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.

I find it interesting that we answer to the green texts like if we were on 4chan. When there are very few chances tha OP reads the actual messages
Yeah, people know this obviously. They just say it so other people can then comment on their comment and keep the convo going. Otherwise what's the point of the comments
When I post on Lemmy/Reddit/etc, it's usually not to the OP, but for everyone else reading the same post later.
So if I'm saying something like, "if you're struggling to pay for a $10 pizza, you could use the charity," it's not really for the OP, but for anyone in a similar situation who happens across the post, whether now or a year from now. Having a pocketful of change isn't a "normal" thing for someone who is financially stable, and if that's you (i.e. the point where a quarter matters), then you should accept the charity.
Even a greentext has a sliver of truth to it, and I'm interested in discussing that truth that may apply to others.
What else is the point of posting something if not to get comments from the place you post it?
It's like telling a joke to your friends. "Why would you do that? You already know the punchline?"
The question posted by Anon is the topic of this comment thread, and while it's perfectly reasonable to comment on it being posted on 4chan, it's also reasonable to comment on whatever it's about to have a conversation about it.
I was not being cynical or pedantic. I really find interesting the fact that especially with green texts, we are addressing our comments directly to the OP, myself included. I donβt recall seeing this behaviour elsewhere.
Sorry if I was being rude or something by noting it
It's like when you shout at the TV. You obviously know the person on the other side isn't going to hear you, but you do it anyway.
I think it happens everywhere. Remember the gold/white dress? I don't even know where the original post was from, but the entire internet were having that conversation.
There was someone who mentioned that they like anon's profile picture on another post.
It was the attached pic
Boomerization of millennials. It's tough to watch.
How do people not understand the idea of having a hypothetical discussion of what the funny/ correct way to deal with an inherently unique or silly circumstance?
Like genuinely are people this dumb that that don't understand something this basic?
NEVER!
god, you're like one of those people who tell me not to clap at movies
This got a genuine lol out of me. I'm imagining the patient explanation, "See, the actors can't hear you..."
Oh God you probably also going to clap the airline pilot.

The real OP was inside us all along.
Sometimes Anon says or does something so ridiculous that we just have to respond to it out of sheer frustration or disbelief.
