If life gives you lemons, make a scaleable operation.

Alright I've been thinking. 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 going to burn your house down...with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

Somebody needs to make life take those lemons back!

I propose some variety of arson… with the lemons.

Burning people! He says what we're all thinking!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

Dad, are we really trying to create combustible lemons?

Yes, we arson!

Me after working every day for four months straight. 😑

Yeah I work four part time jobs. I'm working every single day. It is a real bummer.

[–] v4ld1z 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Sorry to hear that. I hope it gets better for you soon ❤️

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Just a few more months and I'll only have one and all my debt will be paid off. There's light at the end of the tunnel!

[–] v4ld1z 1 points 7 months ago

That's amazing! I'm glad for you

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Lol you've got a job with weekends.

[–] v4ld1z 2 points 7 months ago

Well, not so much a job as an apprenticeship that I'm payed for. But yea, I've only had to work Saturdays when I worked in retail.

It's good that this came along, since the Cave Johnson monologue just reads like a Karen nowadays.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

When life gives you Karens, you just make karenade!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

This is terrible business advice.

"Unless life is also giving you sugar, your lemonade is going to taste like shit."

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

... is he making lemon-shaped piss bombs from those piss jars which are then vacuumed away for safe storage & times of need?

There might have been a mixup & life keeps accidentally giving me those lemons.

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

When life gives you lemons, urine trouble.

Battles have literally been won on avoiding scurvy. Can’t remember which side but Spainish armada vs England naval battles. Had spies report back they were eating sauerkraut and thus didn’t get scurvy. Hard to fight a war while sick

Is that how it’s told now?
Is it all so old?
Is it made of lemon juice?
