@omally Yeah, I don’t want life’s dang lemons; what am I supposed to do with these? I demand to see life’s manager! I’ll make life rue the day it thought it could give Weboh 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!
You cut the tip off. And after you have kind of wish them up a little bit to get them juicy. Then you get one of those See’s Candy suckers and stick them in
Look around for the person to whom life gave sugar, then try to set up a lemonade stand together.
(While trying to hide my resentment that life gave them the all-’round more versatile ingredient.)
@OnionSoup I’m pretty sure birds give us eggs. Or more accurately, we steal them from birds. (All while being careful to distribute the stolen bounty among multiple baskets.)
@macromeh@OnionSoup chickens lay eggs regardless if they had sex with a rooster or not. The eggs from most stores are unfertilized and would never have become a new born chicken. This is why, as a vegetarian, I will eat something containing chicken eggs.
Depends on what time of day.
Before my first cup of coffee:
Invent an automated lemon launching slingshot and return a withering barrage of kinetic lemon fire.
After my second or greater cup of coffee:
Look up recipes for every kind of lemony drink, dish and dessert I can think of, since I’m actually kind of fond of lemons.
Between the first and second cup it’s a coin toss.
Make Limoncello.
@cengland0
That’s exactly why I keep a Meyer lemon tree!
@cengland0 came here to say this!
@cengland0 @KSchweitz
a close second use for my Meyers is lemon curd…
@cengland0 @chienfou @KSchweitz Yum.
Eat them. Lemons are tasty.
make life take the lemons back

@omally @Weboh Hello, fellow based Portal enjoyers.
Since I don’t cook or do any food preparation, I’d find someone to take them off my hands.
@ratman, you just eat out all the time?
@kittykat9180 Eat out, take out, grocery store deli. A lot of friends who actually enjoy cooking know that I’m always available to foist extras onto.

Throw them away. I hate lemons!
@gjrupert Lemons are useful for cleaning even if you don’t like the taste …
@gjrupert @Kyeh And cats hate the smell so you can uses the peel or a touch of juice to keep them away from something.
Plant the seeds.
@hchavers ok then what will you do with the lemon tree???
@hchavers @mycya4me if the variety breeds true, it will be susceptible to root fungus and won’t be around long.
@mycya4me @werehatrack Short term planning returns short term results. Plan for the long term.
@werehatrack
Where did you find that factoid? I have had plenty of luck with trees from seed. But then, maybe I’m just lucky…
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Forget them on the counter til they turn to mush.
Cut them into thin slices and put one on the rim of your water glass to look fancy.
Put wedges in my water glass

Sign up for a long sailing trip. Possibly with pirates, for the fun of it. I’ll save everyone from scurvy!
@xobzoo great idea!
Salad dressing.
Make piemonade.
Give them to a little kid, tell them to try it, record it, post it on instagram.
Make an omelette.
Wait, no that’s when life gives you eggs.

@macromeh birds are alive. They’re “life”.
@macromeh @OnionSoup
When did this happen? Did the Monotremes give up their one unique feature?
@macromeh @OnionSoup chickens lay eggs regardless if they had sex with a rooster or not. The eggs from most stores are unfertilized and would never have become a new born chicken. This is why, as a vegetarian, I will eat something containing chicken eggs.
@cengland0 @OnionSoup Huh, I eat them because I like them (and our chickens provide lots).
/youtube make an omelette something rotten
This is what my original post was referring to fwiw.
Return them for oranges.
@Kidsandliz Limes would be better.
@yakkoTDI Nope nope nope. I hate sour things.
I put them back and get limes.
And then I make limeade.
@kittykat9180 Limeade? Is that an alternate name for Mojito?
Forget about them and find them a few months later when there’s a funky smell in the kitchen
Wait. How do I get life to give me lemons? I always have to buy them.
Throw in some more cash and keep pulling the lever.
Philosophical lemons? Find the person responsible and arrange for them to get a delivery of 700 kilos of slightly overripe durian.
I give 'em back! I say “I don’t want your fucking lemons, life!”
HOLY CRAP, LEMONS ARE FALLING FROM THE SKY

Juice them and write an “invisible ink” letter!
(Recipient just has to hold it over heat.)
Combust them.
