There's a subreddit for just about everything, but if you're a legit Uncle Ben's fan who is also a serious Redditor (that's a lonely island), you might be disappointed to find that the subreddit r/UncleBens isn't so much a gathering of hardcore pre-cooked rice fans, as it is an online sub-community of DIY psilocybin cultivators who are using Uncle Ben's and other supermarket staples to grow magic mushrooms.
[...] What makes Uncle Bens the perfect vessel for psilocybin, according to the r/UncleBens crew, is that mushroom cultivation "requires a sterile, nutrient-rich environment in which their spores can grow," and since Uncle Ben's rice is pre-cooked, sterilized and vacuum-sealed, it provides the necessary environment for cultivation.

This whole #BLM thing is going too far... Uncle Ben was a real person, known for producing the highest-quality rice in the Houston area, and he was a positive role model who showed little pickaninnies that anyone can succeed in the corporate world with enough hard work and a good attitude. Now he's going to be unemployed and Aunt Jemima's going to have to support the family by herself.

Aunt Jemima was also a real person, known for producing the highest-quality flapjack syrup in the Louisiana area, and she was a positive role model who showed little pickaninnies that anyone can succeed in the kitchen with enough hard work and a good attitude.

Uncle Tom was a real person who was really nice and shone the best shoes.

Ha!
Ya got me good. @TMB could learn a thing or two about trolling from you. I can safely assume you are not TMB posting AC since he swears up and down he never posts AC or uses sock puppets. Who can doubt him?
