This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Accurate explanation, though it highlights the NPC / monkey brain level of these comments:

Monke see comment
Monke think same
Dopamine released
Click like button
Monke happi

Which of course happens similarly IRL, but it’s less cringe as it’s just a passing verbal comment, not captured and displayed on the web for all eternity.

That's just empathy though? Putting yourself in someone else's shoes and relating to what they thought at the time. You can infer a lot more than surface level description from someone repeating a specific line mentioned in a video.
