Funnily enough life didn’t give us lemons. we made them
We are life
Alright I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade- make life take the lemons back. Get mad. I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons, do you know who I am? I'm the man who's going to burn your house down...with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
Ooh I like this guy!
He says what everyone's thinking!
CAN IT! When God gives you lemons you FIND A NEW GOD!
BEAR BLASTING! Similar to hump-catting.
Better safe than sorry.
Somebody needs to make life take those lemons back!
Perhaps... Get mad?
I propose some variety of arson… with the lemons.
When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
Cave Johnson
Burning people! He says what we're all thinking!
Dad, are we really trying to create combustible lemons?
Yes, we arson!
As if life would just give you lemons.
Sometimes it does. Problem is, no one wants to buy lemonade.
We have lemon trees for that
But who wants to be a lemon-stealing whore?
I'm not stealing them, if I don't pick them, they fall off and rot doing no good for the tree, thereby completely wasting all the energy the tree spent on making the things. There aren't a lot of marsupials or rodents that have the right type of hands/paws for meaningfully harvesting and spreading of the seeds in my neck of the desert to take care of seed distribution for the tree naturally.
Yes, I am growing lemons, avocados, limes, peaches, bananas, and figs currently in a desert with only collected rainwater, and grey water from my washing machine. There's no city water involved. It doesn't rain very often outside of the "cool autumn" season for about four months of the year, the other 8 months are "warm spring" we don't really get rain then, which is why I have 3400 gallons of rainwater storage that gets refilled in the first or second rain of the season.
I was just making reference to this meme/video
Ahh, I've not run into that one before
Best I can do is turnip juice.
Me after working every day for four months straight. 😑
Even weekends?
Yeah I work four part time jobs. I'm working every single day. It is a real bummer.
Sorry to hear that. I hope it gets better for you soon ❤️
Just a few more months and I'll only have one and all my debt will be paid off. There's light at the end of the tunnel!
That's amazing! I'm glad for you
Lol you've got a job with weekends.
Well, not so much a job as an apprenticeship that I'm payed for. But yea, I've only had to work Saturdays when I worked in retail.
It's good that this came along, since the Cave Johnson monologue just reads like a Karen nowadays.
When life gives you Karens, you just make karenade!
This is terrible business advice.
"Unless life is also giving you sugar, your lemonade is going to taste like shit."
... is he making lemon-shaped piss bombs from those piss jars which are then vacuumed away for safe storage & times of need?
There might have been a mixup & life keeps accidentally giving me those lemons.
Battles have literally been won on avoiding scurvy. Can’t remember which side but Spainish armada vs England naval battles. Had spies report back they were eating sauerkraut and thus didn’t get scurvy. Hard to fight a war while sick
When life gives you lemons, urine trouble.
this image speaks to me
Is that how it’s told now?
Is it all so old?
Is it made of lemon juice?
