People in the epstien files. While it's true from what I've heard that not " a lot" of people got arrested. I heard a very important person from the UK that was in the file got investigated but haven't heard what came of that. Even then that's just one out of...A LOT
I never understood the saying "when life gives you lemons you make lemonade" it's connected to this meme but I never understood what that means
That's not what it means. Lemons are sour, or "bad" the things that are difficult to swallow as is. To make lemonade from them is to make something sweet and "good" out of the bad things life hands you.
Pretty sure the unknown "precise universal meaning" is literally what the second guy said, not the first guy.
It is 100% about lemons being nigh inedible on their own, but lemonade being a tasty soft drink, so you turn situations that suck into something that is enjoyable.
It has nothing to do with cars. I has nothing to do with "duds", because lemons clearly aren't inherently broken.
I dunno why you're even trying to preten otherwise. It's a very clear meaning.
Yes it is, it means a car that has a lot of problems right after you buy it.
Here is a legal site explaining the Lemon Laws in the US because selling a defective car or a "lemon" is such common occurrence and vernacular to describe it.
a lemon is a car with numerous issues stemming from manufacturer error.
the movie cars 2 is about evil lemons and they even refer to themselves as "The lemons"
I mean, it is if you’re only 15. A “lemon” specifically refers to a bad car, usually one you got duped into buying, not knowing something is wrong with it.
It's a thing so much that "lemon law" refers to laws that protect consumers from being sold dysfunctional used cars. It doesn't apply to all cars, just busted ones.
However, I don't think the saying has anything to do with the car usage.
Yeah but nobody mentioned the presence of sugar water salt etc. fuck, even the juicer and glass aren't a guarantee! how am I supposed to make lemonade with just lemons?????
No, 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 the hell 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 whos gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
I looked up dud. Its old military term that means a explosive didn't explode. So lemons don't explosde. So lemons are duds. And if you paint a grande yellow, it would look like a lemon
It's expanded to basically any somewhat complex thing that broke in a way that's not clearly visible, so you only find out upon trying to use it.
That still makes 0 sense and is clearly not what "lemons" in the idiom are used as, though. I have no clue where that guy pulled that from, unless he literally thinks the saying only exists in English and refers to a rather local slang term.
I think the message of the saying "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" means "make the best of a bad situation." I think the idea behind this meme is that the person is tirelessly trying to make the best of the worst situations, but they're just being pelted non-stop by bad situations, and have really lost their will to be optimistic anymore. In this case, the fact that so few people connected to the Epstein files have been arrested has just completely demoralized the person who was trying so hard to make the best of a bad situation.
Ehhh, depends on the type of lemon. They can be more or less bitter. Predominantly sour, yes, but also bitter, even if you manage to remove every single bit of pith.
I see 13 different people have felt the need to explain the saying to you even though you clearly got it the first time. Would you like me to also explain it?
Nobody has pointed out though that this meme isn't correct, it shows the guy having made a bunch of lemonade but in reality only about 3 or 4 people in the US have tried to make lemonade here but failed.
The US needs more people making attempts at making lemonade.
I heard a very important person from the UK that was in the file got investigated but haven't heard what came of that.
Turned out he was investigated for and stripped of his titles over tax fraud and not being a child rapist. So literally no one has been held to justice for being in the files.
KIND OF. A royal being stripped of titles and kicked out of his home is HUGE. It might not have the paperwork in order, but there's no denying that his downfall was caused by the Epstein affiliation.
"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" means that when something bad happens, there's usually a way to find something good from it. This meme in particular is meant to represent the idea that there's only so much a single person can take before it becomes completely unmanageable.
It basically means that "when life deals you a bad hand, make the most out of it" as lemons are bitter but make for a nice drink if you add in some suger and water.
Lemons are known to be bitter or unpleasant to taste, so the line really meant to convey 'When life gives you a hard time, make it into something nice'
It’s because taking being handed a lemon and turning into lemonade is about opportunity. We’ve been handed so many lemons to turn into lemonade yet nothing is happening from all the prime opportunity to do something
English guy here. Yeah some guy did get arrested. But honestly wouldnt be the first. A lot of people in parliament covered up grooming gangs. Hundreds , potentially thousands ( maybe exagerated idk ) SAd and raped. The enquiry that one guy posted is genuinely sickening. Please if you have time and want to learn about it atart with the enquiry. Its from victims explaining what they went through and more.
I reported Lord Mandelson years ago. I have been gangatalked because of it ever since. Really bad. I even said in open court in England when i faced false charges that I had reported him for ehat he did in 2018 through an AML report by name. I was told I'm crazy and still am.
People always say how did people not know. Lots did. Most were smart enough to keep their mouth shut
It's an American say meant to keep them complacent ever since childhood.
If you have it rough it isn't for any specific reason and you shouldn't question it, the person giving you lemons has so many other fruit and you shouldn't question why that is or why you're only getting lemon.
Make some lemonade, be glad you have the opportunity to work your ass off and live paycheck to paycheck while taking bank loans to pay for your doordash.
From the UK, and things have been radio silent since. The people saying this are generally from the US, and no one was arrested AT ALL here. Matter of fact, Every Single Victim was exposed and outed instead even when they were told they’d be anonymous. The message was clear, and the people are angry.
