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.

Farming is the second game breaking exploit discovered by humanity, after persistence hunting.
It's weird that you specify "persistence" in relation to hunting. Why wouldn't something that requires less calorie expenditure, like trapping be more notable? Or if not trapping, then projectile weapons.
They're probably referencing another greentext from the perspective of a fast sprinting Elk that can't escape the long-distance persistence endurance of a bipedal human hunter:
the fact you seem to imply that knowledge about primitive hunting strategies is a reference to a greentext gave me psychic damage
is this not semi-common knowledge? Common among nerds at the very least
It is common knowledge, I merely guessed they used that specific hunting strategy over other "food hacks" because this is literally a greentext community.
Never thought I would see/hear this sentence. Of course it would come from 4chan.
Trapping wasn't invented by humans. Spiderwebs exist. But no other species has the ability to run for as long as humans. We're also one of the best species at throwing objects with precision
What about wolves / dogs?
Nope, dogs tire out faster than humans, assuming both are fit and average.
iirc dogs do out perform humans but only in cold climates. They're also second place in general which is a big part of how the whole dog thing got started.
I guess that makes sense, them having warm coats and all
Humans are better at running long distance than doing short sprints.
Weird that you randomly got downvote bombed for asking a question. Lol.
You can’t trap a mammoth, and a mammoth feeds the tribe for weeks
