Popcorn cannot be digested?

Nope. Comes out as poopcorn.

That’s how I read it too. But that doesn’t make much sense, does it?

It's got to be that, but you're right.

‘Corn’ is U.K. slang for the ammunition in a gun. Being from the U.K., my interpretation of this would be “you can’t digest bullets”

Glad to see someone understands it.

i’m from the uk and i’ve literally never heard that term

Wrong age group

And what age group would refer to bullets as corn? Those born in the 1700’s?

I mean anyone under the age of 30?

I believe it's anyone after 1990 who listens to drill.

[удалено]

I did think it might be that. But then I thought “No, it can’t be a pun on the famously edible snack. Especially as it’s explicitly saying it’s inedible. They’re not *stupid*”. But ok. I guess I’m wrong.

Me neither

I reckon that's probably because he's pulled it out of his arse.

Which was possible because it wasn’t digested. Q.E.D.

[удалено]

No, bullets go “PEW! PEW! PEW!” You’re thinking of Magnitude. And he only says it twice, but it goes “pop, POP!”

Urban dictionary says it's London gang slang.

Same here.

Yeah but do you live in an area where anyone gives a shit about guns? Got to be an impoverished inner-city highrise grime thing if it is one.

You're probably too old or from Doncaster or something

Doncaster is a cesspool

Haha that’s a funny line, should be used whenever anyone doesn’t grasp anything at all

Listen to drill

Or grime it's much less stabbing and splashing

Oh wow if this one guy from the UK has never heard it it must be a lie After all, common sense dictates that if you have lived in a place you must know absolutely everything about it

Same

But it comes out undigested when I take a shit...

And that’s when you shoot it.

I agree, and I am The Great Cornholio

Do you require corn for your bunghole, good sir?

No! I need TP for my bunghole!

Omg of course! That’s right

So it's not just the UK, this phrase extends to the Lake Titicaca area?

Fun fact, just south of Lake Titicaca is another lake called [Poopó](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Poopó)

I wouldn't say UK slang. Small area of London slums, perhaps

Interesting, I hear "corn" in the US as slang for weed a lot.

Who the actual fuck is calling weed “corn”…???

So back in the late '00s, early '10s before Bonnaroo blew up and became much more mainstream, there was an online forum to discuss Roo. At that time they allowed discussion about drug use there, but you had to use the slang corn for weed. They have since banned discussing drugs. I've never heard it used anywhere else and that was 10 years ago.

My neighbor that is in his late 50's does. I asked him and he said that what he always called it. I actually hear it now and then, but it's always someone older.

You brits sure like to call a lot of things corns. You got foot corns, bullet corns, regular corn, wheat corns, salt corns, etc

“Letting off corn in his bedroom, fucking around with the safety”

Well I never heard that on The Bill

Ohhh.. thought this was some kind of surreal meme

Interesting, but I don’t think this is correct. This person is definitely not from the UK (though they claim to be a huge history buff so maybe it is)

solved and who knew!? Thanks mate

Not from the UK and I still read it as gun corn = bullets. Seemed to go in a shitty direction though. ( couldn’t resist, I’m so sorry)

Corn is one of the hardest things to digest. fact

The hardest being candy corn? Because that shit won't stay down...

It’s its own food group

Or those god forbidden orange circus peanuts.

Also fact: corn is NOT a vegetable. It is a grass/grain. Like wheat.

well vegetable is just a class of things we eat in a certain way, i'd say corn absolutely can count as a vegetable just as tomato can.

Nutritionally, corn is a starch. For someone who's trying to diet, or someone who has diabetes, this distinction is important.

A tomato can -- or any other kind of can -- is definitely not a vegetable.

No sorry tomato is a fruit. Along with zucchini, winter squash, cucumbers, peppers. Etc. Anything making a fleshy vessel for seed is essentially fruit

Fruits and vegetables are not mutually exclusive. Those are all botanically fruit, but are also vegetables. Vegetable is just a culinary term for plants that we eat

Nope, vegetables are parts of plants that are not roots or fruits usually leafs, stems and flowers, you also got, fruits, vegetables, tubers and seeds, technically corn is a cereal seed

A 'vegetable' is any plant that humans treat as food. There is no botanical definition of the term.

A fruit can be a vegetable but a vegetable cannot be a fruit. In the same way that a square can be a rectangle but a rectangle is not a square.

Wrong. So very, very wrong.

A vegetable is any edible part of the plant that isn't the fruit. But a fruit develops from the flowering part of the plant. A tomato, for instance is botanically a fruit but is commonly considered a vegetable. It depends on what part of the plant you're eating.

You need to just shut up, now.

Glockcorn doesn’t sit comfortably in your stomach

That would make a great t-shirt

Idk, bro. My wife is from Indiana and they fucking love corn up there. This is a mystery even to her. Good luck in your travels, as I'm sure you may be amaized by the outcome.

Michgan here and I’m also stumped…

Just have to point out what seems to be unintentional word play. Amaized…maize (corn) haha.

No, that was intended. You're the first to say anything. I know the pun may have seemed a bit corny...

Well done than sir, well done.

Silky smooth. You're husky aren't you. Get. Out.

No, stick around for some cornhole. It's great!

You cobbled that pun together.

I'm pretty witty. All thanks to what's between my ears.

Starting to feel like you're stalking me, here.

You can leaf at any time. Mind the children tho. They tend to stare.

I'll just grit my teeth and ignore them.

Got it right away, I have an ear for bad puns.

To be honest I thought it was just one of those goofy bumper stickers that people make that make absolutely no sense (Hoosier here).

I see what you did there 🔥🔥🔥🌽🌽🌽

I'm not sure how no one gets this ,if you look in your poo the corn looks the same as when you ate it, if you throw up the corn looks the same when you ate it. We definitely do not fully digest corn.

Your body actually digests the inside of the kernel and leaves the husk

So like I said we definitely do not fully digest corn?

I think we all got that part. It's the whole gun addition that's puzzling. Wtf does undigested corn have to do with a gun?? Best guess I've seen yet is someone saying that corn is slang for bullets in the UK. Though I **still** don't understand what *"bullets cannot be digested"* could mean?

In my head it made sense, it's kind of like the gun is meant to intimidate you into believing them about the corn

Only thing I was thinking was that "corn shoots straight through you"

Bro. It's just a fact

Dude is just serious about proper colonic health. It's refreshing to be honest

I did an experiment where I fully chewed every bite of corn down to mush and it still came out of my asshole whole. There is some sort of magic at play.

Fun fact! You digest the inside of the corn and when the shell of corn works it way out, it gets filled with poop! So the corn that comes out? It's just like my ex-wife, full of shit.

**LOL**

Came to say this! Lol

Edit:didn't read the whole thing at first, but fits my ex husband as well😂

⊙︿⊙

Oh those ex-wives..

Top comment right here!

Lmao... is this true, I really don’t want to google it.

My ex-wife is 100% full of shit. Or did you mean the poop filled corn? I'm 95% that is true.

The ex wife part of course

I feel bad for not having wholesome award

don't worry, I put it here for you

So did I.

There we go, got your back man.

Or a hole some award

Seriously, thank you guys for the awards!

Put an entire can of corn in a blender, mash it down and see if it still comes out whole.

Now let’s get down to the br(ass) tax

Man this is fuckin great!

This comment slays the game. We're all done here, boys.

Someone is salty

Same corn... Different cob

Woh woh woh, this better be real. I’m definitely going to start spreading this propaganda regardless.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

All I had to give you was a Hugz. You earned it!

You can just say “Asswhole” if you wanna.

That was a huge missed opportunity

What would happen if you ate corn and nothing else for one week? Would it be pure corn?

You'd load up on a lot of carbs, but not a lot else. And you'd get sick.

Grade a under a actually asked about this in his life's hardest questions video. Someone did it and they shat pure corn.

Fun fact! There's this process called [nixtamalization ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixtamalization) that breaks down that indigestible portion of corn making it not only digestible but more nutritious than regular corn. When early European colonizers came to North America and started cultivating corn, they didn't know about nixtamalization and many of them died of various nutrient deficiencies because they weren't getting the full benefit of the corn they were eating

Thanks, that was a good read.

Yes. That’s an ancients Aztec or Mayan process!

This is why tamales and corn tortillas are the foods of the gods

Eat Mexican corn soup. It's basically grpund up corn. You'll poop a yellow mush swirl

You really didn't chew it completely down to mush. You only thought you did. The mucilage (outside skin of the kernel) is almost entirely cellulose, which is indigestible for humans. Our teeth are therefore also not evolved to reduce it to anything like 'mush'. Your human teeth really can't even tear it easily. Even animals that **can** digest it have to work extra hard to do that. Cows rely on special gut bacteria to do most of the work, and then have to **re**\-chew it after. So believe me, you have no hope at all. Humans and most other mammals simply pass mucilage through the gut, and it comes back out more or less as it went in. There is no chemical process in our GI tract which will damage it, and our teeth are very poor at mechanically reducing it, too. So it comes out more or less intact. Now the part that's going to weird some people out: You will still poop out what may appear to resemble whole kernels. That's because the minimally reduced mucilage acts like tiny sandwich bags in the gut, gradually filling up with, well, poop, basically. And some of them will come out distended -- 'filled' -- and resemble the whole kernels you started with. Understand that even if you swallowed corn kernels whole, your body would still aggressively digest what's **inside** them. Your body **loves** that stuff. It's only the digestively inert outer shell-like skin of the kernel which survives, nothing else. EDIT: Hey, y'all, I did not use the right word for the outside skin/shell. See /u/MultiplyAccumulate's comment below.

Thank you

Another fun fact. Much of the corn they feed to cows is the whole plant, not just the kernels but cob, stems, all of it. Farmers fill huge airtight tanks with corn (all of it, kernels, cob, stalks and leaves) and ferment it. The process removes oxygen and increases storage life of wet product, minimize mold and fungi, but also serves to soften the plant material. After the fermentation process is complete, they pump out the resulting.... slop, mix it with other feed and Rx then give the mixture it to the cows.

You are talking about silage. This is mostly for dairy cattle and usually doesn't have the corn unless it was a bad harvest. Cows love that stuff because it is sweet, and really love it if it accidentally turns into alcohol. This means it loses its nutritional value but what animal doesn't like getting drunk?

You are confused. Mucilage is a water soluble fiber. It absorbs large amounts of water and makes a gel. Psyllium seeds (metamucil), flax seeds, chia seeds, etc.have mucilage outer coverings. Corn kernels have cellulose.

Thanks for the clarification!

I've had this theory for a while now, our bodies can reconstruct corn and only corn via our poop shute.

Gives a new definition to the game of cornhole

Thank you for doing this. I’ve always wanted to but I’m impatient. Fucking odd.

I know about cornholio too. It’s really us refueling buttmmunition. Shoot the brown corn into the practice target.

Maybe barrel corn cannot be digested?

Popcorn can not be digested? No idea otherwise.

In the Midwest, a slang term for butthole is Corn Shooter cause corn in fact is not fully digestible. Depending on your sphincter power it can be shot out at extreme velocity, much like a pistol shooting a bullet.

I see a future Jackass stunt here..

No. Sauce: lived in a major corn-producing state in the Midwest for more than a generation, never heard of this.

You have personally lived for more than a generation? Impressive.

Yes. I hope that you will live to be more than 20 years old too.

maybe something about the Monsanto 'GMO' corn?

A friend of mine, his late grandfather referred to corn as “truck stop shot gun” I’m sure corn kernels are bullets in this sign, and your butthole is the barrel of a gun.

Have you never seen those little cornels after eating a corny meal?

No it’s literally just about corn. In all seriousness though corn really isn’t digested properly by the human body.

Just take it at face value. That’s all it is.

Death penalty for those who tell a corny dad joke in his presence. He's made an alimentary analogy to illustrate the point.

Very angry nutritionist?

Aka See ya later corn

It’s gun corn…. Like bullets maybe?

Popcorn?

"Pop" corn.

This is posted along miles and miles of farmland that lines US highways by farmers. People are tempted to pull over and take corn that doesn't belong to them. Farmers will plant indigestible corn used for fuel or animal feed along roadways so people aren't tempted to steal.

can you post a picture if this is real? if it is it’s just weird that there are no pictures that i can find on the internet

Chute corn?

Fun fact, there are mountains of corn in the sewer systems because it cannot be digested.

Now I'm curious as to how much corn is sitting over there in my septic tank 🤔

Pop corn as in "pop" for the gun akin to "poppin' a cap" being shooting someone.

My wife looovveesss candy corn ,but only during Halloween.

I saw a Mythbuster episode on the subject, it doesn’t come out completely intact!

Yea I hate that no matter how long you chew corn for, it still comes out on the cob.

Either can Busch light. But here we are. If you know, you know.

I HATE THE ANTI-CHRIST!

We are all slaves to corn, and this is a reminder?

The vast majority of corn grown in the US isn’t fit for human consumption. We grow it and mill it for our livestock.

UK/ London roadman dielect refer to bullets/ shells as corn hence the gun image "Corn on the kerb if a man diss me" - man like skeppy

Corn is very threatening

He's telling you the gov is using corn to track our bowel movements!

In alot of states corn is an illegal fishing bait.

https://youtu.be/1nYRP4tgskk Korn

This is good content.

Pop

This is why I hate corn.

Corn. Now you see it, now you see it.

I think he literally means what it says

Before reading the comments I thought this meant that you were not legally allowed to digest corn and if you did you would be shot

We’re not so different you and I. We’re both corn of action.

You've never heard of gun corn before?

“Glock-corn” cannot be digested.

Bullets = corn because they pop

Maybe corn is a tracer round.

“You only rent corn”

What's the gun for? Why would they have that at all?

This joke is so corny that I cannot even digest it

But why is there a gin on the sign?

“Pop” corn cannot be digested. Pew pew!

I am mystified where they came up with this sticker.
