When life gives you lemons immediately take note as you may be stuck in a computer simulation, lemons are not naturally occuring and thus life has no lemons to give you, do not be fooled by the illusion your captors erected to keep you stuck in a computer simulation and harvest your brain waves for mining cryptocurrency.

But they were all of them deceived, for another citrus was bred. In the sun-scorched groves of Barbados, in hidden orchards, Captain Shaddock labored in secret to create the grapefruit, that would outshine all citrus. And into this grapefruit they nurtured all their boldness, their ambition, and their desire to reshape the taste of life itself. One fruit to eclipse them all.

One by one, the free gardens of Pan-Gaea fell to the power of the Grapefruit, but there were some who resisted. A last alliance of citrus and citron marched against the armies of Florida, and on the very swamps of Ever Glade, they fought for the freedom of Pan-Gaea. Victory was near, but the power of the furanco courmarin could not be undone. It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Tangelo, son of the king, took up his fatherās rootstock.

Fun fact Citroƫn is called like that because the maker was of Dutch decent. He was called Citroen, Dutch for the fruit. One of his teachers mistakingly added the trema, and he sick with it, finding it more classy and easier to pronounce for the French than his Dutch spelled name.

I don't see how those look funky. Could I get a comparison? If you were at mine and told me to fetch a lemon from the store, that's what I'd bring.
Edit okay maybe that's actually knobblier than the ones in the shop. In Finnish that would be "sukaattisitruuna"

Norwegian here. "Sitron" is a direct translation of "lemon". Meanwhile, apparently the English "citron" is in Norwegian called "cedrat". So it's extremely confusing, yes.

It just occurred to me that were a person to complain about life giving them lemons, that's basically like how Homer Simpson complained about finding money when he was looking for a peanut. It's indeed true that money would be unpleasant to eat directly, but that's not how it's supposed to be used, anyways.

No one mentions F1 hybrid? Mass produced vegitables and fruits are often offspring of 2 distinct varieties, carefully selected to inherit desireble traits from both sides but no guarantee for 2nd generation.
Kind of soft-lock drm bcs people need to keep buying the specific seed if people want max yield. (I've read article gathering seeds from store brought tomato, growth werent great and the yields were unstable in both taste and quantity, but they managed to iterate 6 generations or so. The "traits" of F1 offsprings stabilize around that so you can keep growing your own variety).
Heirloom seeds don't have this issue, but they likely have quirks or less immunity compared to F1.
