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 youβre officially old
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
Arson is usually the answer, I concur
Cave Johnson answered that but I can't recall and quote all that.

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.

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?

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.

If life also gives you copper wire and a USB-C plug, you could make a comically large and inefficient charger.
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.
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.
Make lemon cake π°
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!!

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.
Cocaine
I'll do you one further : Cocainade
Hell yes, rocket propelled cocainades
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.
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.
Find a fuck-load of sugar and carbonated water
Good luck :)
