When life gives you lemons, look for a lemon stealing whore.

Bro I'm on acid rn and the fuckin face just freaked me out on the last panel

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

Christ, I would think that the last thing you'd want to be doing on acid is browsing the internet where you can't be sure of what exactly you'll scroll across.

Maybe I'm vitally misunderstanding acid trips, but where's your trip guide/designated driver/sober buddy? Where's your pre-prepped/vetted media to keep you from a bad experience?

[–] TwanHE@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

Trip sitters and vetting content isn't required imo if u know yourself and how you react to drugs in general.

But building up the dosage slowly and having someone there for the first time is probably smart.

I'd also avoid taking an hour bike trip through a dark forest but hindsight is 20/20, theme parks are great fun on the other hand though.

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

last acid trip consisted of me browsing Lemmy for many hours aswell, because my "trip guide" kinda bailed on me, but it still wasn't all that bad. Really, its all about the mindset, if you can convince yourself that everything is fine, it is.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 hours ago

My last acid trip involved spending a night at a campsite. I'm not really sure how or why...we didn't have a camper...or a tent. We just found a patch of grass in a rather busy campground and tripped balls in the open all night.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 1 points 9 hours ago

Man reading the random weird shit I found online was a fun part of my trips, sooo many weird but interesting rabbit holes you find, it's like they're hidden slightly askew from reality.

I'm just here to comment how nice it is to see semicolons used, and correctly used at that, in a meme. Sexy

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago

That’s just what the Grammar Industrial Complex wants you to believe about their so-called punctuation.

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

is it more correct here than a comma and why?

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

the explanation i received a long time ago in grade school was:

commas should be used when you want to combine a sentence with a sentence fragment (i.e. something that’s not a sentence); semicolons should be used when you want to combine a sentence with another sentence, provided both sentences are closely related to each other.

now, i’m sure the actual rule is probably more complicated and nuanced than that, but the above idea has served me well throughout my academic career. i’ve found it helpful for getting an intuition on when they should be used and why.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

It’s probably just a typo.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 73 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

Like life would just "give" you lemons..

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

When life rents you lemons...

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

You don’t buy lemonade, you rent it.

Give cave johnson the lemmons?

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

I DON'T WANT YOUR DAMN LEMONS! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THESE?!

[–] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 62 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

The irony of Cave Johnson being the one saying this...

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 35 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

As in JK Simmons voices that guy? I've never watched the show but suddenly I can hear his voice so vividly.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 48 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Yes. JK Simmons voices both Omni-man, and the founder of Aperture Science from Portal, where he had a rant about Life giving you Lemons (and how he'd weaponize them by creating a combustible lemon)

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

After watching whiplash, I have a hard time seeing him and not hating his guts.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

How about the Legend of Whiplash?

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 23 points 15 hours ago

The molecule responsible for orange and lemon flavours are just mirror images of each other.

"When life gives you bitter oranges and citrons, make lemons."

[–] AliasVortex@lemmy.world 25 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Was half expecting a slightly more combustible take on lemons...

[–] Armand1@lemmy.world 19 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

What do you mean by "Citrons" that just means lemon in French and I've never heard it used in English.

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 9 hours ago

Same reaction here, Zitrone in German is lemon.

But it seems this is an issue for many language pairs, they have a section on it on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citron#Other_languages

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 20 points 17 hours ago (2 children)
[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 29 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

For the lazy:

"A source of confusion is that 'citron' in French and English are false friends, as the French word 'citron' refers to what in English is a lemon; whereas the French word for the citron is 'cédrat'.
...
Other languages that use variants of citron to refer to the lemon include Armenian, Czech, Dutch, Finnish, German, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Hungarian, Esperanto, Polish and the Scandinavian languages.[citation needed]"

[–] Ghoelian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 28 minutes ago* (last edited 27 minutes ago)

Yeah just looked it up, and apparently a citron tree is called a sukade tree (sukadeboom) in Dutch, and the fruits are called ceder apples (cederappel) for some reason. I had heard of sukade before but had no idea it had anything to do with citrus.

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 hours ago

I have no idea what that thing is

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 17 hours ago

Lemons are a social construct

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 17 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these!!!!

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 15 points 15 hours ago

Make lemon-nades.

[–] XOXOX@lemmy.world 8 points 17 hours ago

I've never seen this cartoon, but this dude with the mustache has to be some Xer's top fantasy.

We all got holes to fill
And them holes are all that's real
Some fall on you like a storm
Sometimes you dig your own
