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.

Yeah, but users on reddit don't read sources, and that gets people frustrated and bored. Especially on /science or /askscience. Those subs are shitholes.
God I fucking hated ask science. It was a giant feed of garbage pseudoscience that was almost nothing but "NEW CURE FOR CANCER" or "WEED IS AWESOME". Almost every single post and article was bull, or had extremely poor research. I remember seeing some sexist claim and it turns out the study only had 4 male and 4 female participants. The researchers acted as though the claim, and evidence, were definitive, so it was posted everywhere because of the headline.
This is why we can't have nice things
I agree but would like to point out that I have not seen higher quality content on the science-oriented sites on lemmy either.
