Meanwhile the boomers built a Lemon Trust Score that says you need to start squeezing lemons from day one to be trusted to make lemonade, so the lemon bank will give you a lemon loaf that takes 30 years to pay back with twice as much juice as any lemon can make. All while the news tells us that outsiders who never had a lemon in their life want to take our juice, but really it's juice lord propaganda against any new juicers.
We are drowning in lemons and can't make lemonade without giving it all away, leaving us with all the labor and none of the juice.
Shut up and make juice for me or else I'll stop renting my 14th lemon loaf to you!

"When life promises you lemons as a child and drills into your head the importance of preparing to make lemonade because the lemons are coming and you've got to be ready and get the sugar and the water and the ice ready because you're totally gunna get those lemons and have a lemonade-based future of stability and fulfillment and happiness, prepare to be blamed when the lemons don't arrive."
Makes me cry. The good luck I've had in my life should mean I could retire early. The bad luck I've had in my life means I still have no retirement fund. But at least I haven't gone through foreclosures like a lot of people my generation have.
Don't forget punishing you for spending all your time and money on sugar, ice, water, pitchers, and practice learning to make lemonade.
See I'm a younger GenXer and I'd have to agree with this 100%. Except the only addition for me would be there wasn't even anyone around to tell me about the lemons, just a note left on the table vaguely mentioning them.
"Why are millennials killing the lemon industry? We asked 10 boomers for their opinion, and the top answer will SHOCK you"
I like the Bruce Greenwood version from Fall of the House of Usher.
factually correct, as long as you have enough lemon peel you can steam distill limonene from it. it's so cheap in citrus producing countries it's used as a paint stripper. and yes it's pretty flammable
Factually correct - in many countries steam distillation is illegal because you can also steam distill tasty things that make you feel good.
what are you talking about, because moonshine manufacture is not steam distillation and you can't exactly distill off anything psychoactive this way. this is only really useful for fragrances and please don't use this bs in modern lab this is 100+ years old technique, it's an unbelievable mess, vaccum pumps and column chromatography exist please and thank you
moonshine manufacture is not steam distillation
It's almost the same thing, but if you use a thump keg it is the same thing. It was intended as a joke more than anything.
I'm gonna have to say it? Lemons are crossbred between a citron and a sour orange. Life never gave us lemons. We made that shit ourselves.
What I learned recently:
Lemons are a hybrid of citrons and bitter oranges. Which means life never gave us lemons. We gave ourselves lemons and then proceeded to bitch about it.
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 gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
Hey that sounds fun! I wonder what kind of stuff you would bring. If only I had some ideas for a Lemon Party 🤔
I thought that was the point. I've just assumed that gen Z realized there's nothing fun left so you gotta make your own fun whether or not it makes sense.
that's actually pretty fucking brilliant lmao
can't be called crazy if everything is already crazy too
Gen x and millennials are flipped here I'm pretty sure. Genx would say "meh" when given a lemon. Millennials would open a startup called "L3monz"
They're the noises you make while having sex in your lemon suit with an orange you barely know.
when you thought everything would be easy peasy lemon squeezy but it's actually difficult difficult lemon difficult
