As a white person I must upvote the beans.

Downvoted for misleading description: the beans aren't fucking. Not even snogging.

I think this is not only the most upvoted post on Lemmy, but beanposting effectively tested the network and worst case system performance by hitting the database from everywhere at the same time. The fact that Lemmy didn't go down is in itself an amazing feat considering it's never been tested at this scale before. Even if the servers are unstable it shows that the idea is sound.

Where is the traffic coming from? Everywhere, it's coming from everywhere!

Yeah you think this is just a can of fucking beans when in fact what we are looking at here is a socio political commentary on the state of late stage capitalism. Which is in fact a long arse way of stating the simple fact that who the fuck can afford branded beans in this day and age.

To be fair, those are British-style baked beans.

I was born and raised in the US (and have returned there) but spent the last 4 years living in London, and British beans in tomato sauce are very different from American baked beans in BBQ sauce. Both have their charms, but British beans are basically a breakfast food as main, American beans are a BBQ side-dish. Beans on Toast is a wonderful British breakfast, but Americans haven't heard of it, and those who have might turn their nose up at it.

Very different cultures, and so much we can learn about multiculturalism for one can of baked beans - no, one picture of a can of baked beans.

So, yeah, I think it deserves and upvote.

This can of beans has become the most popular post, top quality content right here.

The blue cans are maple beans in Canada, and essential to chilli

Easily one of the sexiest beans (if not, the sexiest)

I was just thinking how I haven't seen enough cans of beans today.

Beans, beans, the musical fruit

The more you eat, the more you toot

The more you toot, the better you feel.

So let's have beans with every meal

I hope, one day, my grandchildren will read this comment in their history class

That's not just a can of beans. Those are the finest beans on the market.

I'd say this is not literally a can of beans, in the vein of both Magritte and Warhol.

7

Make sure the guy that won't shit for 3 days doesn't see this!

This is not true. I upvoted because they are pictures of baked beans.

Nature has given you tasty food rich in fibre and protein, please be grateful to the bean.

7

Yeah but Heinz beans are the best beans so they always get an upvote. Op is cheating.

6

Beans, the DNA of the soul! They shape our will. They are the culture. They are everything we pass on. Expose someone to anger long enough, they will learn to hate. They become a carrier. Envy, greed, despair: all beans, all passed on. You can't fight nature, Jack. Wind blows, rain falls, and the strong prey upon the weak!

6

Have some respect. It isn't just a can of beans. The can clearly says it's with fucking tomato sauce.

6

These are the proper beans for beans on toast. In the US (at least where I live) you’ll find them in the International section of the grocery store, not with all the other canned beans.

6

This is the most upvotes I've seen ever on Lemmy.

My app is slow scrolling through these comments.

We have arrived, everyone.

Came for the fucking beans, got only beans.

You're obviously the next Warhol, and this art installation deserves all the upboats.

I wish I can upvote here, but it never works for me. I'll give you a upvote which you can't see here.

Best beans ever. US beans are horrible. I pay $4 a can for these glorious beans.

It's not just a can of fucking beans. This is a well known and beloved DayZ prop and lifesaver.
