1vs1 cage fight so now bean is the new hero.

Did Musk and Zuckerberg do their thing already, or is that still on?

Yes they had their coming out and adopted their first child together. It’s called X Æ A-12

Top of all time post on lemmy is now about beans.

this is the post: https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/post/559757

I’ve seen nothing about beans what’s wrong with me

Oh sweet child… you’re missing out. The beans got me.

As soon as I posted that comment all the bean posts started appearing.

They’re listening.

Ideas can be shared over the internets

Thanks to its nature of being a series of tubes.

Tubes containing beans, of course

Of course. That’s the entire reason behind it. To feed the beans!

As long as the beans can spread, Lemmy is safe
