The stork, or whatever, is about to punch him in the dick

I don't get it, but this dude was really into lemons.

[–] FlyingSquid 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So let me get this straight... if you want to hand someone a lemon, you need to give it to a stork to give it to a naked fairy who will give it to them.

[–] thedirtyknapkin 9 points 2 months ago

we still have a couple of lemon giving phrases that survive "when life gives you lemons". "looks like that car you bought is a lemon"

lemons are sour instead of sweet like most fruit. my guess is that a lemon is a thing to generally make your day/life worse, especially if it seemed like a good thing at first.

makes sense in the context of a "confirmed bachelor". he's giving that lemon to a stork. he's not going to have children. someone married him and he's not going to have children. back in the day that would be seen as defeating the point of marriage, though the real implication is he's gay and married for a beard.

in the context of other relationships or a breakup they thought they were dating someone for keeps, turns out they weren't worth it. they were a lemon, looked sweet but tasted sour when bitten into.

I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these?!

[–] FlyingSquid 9 points 2 months ago

If a bachelor gives you lemons, make lemonade. And then spit it in his face because you're a weird bird that makes lemonade.

[–] 2ugly2live 2 points 2 months ago

Make life take the lemons back!

This feels like it's trying to encourage babies: angry stork, bachelor, lemons (as faulty or nonfunctioning).

[–] Caboose12000 2 points 2 months ago

I think you're right but what it reminds me of is that tool some times used to teach people about consent like "you wouldn't make someone drink tea if they said they didn't want any, so dont pester someone about sex if they say they didn't want any" maybe this is like "you wouldn't give someone a lemon if they said they didn't want it"? idk it feels kinda like it fits but that seems pretty progressive for the time this was made

A little context here: https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2020/02/13/how-to-leave-your-lover-with-lemons/

It seems to be some kind "fuck you, I'm breaking up" signal..

[–] FlyingSquid 5 points 2 months ago

Okay, now I'm confused again, because there's no way this is a gay couple.

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 2 months ago

Weird. A massive pop culture trend that fell off the end of the Earth.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This bird is getting ready to kick him in the dick.

They've been given a lemon and they're choosing violence.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

So remember kids, If life gives you lemons, organize a violent revolution to overthrow the bourgeoisie.

What is the message here? Can someone ELI5?

[–] FlyingSquid 13 points 2 months ago

God knows. If I knew, I wouldn't have made the foreign country comment. Apparently bachelors giving lemons to storks was a funny idea back before the invention of radio?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

He's a "confirmed bachelor." No woman will get anything but a lemon from him.
