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.

Journals that detail daily activities like "woke up at x, had cereal for breakfast, played game for several hours, went to work, got home at x, had for dinner, went to bed at x" of the average person are still extremely important to future historians. Imagine 200 years from now a teacher telling his class "And we know from paddirn's daily journaling that the world in the 2000s was not as chaotic for the average person as traditional media would have us believe."
Instead of "Dear diary," it's "dear future historians"
"In the year 2023, people still actually used toilet paper to wipe their butts, and then went on to shake each other's hands and eat food with the same hands. It's almost barbaric what people did before we moved to using three seashells."
More reliable than green text, that's for sure
