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?

[–] Gullible 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Pretty sure that’s a classic internet pastime

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

Fuck abstract concepts. All my homies hate abstract concepts.

sounds exhausting

"When life gives you lemons, piss in jars."

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

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

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

"Welcome to Amazon, I love you."

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Do limes not factor in somewhere?

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

So say we all.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Humans are the cause of all these problems too.

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

This looks like a scene from Portal.

You're gonna need a bigger juicer
