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.

Really benign obvious thoughts don't spur engagement. The fringe political viewpoints cause comments and shares and therefor will always look like the only things people are talking about when your method of interacting with content is molded by an algorithm designed to increase engagement to support advertising revenue.

Sounds tin foil hat, but it's actually by design as none of these companies are even remotely non-profit.
