A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Why would shitposting on Lemmy, get people to switch back to Reddit, a site famous for shitposting?
Beanposting seems to be a pretty organic meme rising out of the fact that Lemmy is pretty new and people don’t really mind shitposts yet because there is such good content on Lemmy since the community hasn’t grown too large yet
Seems more like Lemmy users are building up a mythology. "I was there in the early days. Remember poop and beans?"
Lemmy needs a Streetlamp Le Moose story right about now to really help us settled in and feel at home. If you have not heard the legendary tale, it's worth a read.
You've been in the shower too long, friend.
If you stay in long enough, your brain gets pruney too.
Yeah, you'd end up with a wrinkly brain. Gross!
Smooth brains for the win!
maybe we just like beans bro
The children yearn for the beans
Imagine thinking shutposts are repulsive. They are literally only in one community, block it if you don't like it. Jesus Christ!
Doubt it. It's just dumb low effort posting over here trying to force inside jokes on Lemmy. I blocked all of that sort of stuff back in the day on Reddit, and I blocked it here too.
Damn bean counters
In what way would these bean memes make people go back to Reddit? "Go back to reddit. They don't have beans?" There are beans there too.
I'm not really into beans and shitposting, but I don't mind my feed flooded (yet) because it's always good to see people being active and having fun.
The bean shit made me feel like this place had become more comfortable as it just reminded me of shit we did on Reddit. It was funny.
I just blocked the sub. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Reddit had Narwhals and bacon, lemmy has Poop and Beans
Truly a site of the people
The poop beans at noon.
Naw, I think people had fun. It might be annoying but it's a good thing. Meta humor means people are invested.
>make people like to stay on lemmy due to the maymays
>Somehow this makes them gb2 rebbit
>Profit??
I don’t hate the beans
No.
I was gonna post that this place becoming Reddit in the worst way, bean posting being in my mind. Hadn't considered this.
Still, an easy way to find out if this conspiracy is true is by checking who upvoted those posts.
The greedy little pig and his crownies may be dumb, but I think they would have better ways to get people to return to reddit if they wanted. Rotting a webpage using shitposts from an already rotten webpage with shitposts is not smart.
I hate the "rule" shit people are throwing in post titles more than the beans
Then block them.
I blocked all the 'rule' communities. 197s or whatever. Fastest way is do a search and just block all the active looking ones
Thanks! Wish there was an easier way to do it but that'll do for now

I'll take your beans if you don't want them.

Beans are Lemmy's narwhal bacon midnight.
Why would you go back to reddit? There's no beans there.
So that's what people have bean doing
I see a bunch of people talking about the beans, but I actually have yet to see a bean post. Where are people seeing all of these posts coming from?
I have a feeling that you may have invited it yourselves by joining a bunch of meme and shitposting communities. You shouldn't really be surprised if you end up seeing a bunch of memes and shitposts.
The bean posts have died down after around 36 hours. I've seen a few today compared to them being everywhere 24 hours ago here lol
I like beans so it's not working on me
I think it's funny
Bean posting is the most reddit thing I have seen on lemmy in the month I've been watchingb
