My cob is sweaty 🥵

It's like if ObviousPlant did PSAs

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

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 1 day ago

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

[–] SippyCup@feddit.nl 1 points 20 hours ago

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

[–] 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 21 hours ago

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

[–] Rose_Thorne@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day 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 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] Rose_Thorne@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day 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 1 day ago

Ghosts love to possess the scarecrows of the cornfields.

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

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 5 points 1 day 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 1 day 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.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 1 points 19 hours ago

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!

It’s got the (fog) juice!

[–] rayyy@piefed.social 8 points 1 day ago

Guess JFK Jr gets more roadkill deer.

[–] HylicManoeuvre@mander.xyz 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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 1 day 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 1 day 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. ;)

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

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 day ago
