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.

"Hmm yes let me talk about a very illegal schedule I on an app that has access to my exact device location 24/7"

Most intelligent greentexter

To be fair. Joking about committing a crime is not illegal.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Pretty sure it doesn’t have to be illegal for the cops to turn your life inside out.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Absolutely, but i would call that the problematic behavior rather than the student committing a edgy joke.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean, it seems like reasonable enough suspicion for a search warrant.

A wellfare check by a social worker maybe. Can be at school if they fear the home to be dangerous.

Combined with some extra patrol in the street because they HAVE to take things seriously.

The potential damage such a raid can do (shoot your pet, ptsd) cannot be worth such reckless behavior.

On a side note, i actually expect this post is fake.

Yeah, it’s a green text of course it’s fake.

Or your lungs.

And the signs at aiports saying joking about bombs is illegal ? I can ignore them and crack on with my comedy bomb routine ?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

In that context the specific act of joking is a crime because it can cause huge panic to happen.

I would expand by saying that a joke about a realistic and immediate threat is not a joke at all and requires serious response to guarantee the safety of others.

A student advertising ok social media that they are looking for volunteers in a meth schoolproject is not a direct threat to others. Neither is it a believable scenario.

yup, you can never "boy who cried wolf" yourself about possible and realistic emergency situations. Sure it sounds like a joke - but it either:

is, nobody does anything, and nothing happens

is, gets taken seriously, and some time and resources are wasted

or

isn't, gets taken seriously, and a disaster is avoided

isn't, nobody does anything, and people end up dead or injured

a small waste of time and resources is always a better outcome than possible death and injury

there's a difference, one is causing fear and panic.

Same as running into a movie theater and screaming fire.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Very much depending on where you are. Pretending to commit or to have committed a felony (idk the minutiae of translations; Straftat in German) is one in itself over here. Fake it and instantly make it, yay!

Anyone could have created the account for the joke. Police shouldn't take social media accounts seriously

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is why I first spoof my location to your house.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Might as well spoof it to the police station.

Desoxyn is schedule II though. Still shouldn’t talk about manufacturing schedule II drugs illegally.
