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.

It's being a cry bully to point out that it's physically unlikely they lost any appreciable amount of weight in a week? Or do they just have a basic understanding of how the human body works and not want to play along with an unrealistic masturbatory 'America bad' fairy tale?
I'm all for believing BS stories on the Internet, but don't get your panties in a wad when people point out parts that are entirely unrealistic. And I say that as someone who actually lost a large amount of weight in a comparatively short time.
It took months and it was still fast enough that those around me were worried for my health. There's no way they lost anything meaningful in a week, especially when losing a large amount of water weight upfront and hitting an initial plateau is a known thing in the weight loss community.
hey, im not one to shoot down allies in an online argument, but last thing i wanna do is look like i'm defending the USA. america DOES suck. its lifestyle is horrible and there are minimal opportunities for adequate exercise or proper nutrition compared to japan. the point i'm making is that someone's one-week vacation not going to reveal meaningful conclusions about those lifestyle differences. really I'm just defending basic research/statistical competency by calling out a stupid irrelevant comment that was probably just intended to shout out someone's vacation online than to contribute to any discussion on cultural differences between nations
