The Internet Is Having Itself A Freakout Over The Concept Of A Peeled Lime

Some things should never be seen. The skeleton of a ‘Tickle Me Elmo‘. The critters lurking in deep, pitch-black waters. The naked flesh of a freshly skinned lime.

And yet some clear criminal masterminds have done exactly the latter.

Twitter, being the awful place where white men congregate to engage in pissing contests over who can be the most performatively woke, is currently suffering conniptions over the awful concept of peeling a lime.

Not as in extracting the delicious, flavourful rind for cooking purposes. As in stripping the skin off and segmenting it like it’s a bloody mandarin or someshit.

Look. Look at it, in all its horribleness.

It’s the middle of the night but I cannot stop thinking about peeled limes and how evil and cursed the entire concept of peeling a lime is pic.twitter.com/W2OOV8kGZ4

That shit’s like walking into an Airbnb and finding a framed naked photo of the hosts in the 70s on the wall. It’s off-putting.

It didn’t end there either, however. Folks copped to stripping the skin bare off all manor of fruit, even off a grapefruit which just sounds time-consuming.

But the peeled lime is the one that’s really rustled everyone’s jimmies. Incredibly, it’s apparently a thing that people do. They peel the lime and eat it whole. They gobble that business right the hell up.

I used to peel limes and lemons and eat them with sugar.

But this story, told in two parts, captures the essence of this latest online phenomena with “For sale: Baby shoes, never worn“-like deftness and brevity.

that post just inspired me to go peel a lime

Magnifique.

The bottom line here, folks? Peel the lime if you must. But know you are messing with a very delicate order of things by doing so.

These things always have consequences, y’know.
