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:

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

So, what do we Europeans whip out and place on the coffee table to make a statement?

Data protection regulation for dummies I'm assuming? Mein Deutsch ist sehr schlecht.

GDPR for Dummies. GDPR is DSGVO in German, "Datenschutz-Grundverordnung".

No way, that's only after the 5th family date

And too obvious and not specific to European c***.

A bottle of wine. Good wine preferably.

Hmm, you'd think that. But actually health insurance works here. It's nothing to brag about. I rarely hear people talking about it. At least not more than they talk about their households contents insurance. (I mean guns in the USA also aren't something exceptional... so you might have a point.)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Nah guns are more like dutch bicycles. Yes we all have several, but each is important and must be talked about

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I'm sure people who have good health insurance in the US don't see it as an issue. But what about all the others?

I severely doubt English degeneracy reflects anywhere else in Europe.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Haha. Good point. Universal healthcare then?

Yes. Unless it's done well.

A cheese wheel?

Water pistols. (Optionally modified to shoot liquid nitrogen)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

While it sounds badass "shooting" liquid nitrogen is in fact quite useless. Source: i had liquid nitrogen poured over my hands at room temp. It just feels like cold water as it quickly evaporates before actually touching it.

See video for example and when it acts different.

It's not meant to cause too much damage. If I wanted that I'd attach a match to the front and shoot fuel instead but that sounds even less legal.
