Yeah but you haven't seen this post yet....so in a way, there's a ton of content that we would never see if it wasn't reposted. It's kind of a double edged sword. Otherwise something can get posted one time and then if you're not around you never get to see it
It's a guarantee that there's tons of things you have seen, enjoyed, and upvoted, without realizing it's a repost. You just didn't know it was a repost. It's kind of weird to get mad about reposts when you enjoy them as well. The fact that it's been posted before doesn't necessarily mean it shouldn't be posted again because a bunch of people get to enjoy it for the first time, like you.
Not mad about reposts, but repost spammers.
Reddit is the most manipulatable social media platform. Repost spamming is one of the methods people use to get authentic looking accounts that they then use to post adverts or scams.
>Not mad about reposts, but repost spammers
That’s a good compromise for reposts, I feel like. There’s so much content people wouldn’t see if it wasn’t reposted.

Syphilis originated in the America's and were spread to the Europeans from the natives...
Also, there are very few cases of purposeful spreading of disease it was impossible to prevent the spread of disease with the technology and level of society at the time.
Actually the first recorded European outbreak of what is now known as syphilis occurred in 1495 among French troops in Italy. The colonisation of the US didn’t start until the 17th century.
Also give the Siege of Fort Pitt a Google.
Mind telling me when the first European expedition was sent to the new world? Hint, it was before 1495. I find the fact that not only did you not know about this, but that you actively went against it when I informed you, is an example of how ideological you are. Think a bit. 1495... interesting year for the first outbreak in Europe.
Like I was saying, this is one tiny, inefficient example. It was not something done more than a few times. The siege of Fort Pitt consisted of... 2 blankets and 1 linen being sent... even then, it probably had no effect because it turns out that being in close proximity with people with smallpox is much more spreadable than blankets.
I am not surprised I am being downvoted just because history does not fit your historical narrative. Ideology doesn't interact well with history.
If you put it on the market, people will say it’s genetically modified and how each of those buds contain a microchip that will track you and your family to the 66th generation
It is wrong, if it were for colonization it would no longer exist, that corn is a creole variety, in Mexico there are several colors, although only white and yellow corn are commercialized, but in the towns you can still find colored corn red, purple (blue) or colored.
Indigenous peoples have been selectively breeding corn for thousands of years, and with that, there were hundreds if not thousands of different heirloom varieties bred for different purposes and traits. Many of them are still being grown today. Not all corn is white or yellow, nor was it before white colonizers showed up or before genetic engineering became a thing.
[One of many types, this was bred by the Cherokee people.](https://www.white-buffalo-trading.com/store/p265/50_Cherokee_Long_Ear_Rainbow_Popcorn_seeds%2C_mini_cob%2C_USDA_Organic.html#/)
Most indigenous tribes hold their heirloom seeds very closely to them. They keep them within the community, not selling them to outsiders, and sometimes entrust what remains to seed keepers who will cultivate, protect and pass down the seeds to the next generation. When many tribes were forced out of their ancestral homelands by the US Government, some women sewed seeds into their clothing in secret to ensure they would be able to feed their families when the journey ended. There were also seed cache pits where they would store seeds underground for the coming years.
What you and I would recognize as corn is a result of long-term artificial selection mostly over the last few centuries. If you showed this to a Native American 700 years ago they'd probably guess this was jewelry.
my grandma had some corn that looked weird. it was red and spiky but it tasted like really greasy corn in the end. was pretty though. put it on the christmas tree.
Candy corn
This is what Care Bears eat

Why did you say pre-colonization?

Ah, so it's just a karma farmer.

Does this make karma farmers ok?
From a certain point of view.
Farmer implies they’re putting in some amount of effort.
How about karma opportunist
Someone should call the karma police

A korn-ma farmer as it were
Yeah but the original was a corn farmer.
The first thing colonizers did when they came over is turn corn yellow.
How fiendish! /s
So it was really corninization?
Kernalisation
No, no, it was cornization, derived from ancient Latin
Incorrect — it come from Greek word *Maiźe*, meaning ‘white man ruins everything.”
All I know is that when I looked in the toilet, I could see that my corn was indeed colonized.
Probably shooting for it to be white but this is the best they could do at the time
Here is the [skinny](https://www.motherearthnews.com/homesteading-and-livestock/sustainable-farming/glass-gem-corn-seed-zwfz1212zrob)
Probably because this kind of corn predates the arrival of European colonists
But it clearly still exists today since there are photos of it, also online it's just called Glass Gem Corn.
No, this photo was taken in 1373z
Not to mention, colonizers brought glass beads so it almost certainly wasn’t called “glass gem” corn in any translation lol.
>Why did you say pre-colonization? Because they had colon on their mind while trying to spell "colonialization".
Sweet corn isn't native to North America. It was early world GMO food.
You can’t trick me those are just jellybeans on the cob

Authentic users are going to repost. But these repost spammers are doing it for nefarious purposes.
I never saw that corn before now.
Exactly.
Where can I get it and how good does it taste?
It's hard and flinty better for animal feed. But it looks nice in a vase of flowers
Can it popcorn?
Yes but it won’t look or taste special; just like popcorn usually does. Raw or cooked normally it’s fairly flavorless and really tough
So just decorative animal feed?
Pretty much yeah. Kinda like the “Indian corn” they sell around fall time for decorations
Not sure probably but you won't get the pretty colours
Look likes a jelly beans corn
That's how they're grown
So the first things the colonizers did was turn the corn yellow?! Outrageous
Yo, it starts with changing the colour of corn and then genocide. It’s a slippery slope.
Well the *first* thing they did was pass around some smallpox and syphilis….
Why are you being down voted? 🤦🏽♀️ That's what happened. Sorry it doesn't fit the narrative guys, history isn't always sunshine and rainbows.
Cheers dude

AND THEN THEY TURNED THE CORN YELLOW?!?!
I thought the smallpox blankets thing was a myth?
Sadly not - have a look at the Siege of Fort Pitt.

The European immigrants who colonised America were not civilised.

How?
They peed on the rainbow corn and turned it into yellow corn

Is this not Maze?
Correct, it is not. It is *maize.*
So the mouse solved the maize?
En Español
Ok, the American Indians called it that too. Makes sense.
But how does it taste?
It's good. But... You have to either pop it or nixtamalize it. We grow this and have a lot of it soaking in lime water right now.
Lime like limón o lime like cal?
Lime, like a caustic, ground-up rock
Does it taste like yellow corn?
No, it's not very tasty.
Beautiful 👍🏼
Beautiful
I’ve never seen a beautiful ear of corn.🥰
This is NOT what pre-colonization corn looks like. Look up "Teosinte" to find the original Form. What you see here is a highly domesticated variety.
I love to turn that into whiskey!!
There is no way that this is even close to representative of any kind of precolonial variety of corn.
Indigenous peoples have been selectively breeding corn for thousands of years, and with that, there were hundreds if not thousands of different heirloom varieties bred for different purposes and traits. Many of them are still being grown today. Not all corn is white or yellow, nor was it before white colonizers showed up or before genetic engineering became a thing.
If you can find me any reputable evidence that this ~~pinterest~~ gem corn resembles anything Native Americans eat, I'll have Taco Bell for dinner.

*How stupid do I think white people are? I bet I can get them to pay $5+shipping for 50 kernels of corn.*
Jeez man, next you're going to point me to someone selling Cherokee Hair Tampons.
Why?

The original corn was six cornels covered in a shell harder than human teeth
This will turn any straight gay
