Combustible lemons, aka lemon-nades.
Burning people! He says what we're all thinking!
Was waiting for the Cave Johnson comment.
..arson again, you see! It's the way to go!
This is such a wonderful throw-back
Have a lemon party.
If you understand this person youβre officially old
Old and looking to PARTY!
It's weird being the same age as old people, tbh.
What if I understand but wish I didn't?
That comment is goated, I think it's so goated that I think it's deserving of the adjective. It's a totally goatse comment.

Arson
Arson is usually the answer, I concur
Cave Johnson answered that but I can't recall and quote all that.

If life also gives you copper wire and a USB-C plug, you could make a comically large and inefficient charger.
I like to buy discounted old lemons. I wrap them up and toss them in the freezer. They thaw ugly but are still good for cooking.
Good idea In what do you wrap them? Aluminium foil? Or caj I put them in freezer bags?
Plastic wrap, but a freezer bag with the air squeezed out would work too.
Squeeze half of the lemon, put it into shaker. Add a lot of ice and two teaspoons of powdered sugar. Shake it hard. Pour everything into a glass and add 5cl of gin. Steer it gently and enjoy your gin fix.

Salted preserved lemons are delicious. Quarter them lengthwise but not all the way to the end, then smash them down into a jar with lots of salt, pack in as many as you can. Seal it up and give it a shake off and on for a few days, then leave it in the refrigerator for a month. Yum. Use the peels in cooking, they are salty, sour, bright tasting.
I recently figured out that I can make fresh chopped baby spinach (and kale and chard) by chopping it up and frying it in my cast iron frying pan with some avo oil.
Top it off with lemon juice. Tastes great.
Make lemon cake π°
Cocaine
I'll do you one further : Cocainade
Hell yes, rocket propelled cocainades
Egyptians didn't have cranes, but that didn't stop them, they used what they had (alot of /slaves/ workers died but that's not the point), and made amaizing pyramid structures that stand tall to this day.
I mean, lemonade came from a dude who only had lemons on his farm (at least it's what I believe)
What ever life gave you, it has potential that might not have been discovered, yet. I mean, who'd thought a long-cross screw and nuts on either side could be used to lift a tonne of vehicle for a tyre change?
Use what you have to bring about what you love.
Egyptians didn't have cranes
But they did have storks, which are almost as good.
When life gives you storks...
...make pyramids.
Throw them at the clown who gave them to you while you were asking for something to eat.
You should take their seeds, irradiate them and set up a gamma garden
Find a fuck-load of sugar and carbonated water
Good luck :)
The last time life gave me lemons, I gave them to someone starving on the streets.
Honestly if I was homeless and someone handed me a lemon⦠like, just a lemon⦠desperate times I guess
No risk of scurvy at least.
Give them to me.
I agree. Give them to this person. ^^
I mean, you make lemonade. Not just because of the adage, but because lemonade is delicious.
Juice them and freeze the juice as ice cubes, then bag them, store in deep freezer.
Then you have delicious lemon juice ready at your finger tips for ever and ever.
