the autumn flex where humanity throws a party for not starving this year
means A celebration marking the gathering of crops, typically held in autumn to give thanks for a successful harvest.
from A modern blend of "harvest" and "fest." "Harvest" comes from Old English "hærfest," which originally meant autumn itself — the season of reaping — and is related to German "Herbst" (autumn) and ultimately to a Proto-Indo-European root meaning "to pluck or gather." "Fest," borrowed into English from German "Fest" (festival, feast), traces back to Latin "festus" (joyful, festive). So the word literally stitches together "the reaping" and "the feast" — the gathering and the gratitude in one cheerful compound.
