LOL that's some fucked up looking "corn"

[@akoffgrid676]

Corn ? You would atleast think the could know the name of the grain there harvesting

[@bmbpdk]

The definition of the word "corn" is different in the world, in Denmark wheat, barley, oat, rye etc we call corn, while what they call corn in the USA we call maize.

[@harveyfinders352]

Don't they know the difference

TY for the comment

[@darthhoovy8332]

Harvey Finders I think corn is a blanket term for all types of grain, not just maize.

[@Groucho_Marxist_ASMR]

@@darthhoovy8332 Not just grain, but grain-sized particles. Peppercorns, for example. Corned beef is "corned" with grain sized particles of salt. Kinda like the word "grain" You can have grains of sand, or salt, etc...

not only is it not corn but the diagonal video made me turn it off

[@maxdecphoenix]

Matthew Kongesor ignorant peasant. 'Corn' was a classification for cereal grains by proto-Germanic tribes. A custom proliferated around what would become Europe with the Nordic expansion, and contraction of Latin influence from Rome. Maize is the native American name for a species of cereal native to the American continent. When European colonists began arriving, they continued the European tradition of calling the predominant regional cereal, maize, "corn". As has been done for atleast 2000 years. For whatever reason, probably the assimilation of large numbers of peoples without this cultural tradition, and the lack of an array of cereals from region to region, they just saw all the Europeans calling maize 'corn'. And the two words became conflated, then later synonymous. Have you honestly never noticed the similarly sounding or spelled words like corn, cereal, kernel, quern, acorn, all relating to grain or the processing of grain?

Diagonal video? My dude, this is a 4:3 video. Back in the old days, this was how videos were made.
