I tell you, there is nothing more Lemmy than people taking jokes/memes super seriously in the comments.
It's just reddit mentality but a few years earlier.
The change from teosinte to maize involved a surprisingly small change to it's genetic code. Something like 5 genes.
So there is hope for people with small dick size?
To become corn? Very little.
To have fantastic sex with a loving partner, including becoming a father if you want?
Absolutely.
CRISPR is there for you
"No baby, it's not small, it just needs to be CRISPIER"
Learn to eat pussy/suck dick or find a partner with an unusually small vagina/bussy.
Or use your fingies
"come hither"
Por que no los dos?
Coupled with tongue 👌
thx for the diabeetus
you know you don't have to turn it into corn syrup right? that crap isn't used widely anywhere but in the US
The crazy thing is, every time I have tried a yank drink with corn syrup that my country has the equivalent to without corn syrup, the yank one tastes like ass without fail, and leaves your mouth feeling weird.
Especially because most of the corn eaten in the rest of the Americas isn't sweet at all. It's more equivalent of rice, pasta, potatoes, etc...
Corn syrup is better than our other main use for it: Ethanol
Problem is that we have such extreme subsidies that vast swaths of farmers are now entirely reliant on corn subsidies. We make far more corn than we have any use for because of it
No politician wants to be the one to take away the insane corn subsidies because a whole lot of farmers will be upset, and the American public is generally unaware of how wasteful the subsidies are
Seriously, grilled on the cob dipped in butter is the most bestest way to consume this sweet grass!
thx for the diabeetus
fun fact, that is a eugenicist health scare campaign started by settlers to demonize indigenous peoples whose traditional diets are rich in corn.
famine and genocide are known causes of chronic illness. surviving colonialism is inherently disabling and heightened diabetes rates are a side-effect of that. it makes no scientific sense to me to completely ignore the social determinants of health and blame the diets of entire ethnic groups for their chronic illness rates.
I don't think it was the Mexican farmers that gave us diabeetus. I'd blame it on the sugar cartels in the US.
You can blame the sugar cartels all you want, The truth is if you’re an American, you finance this shit through your taxes. Corporations suck, but what sucks more is that people don’t realize they help pay for their own slow demise in the name of profit.
Fucking ag policies, man.
Oh for sure, the broader argument to me would be about sugar subsidies. I don't support subsidizing the sugar/corn/meat industries. If I had a magic wand I'd much rather those taxes subsidize more nutrient dense foods.
that's a bingo! rest of the world doesn't use corn syrup
High-fructose maize isn't an Indegenous invention: that's a White invention.

Mexico didn’t exist back then. Europeans hadn’t conquered and genocided and created states in the Americas.
This was native (indigenous) americans.
