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.

Edit. I understand now, thanks.


What is a second cousin? Your cousins cousin? The person your aunt/uncle marrieds niece/nephew? That can't be right, that's not blood. Help! Lol

I find this chart helpful to see family relationships.

Then its not even an issue at all from a genetic standpoint. People might find their relationship weird but their children would turn out healthy.

Where do we draw the line when a cousin becomes acceptable? I want a clear number

[–] gigachad 14 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The number of your cousins divided by two plus seven is what I heard

There is no line. Nothing is true, everything is permitted.

And the points don't matter.

As always it depends on how hot they are. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Meanwhile the Chinese need a calculator to find out what to call their father's sister's daughter's husband's father

And Koreans. I don't know much about Chinese, but in Korea it also matters whether you're a boy or girl in what you call your relation.
