What do you mean? I've only heard "corn-fed" used figuratively in the Midwestern United States to refer to people who live where corn is produced.

Corn-fed is more often a descriptor of cattle, to contrast with grass-fed beef. DannoHung is extending the "bullshit" image to "corn-fed bullshit".

So is the point that it's even worse than normal grass-fed bullshit?

Danno likely meant "cornpone," a word that connotes 'rural Southern' when used of opinions.

The rural South is not usually associated with the idea that people want sex to have meaning, and that this is often transient when we find it, so DannoHung's ruminations on the subject must remain mysterious to us.

Your statements are philosophical pablum. They have nothing convincing about them. I thought it might be a quote from something, but if it is, I can't find it.

I'm sorry that I used a colloquialism and muddied my meaning. I thought it was a funny turn of phrase.

Whether or not you are convinced is your business. It took me years of hard living to learn from my mistakes. If you can learn the same lessons some easier way, or if you need to take a harder route, it's all one to me.

Wait, we can just make statements that we've found to be true without any evidence or argument on HN now?

I've really got to find a new place to keep up with tech news.
