Gaslit about beans (self.nowhereelsetoshare)

I saw a post referencing Lemmy's "obsession with beans" and it made me think of this.

Despite narwhals and bacon becoming something you say sarcastically to make fun of redditors for the past 10+ years, some users here tried to make "beans" the Lemmy equivalent and for a week or two, half the posts here were about beans....then it thankfully stopped.

Since then I've seen a handful of bean references but a significantly larger amount of references to bean references.

Beans were a blip in the Lemmy timeline and i's like gaslit us into thinking Lemmy is actually obsessed with beans. The posts/comments get upvoted but...where are the beans?

Just thought that was kinda funny.

I don’t think anyone is gaslighting. We just went through an upsurge. There will always be some sort of beans resent bc they’re hilarious and cross-cultural.

I LOVE beans. I mean I feel like I'm being gaslit into thinking beans are still some Lemmy in-joke when the short-lived fad died a year ago

It’s always there, bubbling under the surface like a pot of simmering beans.

Be careful. You might Streisand-effect your way into a resurgence.

That would be fine, I don't mind either way. I just think it's kind of funny.

Remember how we all love to joke about beans?? Right, guys? Right?
