So the only two times I’ve run across the term “corn sweat” have been in the last week or so. And both times the subtext has been “y’know, ‘corn sweat’. Everybody knows about ‘corn sweat’”

Am I being Berenstain Beared?

The new Superman is David Corenswet, pronounced "Corn Sweat". Movie came out two weeks ago, and it was the San Diego Comic Con last weekend. Been hearing his name aloud on a lot of my podcasts.

Nah just an easy excuse that people can use as a single answer to why the weather sucks instead of the long slow change of climate.

It's the Dubai chocolate of climate change denialism and will be also gone before you know it.

They drain the aquifers to water the corn. It evaporates and comes back down when the conditions are right. They’ve been right a lot but also I guess hard to model or we’ve really damaged the prediction services previously available to us.

It's always humid around large amounts of plants, even those that grow wild, because all plants transpire. IE sweat.

There's a lot of shit farming does that's bad for the environment, but "corn sweat" isn't a conspiracy to cover up the human hand in the high humidity recently. Just a new buzz word for a thing most people probably didn't know about.

I'm absolutely convinced its an op to control the narrative and make sure folks are talking about anything but climate change. there's been corn in ohio a long ass time yall. stop blaming the corn

Wait, the reason it’s so humid where I am in Ontario is because of American corn, and you guys are pissed you get some of our wildfire smoke caused by your oil habits?

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

I didn’t get pissed. Our sunsets were gorgeous. Maybe next time it will burn up some toxic chemical factory and they’ll get even more colorful

The smokey sky is the only reason I haven't had the sun beating down on my apartment for most of this heat wave! Finally coming around on this climate change thingy.

Also because corn is grown near T.O.

What does proximity to retired hand egg wide receiver Terrell Owens have to do with the weather?

The USA is all about oil, corn, and sugar with nuclear weaponry. And nothing more.

[-] potoo22@programming.dev 15 points 3 days ago

And corn oil and corn sugar. The corn weapons didn't work out.

Ironically, the channel-filler within the secondary explosive casing of a modern high-yield nuclear bomb uses corn-based substrates for radiation transparency within the first few milliseconds of the nuclear ignition.

We also have pizza, and pizza delivery.

Yo, this ain’t Russia, punk. We got them guns and insta-flu-nesters too.

[-] bizzle@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Lmfao I live in the "A-hole"

[-] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 8 points 3 days ago

Huh, shower thought. Over here, we call it corn sweat. Over yonder in the Sahel, They call it reversing desertification.

Kind of corny, I know, but why don’t we just move our corn production over from the east Midwest to the west Midwest?

Live Colorado river reaction: squidward-nervous

Gallows humor aside, it's already happening, but you can see that yields are still lower at the leading edge:

Time for a "Children Of The Corn" remake with corn sweat added to the script.
