Isn't that blocked in most cities? CornFog.com the best corn still allowed.

Doggie corn BDSN CP DCP Reverse Corngirl And cornalinguis.

All their videos are extremely unique.... Guy visits girl in an unimaginably huge number of ways, yada yada yada, they're having corn. Yeah! Right there. They're just doing it! C'mon Jerry! They don't care if we watch. No they don't! Its just corn! Who are these people!

First time I've ever seen/heard transpire used in that way. I'm one of today's lucky 10,000!

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 5 points 16 hours ago

"Transpire" is the plant version of "perspire." TIL, too!

[–] SippyCup@feddit.nl 1 points 11 hours ago

Fun fact, that's the origin of the word.

It's like if ObviousPlant did PSAs

It's actually easily readable which gives it points from me

"Hwat in cornnashun!?"

[–] Odo@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well that's a mystery solved. There are road sections here that get foggier than the rest of the area. I've wondered about that for years and never would've guessed it's the corn.

[–] manicdave@feddit.uk 27 points 1 day ago (3 children)

OP is just atheist propaganda. It's actually because of ghosts. Don't get complacent near the corn fields.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 2 points 12 hours ago

Atheists and ghosts are not mutually exclusive. They're just not allowed to worship the ghosts.

[–] Rose_Thorne@lemmy.zip 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, I thought it was produced by the creepy kids who hide out in the corn fields. Guess I should maybe stop hitting them with my car as they walk out.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Rose_Thorne@lemmy.zip 2 points 18 hours ago

Oh.

Then I'll try to hit them twice as hard. Gotta correct those poor life decisions.

[–] metallic_z3r0@infosec.pub 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Turns out ghosts also like corn.

[–] Tryenjer@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

Ghosts love to possess the scarecrows of the cornfields.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

It’s got the (fog) juice!

That kid is one of my favorite things to come out of the internet.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Have you ever seen the lady who attaches the corn to a drill so she can eat it really fast?

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

The one who get scalped by the drill?

I was thinking of the one who lost her front teeth but I remember the scalping one too.

I wonder how come, since C4 plants, such as corn, have high water-use efficiency

[–] meyotch@slrpnk.net 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A plant can use water efficiently, in terms of getting a lot of CO2 in exchange for the water they transpire, and still use a lot of water.

Corn grows super fast at peak season.

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 6 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

In some cases, such as no wind, you can evem hear it growing. It's like bamboo in that regard, which makes sense since they're both grasses

[–] meyotch@slrpnk.net 2 points 18 hours ago

Yeah, it’s a very creepy experience to walk through a corn field at night in July.

Definitely no place for children. If you see any, run like hell. ;)

[–] winkly@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

I always get a bad case of corn fog when I eat too much caramel corn
