The lion on the left is like "Give me a reason. Just give me a reason."

This is one of the scariest nature pics I've ever seen.

I'd never be able to eat any of that - it's just wrong. :o

Corn is the perfect example of how genetic engineering works. Who decided that corn should be yellow anyway?

That said I totally understand. I would have a hard time eating "real" corn too.

Nobody decided that corn should be yellow. In Venezuela, Colombia and Africa, a lot of white corn is grown.
Imagine if people were to mix different colors of corn to make their flour. Which flour would you buy? How would you know it was in good condition or had gone bad, as opposed to "this comes from blue corn"?

I think in the States most corn sold to the public has yellow kernels. I have seen white corn but only in high end supermarkets.

The second tweet looks a bit photoshopped to me. Meaning, the chigüires are pasted on it (that is how we call them in Venezuela).

Took a second look and I agree.

Yeah, I'd say it's AI generated.

But why were they parading down a city street at very early o'clock in the morning? Is that something they do?
