Humans are always going to have stupid games to see who can be the first, or who can make it to the top of something. Is the entire foundation ESPN is built on.
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.
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.

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.
first.
who would care about that anymore, if we can learn something from history is that we will definitely not commit the same mistakes? was it? I forgor 💀

First
Have some gold!
Last!
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
I don't think we've even hit 24 hours yet.
Got to go 3 days at least with out poop or talking shit about bean memes
What's your problem with beans? Are you a bean hater? You best step off my bean-bros, bro!
For real, the guys being a huge beanie baby.
He hasn't bean having a good time. It's all he's bean thinking about. Pretty sad if you ask me.
Bean hater is too hard to type. I'll just call him a bater.

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.
I don’t care for the bean memes, but hey, it’s making a few people happy haha. I’m for that.

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

That was the start of a meme, which spawned many bean memes today
Better go catch it!
Considerably less annoying than John Oliver tbf
It is stupid, but it hasn't even been a day. It will be fine.
It’s almost like it wasn’t Reddit running jokes into the ground - it was people
The time has bean and gone

I believe that post began the joke, the lemmy shitpost community just ran with the bean memes after that.
Ah, it feels like home already.
