    Sorry to disappoint, Hank Bean is from his app, not from lemmy getting popular enough to for the shitpost community to leak out

    Focus friend is an app where you have a bean character knit scarves while your phone is on lock then you purchase stuff with the scarves.

      I mean, no. Hank has been doing the literal beans meme for years. It’s the same beans meme that’s been circling on lemmy. It’s not unique to lemmy. The memes share a common ancestor, they’re not direct ancestors either way (Hank to Lemmy or Lemmy to Hank).

      Same with the Hank Bean thing. This isn’t a reference to that or vice-versa. They share a common ancestor.

      I believe beans have been circulating in nerdfighteria since the 2021 P4A, though it could be 2019.

      Oh I was under no impression that it was Lemmy related. We could only hope for someone that high-profile to give us a shoutout.
