Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

......that sounds good actually. Ugh! All this time scientists have spent on things like AIDS research, and vaccines, and we could have had a nice tasty frosty glass of Lemorangeaid!

EMERGENCY MEETING

[โ€“] Thorry@feddit.org 4 points 3 months ago

Imagine selling home grown organic lemons and then adding an ungodly amount of plastic to the packaging. Just add a little cardboard tag to the net. But the net is probably plastic as well, designed to perfectly trap wildlife once it gets dumped in the ocean.

The Ugly Lemon

[โ€“] Fedegenerate@fedinsfw.app 1 points 3 months ago

Huh, I thought the 'line that processes lemons' and the 'line that processes oranges' would be seperate. At least seperate times to retool, if not seperate building, or even seperate countries.

TIL, citrus fruits all get sent to the same place and packaged there.

Have any of them been pilfered by the promiscuous?

Lemons and oranges can cross i guess?

My high ass was trying to see amogus in the shape of the bag, then checked the comm, then reread the title, then tried to find amogus amongst the fruit

The comments made me realize I'm a dumbass and need to critically observe the info given

There's an old saying in Tennessee -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee -- when life hands you oranges, make lemonade.

Everyone knows lemons are just unripened oranges, that's why they taste sour...

[โ€“] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I was born in 1983. Right in the midst of reagan times. So I don't know what lemons tasted like before reagan.

What I do know is that for my whole life, lemons have been sour.

Who's to say they aren't just sour about the prison industrial complex?
