i have a friend who was doing a twitch fundraiser, right? it was a fundraiser for a good cause. i DO fundraisers for a living. So i pop on, say hi, she doesn't recognize me, i drop in 50 bucks because fundraiser and i could afford to tighten the belt that month. like, this is a normal donation in the charity world. She Did Not Tell Me that she was eating a slice of lemon for every dollar that was donated. Oh My Gods i have never felt so guilty for doing a fundraiser i tried to stop her. I had no idea this was a huge donation for twitch.

honestly, i still feel kinda guilty and it's been years.

Paying your friend to eat 50 lemon slices in a row is a fantastic story at least. That's hilarious.

accidentally paying your friend to eat 50 lemon slices in a row.

five whole lemons.

i really wish she'd told me the lemons on my lemon tree are sweet, not sour. why did she use her own lemons

If she used sweet lemons, the whores would steal them

No wait, you're doing it backwards. Whores are the financially responsible ones, they accept money, not give it.

So what was the plan if there was a $1,000 donation?

Honestly? I think they spent the money in their heads (she was also in the group she was fundraising for) before they ate the lemons in their heads

This was years ago and i have spent like a total of five hours watching twitch(they were all that stream to see if anyone else would make my mistake. She explained the rules better when people logged in)
