Never trust a hooker trying to sell you corn…or…hear me out…Hanna on 35th! She’s got the best corn!
They don’t call it the oldest trade in the world for nothing
Seems like like this could be rephrased as: people driven into prostitution to avoid starvation.
The way it’s phrased is that they added an additional payment method, not that people are turning to prostitution to eat.
Could just be that food is all the Johns have to pay with.
I imagine it’s as follows:
- Like in almost any society, Zimbabwe has some sex workers
- Whole country started to see food shortage/a famine/third party takeover of farmland,
- So prostitutes want to be paid directly in crops either because of a recent food scarcity development / because they’re… Starting their own farms! Yippee!
Maybe they’re radical anti-capitalists doing what they can to move their economy to a barter and trade system?
Yep. Sad stuff.
Something like this could be rephrased as: economy is so bad that no one has money for sex.
Not that I’ve always gotten as much sex as I wanted, but I’ve never needed money for it.
How about corn
Haha
Now all that’s needed is a centralized web location to connect those scantily clad ladies seeking corn with those willing to spill their beans.
A cornhub, if you will.
Bravo!

Same here. Was just about to post it in both threads lol
Who started this ridiculous trend where the fucking words letters are substituted with symbols or numbers. Sex. Why can’t sex be written? I’ve seen it with tons of other words too but can’t remember the which ones.
It sorta makes sense on overly censored social media platforms but what, that’s an article on their own personally managed website? That’s bizarre
Advertisers avoid placing ads in controversially named pages. They are likely protecting their income
And it’s Zimbabwe, which is like 80 something percent Christian according to Wikipedia, so their cultural mores might be different from more liberal and progressive areas.
And as the Bible says, God is stupid and if you change one letter he doesn’t know that you are talking about sex. (Matthew 69:420)
Because modern journalism is ad supported, and advertisers don’t want their ads next to anything related to sex.

This sounds like the worst rap lyric of all time.
And we’ve already had “rest in peace my granny she got hit by a bazooka”
I’m Captain Jenks of the Horse Marines
I feed my whores on corn and beans
I often live beyond my means
I’m a captain in the Army!
Why are ‘beans’ and ‘corn’ in quotes there? Are they euphemisms for something else?
Sometimes quotes are ‘wrongly’ used for emphasis.
You beans and corn. You brought her here.
Is anyone else here enough of a 90’s kid to remember the TBS show Dinner and a Movie? The theme song for it just popped into my head. Doot, doo do beans and cornbread doot doo do beans and cornbread.
Beans and cornbread had a fight!
Who won?
I like the pictures of corn and peas in the meme in case we can only understand by image
Flashbacks to 2023 Lemmy
Start the bean machines!
good, more trading of things.
Definitely not, it’s bad for the most vulnerable portion of society to not have access to money. You can’t pay rent or a doctor with corn and beans.
You can pay for prostitutes, which means the situation is dire. Doctors can probably be bargained with in this scenario if you have the beans to pay.
I’m a therapist in the states and I accept barters
Lookit Atticus Finch over here
Doctors can probably be bargained with in this scenario if you have the beans to pay.
I’m old enough to remember a republican Senate candidate getting dragged for suggesting this as an alternative to the ACA.
I went down to the corn-chemical exchange bank, and gave em 2 ears a corn, and they gave me 2 beakers a chemicals!
