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! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
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 you’re officially old
Cave Johnson answered that but I can't recall and quote all that.

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.
Is that like a gin Old-Fashioned?
I know it as "gin fix".
Grill them. Seriously.
That sounds illegal
It's amazing. The sugars caramelize and the bitterness falls away, leaving you with the perfect accompaniment to grilled meats or veggies.
Sounds cool but also sacrilege.
"Alright lemons, I'm asking the questions round here, you got that?”
Does it work on a frying pan (without oil, of course)?
Asking for a friend.
Yes! You can put them facedown while you're roasting a chicken in the pan, for example.
Thank you! I'm gonna do it.
If life also gives you copper wire and a USB-C plug, you could make a comically large and inefficient charger.
Sometimes you don't have sugar or water onhand and can't actually make lemonade. You just gotta eat the lemons. It sucks but you gotta.
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.
Lemon bars 🤤
I also came here to recommend lemon bars! Here's a viral recipe that everyone (including myself) swears by.
I've made this cake a couple of times. It's quite good.
You should take their seeds, irradiate them and set up a gamma garden
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.
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 lemonade. - Get mad!! Make life take the lemons back!!
When life gives you lemons...

Cocaine
I'll do you one further : Cocainade
Hell yes, rocket propelled cocainades
Kinda depend how much lemon Life gave you. If it's one, maybe make a glass of lemonade with sugary syrup and salted dried sour plum. Add the dried plum into 1/10 mug of hot water, stir for a few second, add in the lemon juice and some ice, then fill it up with water and you got a glass of refreshing lemonade.
If it's a few, maybe you can make lemon pound cake or lemon cheese cake instead.
I mean, you make lemonade. Not just because of the adage, but because lemonade is delicious.
pull out the zester and take off that outer rine. slice it into haves and squeeze out all of the juice, and throw the pulp away. sprinkle the juice over a nice piece of fish and some salad. cook the fish and serve the salad. problems solved.
Give them to me.
I agree. Give them to this person. ^^
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.
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.
Find a fuck-load of sugar and carbonated water
Good luck :)
life gave you free lemons? #gifted. those shits are like $1 a pop in the grocery stores.
Make love
Not war
How badly are you anchored in you current location. If nothing is holding you back, drop everything, pick a direction and go, till you find something or something finds you.

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 is usually the answer, I concur

Build a lemon cannon and fire them right back.
