    Remember when surreal memes started getting big and people acted like memes were just going to get more and more surreal until they’re completely incomprehensible to the outside observer? Then ten years later it turns out the memes are just beans, corn, and the numbers 6, 7.

    I think a way to microwave corn on the cob went viral on tik tok or something. My partner insisted we make it last night. Even tho corn is hellla out of season. It was corn.
