My early-morning ADHD brain read that as:

By upvoting this post, you confirm that you are not Amish

And I was like "Well duh!" before my reading comprehension caught up with me.

Yeah, fuck that guy. All my homies hate that guy.

You know I live in the city and have never actually visited The Bean in person.

It's neat to check out, at least once. I took my girlfriend's when they came to visit a couple years ago and we had fun taking goofy photos in the reflection.

I saw The Decemberists in that open grass area there back in ... 2007? It's been a while. That was a good day. I loved Chicago summers.

[-] LongbottomLeaf@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 year ago

Chicago? And is that you, Moatilliata?

[-] Duranie@lemmy.film 1 points 1 year ago

Hi from a southern neighbor in Will county!

I was up there a few weeks ago meeting some new friends from out of town. Had some drinks by the Bean then dinner at Lou's. ๐Ÿ‘

There are several colors Anish Kapoor is not legally permitted to paint this.

Saw it for the 1st time last October. My kid absolutely loved it and wants to move to Chicago to see it more often.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Only if you're a tourist. Nobody here cares about the stupid bean. Just don't touch it, you don't know where those tourists have been.

[-] HollowNotion@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

As a somewhat recent Chicago tourist... I didn't care about the bean either, lol.

[-] bblkargonaut@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That's clearly a gate to the clouds, not a bean. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Cool beans!

[-] OneDimensionPrinter@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

You're not supposed to take pictures of the bean!

(Just looked it up, apparently they'll allow it these days unless you're obviously a crew)

[-] Risus_Nex@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Don't worry, I stole this picture from the internet.

Everything is a bean if you're brave enough

[-] Karcinogen@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year ago

My family always calls it the chrome bean.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

a different kind of bean

You mean the clitoris?
