Yeah, and it's expensive because it's ...well, expensive. It's not any less abundant than some other metals or more difficult to extract. We just decided it's gonna be expensive

I mean, we didn't just arbitrarily decide that gold would be expensive, we decided it would be expensive because it's pretty. It seemed like a good idea a few thousand years ago.

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.
