    I think this is not only the most upvoted post on Lemmy, but beanposting effectively tested the network and worst case system performance by hitting the database from everywhere at the same time. The fact that Lemmy didn’t go down is in itself an amazing feat considering it’s never been tested at this scale before. Even if the servers are unstable it shows that the idea is sound.

    Where is the traffic coming from? Everywhere, it’s coming from everywhere!

    Yeah you think this is just a can of fucking beans when in fact what we are looking at here is a socio political commentary on the state of late stage capitalism. Which is in fact a long arse way of stating the simple fact that who the fuck can afford branded beans in this day and age.

    To be fair, those are British-style baked beans.

    I was born and raised in the US (and have returned there) but spent the last 4 years living in London, and British beans in tomato sauce are very different from American baked beans in BBQ sauce. Both have their charms, but British beans are basically a breakfast food as main, American beans are a BBQ side-dish. Beans on Toast is a wonderful British breakfast, but Americans haven’t heard of it, and those who have might turn their nose up at it.

    Very different cultures, and so much we can learn about multiculturalism for one can of baked beans - no, one picture of a can of baked beans.

    So, yeah, I think it deserves and upvote.
