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.

I can't imagine growing up with social media. Probably not good for development.

And honestly, I was a full on adult when covid hit and I regressed. It’s got to have been awful for kids

i grew up during the wild internet days

saw one man one jar, two girls one cup, smile HD, happy tree friends, and incredibly graphic gore when i was at the ripe old age of 12

considering the circumstances i think i turned out fine, well, as fine as a person with empathy can be in this hellscape

Yes, but that was still before social media. As weird as it sounds, social media is probably more damaging than the early oughts shock sites

trueee, the closest i got to social media back then was a forum for a game i liked with less than 50 regular members
