Any lemon recipe suggestions

\she’s 44, for people asking her age\.

Finally! The engineers made the combustible lemons that burn your house down

I'm holding a memo from the President, and it turns out that soylent green is... let's see here... doubling in price. Now listen up: I don't care how good people tastes. This stuff's costing me more than lobster, so we're going back to fishsticks.

I'd go with Bloody Stupid Johnson, but possibly this isn't architecture enough.

3

u/The_Gypsy_Smyth Sep 01 '26

When did that ever stop B. S. Johnson?? A pipe organ is not, technically, architecture.

1

u/tenebrigakdo Sep 01 '26

It is still more architecture-adjacent compared to lemon grenades. Similarly, a bathroom is not technically architecture.

3

u/The_Gypsy_Smyth Sep 01 '26

You may be right about the lemon grenades. However, I will argue heavily about the bathroom statement. There are Greek and roman baths, The hammam, the Victorian Turkish bath, and likely so many other examples across culture and time. And this does not even begin to touch on ones which I have seen, and had to draw floor plans for. Admittedly, lots of modern architecture is bland and very copy paste in appearance, but it is still technically architecture (even if it is a crime against aesthetics).

u/tenebrigakdo Sep 01 '26

I think it was more a water installation project in that case than an architectural one. However you make a good point about the baths.

u/Apprehensive-Pin518 Sep 01 '26

It is hilarious that all I had to do was Crtl+F for cave and I found you. I knew you would be here.

What? I thought it was supposed to burn Life's house down.

u/FalenAlter Sep 01 '26

What if you are life?

11

u/Galactinaut_001 Sep 01 '26

I'm not. If I was Life, my childhood dog wouldn't have grown old.

u/ComfortableSalt8631 Sep 01 '26

Ouch brother, that one really hurt 🤕

u/-o-DildoGaggins-o- Sep 01 '26

Yeah that turned dark real quick. I’m sorry, Galactinaut. ☹️ I miss my childhood dog, too. 🫶🏻

Just binged the first three seasons and mostly caught up to the 4th and damnit I see why people love it.

u/pchlster Sep 01 '26

Roy Kunt is great and so is Danny, even if they're about as different from each other as people get.

2

u/FalenAlter Sep 01 '26

Brett Goldstein is also really good in Shrinking (my current binge) but Shrinking is not nearly as good as Ted Lasso

u/atmoose Sep 01 '26

Life is the name of the whale I live in. Thankfully I don't think he's flammable. Life would explode pretty good though

Don't give me no flak

u/Far-Computer8825 Sep 01 '26

If these have live fuses … It’s the best smelling explosive in existence. Non lethal, 100% the biggest mess. But refreshing!

2

u/Bob_Newshart Sep 01 '26

That's easy to say - until you get some of the juice and pulp shrapnel in your eyes!!

u/Far-Computer8825 Sep 01 '26

I’d imagine that specific feeling is how Mr clean’s kids felt when he got home and they hadn’t picked up said toys they were told to.
“ Dad!!! I love you .. please stop!! It burns so much!”

Edit: MY EYES*** holy piss that looks a whole lot worse now that I’m actually reading it aloud

“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 gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!”

u/yozymandias Sep 01 '26

Cave Johnson was something else

u/dylans-alias Sep 01 '26

He says what we’re all thinking.

2

u/Crazyguy_123 Sep 02 '26

Absolutely and his lines are kinda hilarious. I saw in an interview with JK Simmons and he actually considers Cave Johnson to be his favorite voice acting role he has done.

Had to think of this guy

u/Elysium_Chronicle Sep 01 '26

The fact that this guy somehow exists independently of Portal 2 memes is kinda wild.

u/RecommendationIll504 Sep 01 '26

Fun note. In russian, grenades nickname is literally lemons. With a small word twist but the point still stands

u/FrostyConsequence97 Sep 01 '26

Ok Cave Johnson.

u/IAmLexica Sep 01 '26

Cave Johnson. We're done here.

u/Different_Stable_351 Sep 01 '26

Cave Johnson had to have been behind this.

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '26

Lemons are a hybrid fruit. Life didn't give us lemons, we demanded and made our own lemons.

u/cabronfavarito Sep 01 '26

This is infuriatingly good

This make look just like your ordinary lemon...

u/mightylordredbeard Sep 01 '26

These lemon-nades seem like it’d be a COD skin that some 12 year kid would blow you to hell and back with from the other side of the map over and over again while they emote some quirky modern pop dance.

u/KyeeLim Sep 01 '26

life never gave us lemon, we invented it all by ourselves

1

u/FaliureToCat Sep 01 '26

a lemon isn't naturally occurring and is a hybrid by cross breeding a bitter orange and a citron, which means life never gave us lemons; we invented them all by ourselves
