The Silent Generation: "When life hands you lemons… Don’t Take the Lemons! GET MAD! Demand life take the lemons back! Ask to see life’s manager! Do you know who I am? I’M THE MAN WHOSE GONNA BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN. WITH THE LEMONS.
I’ve tasked the boys down in the lab to assemble some incendiary lemon grenades."
factually correct, as long as you have enough lemon peel you can steam distill limonene from it. it’s so cheap in citrus producing countries it’s used as a paint stripper. and yes it’s pretty flammable
what are you talking about, because moonshine manufacture is not steam distillation and you can’t exactly distill off anything psychoactive this way. this is only really useful for fragrances and please don’t use this bs in modern lab this is 100+ years old technique, it’s an unbelievable mess, vaccum pumps and column chromatography exist please and thank you

This is the only version of this idiom that I will ever use or subscribe to.
I like the Bruce Greenwood version from Fall of the House of Usher.

Is this a Cave Johnson quote or am I misremembering
Yeah more or less, I wrote it down by memory so a few words might be off.
Regardless, good quote and good execution :)

Factually correct - in many countries steam distillation is illegal because you can also steam distill tasty things that make you feel good.

It’s almost the same thing, but if you use a thump keg it is the same thing. It was intended as a joke more than anything.
