There is too much once in a lifetime shit happening in my lifetime

Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these?

I also hear Cave Johnson yelling in my head, good times in deed.

Tap for info on the quoteCharacter from Portal2 game by valve, the quote in full:

"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! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

how do you get mad at an abstract concept?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Pretty sure that’s a classic internet pastime

[–] Klear 7 points 1 month ago

Fuck abstract concepts. All my homies hate abstract concepts.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Jokes on you, I already work in an Amazon warehouse.

[–] errer 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Good news: we’re all working in Amazon warehouses soon

[–] Hackworth 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And live in Amazon housing? See you in the Amazon commissary.

Reminder that life did not give us lemons. We created them deliberately after multiple generations of choosing the most lemon-y lemons.

[–] abcdqfr 3 points 1 month ago

This is true in two ways :) which makes me sad :(

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

This is just one of the many reasons I lay heaps of blame at Baby Boomer feet.

[–] Tedesche 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But…by your own admission, life did give us lemons. We just made more lemony.

[–] nialv7 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

No, lemon is literally a human creation, made by crossing citron with bitter orange.

[–] lemmy_get_my_coat 2 points 1 month ago

Do limes not factor in somewhere?

Tired of the impending apocalypse. Tired of feeling like I am useless.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

So say we all.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

Where's that lemon stealing whore when you need her?

[–] disguy_ovahea 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Life didn’t give you lemons. They’re a citron and a bitter orange hybrid that we created.

The analogy still stands.

[–] Ultraviolet 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Humans are the cause of all these problems too.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

It's almost as if turning the entire Earth into human centred habitats was a bad idea.

You're gonna need a bigger juicer
