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.

but I wouldn’t say there’s suffering.

I've done intermittent fasting and it doesn't feel amazing.

With IM I don't really get to that energetic sweet spot.

It's more like 24h+ into the fast than in the 16-20 range.

That's when you're still somewhat hungry.

Cooking after some 30 hours of fasting is amazing. Everything smells fucking amazing and makes you salivate. People go in for healthy diets usually I think but I just feast.

One time made this amazing deer bolognese sauce, simmered it for ages. Spaghetti, fresh parmeesian (hehe) and a salad of nice fresh tomatoes and some other goodies. A nice beer on top of that.

Mmmm-mmmm-mmm.

Got to do that at home though, since usually that slaps the digestive tract awake and I have to run to the bathroom.
