The past is a foreign country.
(lemmy.world)
I don't get it, but this dude was really into lemons.
So let me get this straight... if you want to hand someone a lemon, you need to give it to a stork to give it to a naked fairy who will give it to them.
we still have a couple of lemon giving phrases that survive "when life gives you lemons". "looks like that car you bought is a lemon"
lemons are sour instead of sweet like most fruit. my guess is that a lemon is a thing to generally make your day/life worse, especially if it seemed like a good thing at first.
makes sense in the context of a "confirmed bachelor". he's giving that lemon to a stork. he's not going to have children. someone married him and he's not going to have children. back in the day that would be seen as defeating the point of marriage, though the real implication is he's gay and married for a beard.
in the context of other relationships or a breakup they thought they were dating someone for keeps, turns out they weren't worth it. they were a lemon, looked sweet but tasted sour when bitten into.
Those damn lemon stealing whores.
Everett True would snap this man like a twig
The stork, or whatever, is about to punch him in the dick
I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these?!
If a bachelor gives you lemons, make lemonade. And then spit it in his face because you're a weird bird that makes lemonade.
Make life take the lemons back!
A little context here: https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2020/02/13/how-to-leave-your-lover-with-lemons/
It seems to be some kind "fuck you, I'm breaking up" signal..
Okay, now I'm confused again, because there's no way this is a gay couple.
Weird. A massive pop culture trend that fell off the end of the Earth.
This feels like it's trying to encourage babies: angry stork, bachelor, lemons (as faulty or nonfunctioning).
I think you're right but what it reminds me of is that tool some times used to teach people about consent like "you wouldn't make someone drink tea if they said they didn't want any, so dont pester someone about sex if they say they didn't want any" maybe this is like "you wouldn't give someone a lemon if they said they didn't want it"? idk it feels kinda like it fits but that seems pretty progressive for the time this was made
This bird is getting ready to kick him in the dick.
They've been given a lemon and they're choosing violence.
So remember kids, If life gives you lemons, organize a violent revolution to overthrow the bourgeoisie.
What is the message here? Can someone ELI5?
God knows. If I knew, I wouldn't have made the foreign country comment. Apparently bachelors giving lemons to storks was a funny idea back before the invention of radio?
He's a "confirmed bachelor." No woman will get anything but a lemon from him.
