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 think ancient evil very much does exist. But it's the same as modern evil. I figure it must exist, and it's the presence of this evil that has caused such a fucked up society to emerge.
In other words, this is not the golden age of mankind; quite the opposite I'm afraid... ๐
It's almost like modern United States were built on an ancient Indian burial ground...
Oof.
And from the ashes of Roman imperialism, no less. And, by the way, that is the only thing imperialism brings - ashes...
Some of the ruins are pretty neat too. But back then their architecture had style. The ruins of todays concrete and steal cubes are going to be lame.
TIL big box stores = steal cubes. Nice.
Guess that was a freudian missspelling
Idk, subways would be pretty cool to explore, especially the fancy stations in places like Seoul where there are tons of shops and stuff.
Literally. The Mayflower settlers moved into a town that had recently been wiped out by disease. People were still mourning in nearby communities when they just walzed in.
I think that's likely to happen. Once the Internet and digital media is gone the information age will become an information dark age to historians.
Depending on what happens it's entirely possible for future cultures to actively avoid another industrial revolution like ours was.
people on lemmy are so pessimistic (how tf you spell that??)
Evil - a human competitive thing where we as individuals or as groups of people strive to out-evil all previous attempts at extreme-evil.
It's something that has been flourishing forever, we keep finding new heights.
We've been created for this and are really good at it.
