Should we try to do a 'hexbear history' post to try to clue the new arrivals in on any bits, emojis or other intracacies?
(hexbear.net)
I feel like we need to explain 
again, amongst other things
I'd love that and I'm not even as new as some of these other people.
Would also love to know what the deal with the beanis thing is.
Beanis means Beanis
[Sung to a thrumming new wave baseline]
🎵When a problem comes along, you must Beanis!
When there's something goin' wrong, you must Beanis!
I say Beanis
Beanis good🎵
It's just a funny word
A lot of things like beanis are just cause it's funny. I've been using hexbear lingo irl long enough my co workers know what 'treatbrained ' means but there is for sure some dense terminology going on even when it's dumb as hell.
'Treats' are shorthand for basically any luxury to an extent but and to be 'treatbrained' is to have some sort of fetishism for some form of consumable or entertainment product. It makes more sense when read in context consistently.
"treats" has an added connotation of... something like triviality, imo
like yachts are disgusting luxury but not a treat, treats are your cheesecake factory and video games
True
Have you familiarized them with what 'bazinga brained' means?
I don't know what that means

I think the love for :beanis: does also feed into the veganism espoused and practiced by many HB users. Beans are good. And they also have an association with farting which is also crude and funny. All round good
/c/badposting sprung a leak in the most vegan-friendly way possible. That's it. That's the whole origin story. Someone made a shitpost and we're still running with it to this day, like many things in the Hexbear/CTH lexicon. (Hexicon?)
Of course it's just that lol
Everybody do the beanis
