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:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

"newfriend" is the word filter πŸ˜‚

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe people just started typing it that way instead to begin with, you can't know

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I've been on the site since 2004, I absolutely know πŸ˜‚

What a bunch of horseshit. What's it meant to be?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Replace "friend" with the worst F-word you can imagine.

how to find authentic green texts on 4chan?

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 months ago

That’s the great part, you don’t

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Here's the fun thing about greentexts: you can in theory write them on any other platform.

> gets politician called as evil stalinist by other
> looks inside
> the mildest form of social democracy imaginable

Also other platforms, such as Lemmy are often better than 4chan.

I mean, it won't be written by anon, but why not

Step 1. Give up your sanity

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I thought 4chan was the kind of place where if you ever had sanity at any point in your life you are already at a disadvantage?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Check out the regular occurring generals and threads that ask specifically for people's stories. GreenTexts outside of that are shunned because they don't want the board spammed by blogposting.

A lot of the posts are shit unless you share the hobby. You will be sifting through so much shit to find something mildly entertaining. I would not recommend.

Browse /b/ or /int/ long enough

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I can't tell if you're joking, malicious, stupid or sincere.

Take my sage.

What does that mean?

webms that make you want to say "cool"

capchas are so real. Those things suck

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

4chan's captchas are some of the hardest I've ever seen, it's not enough that it's hard to tell what the fuck it's written but having to align the text beforehand is just evil.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's why everyone is using browser addons or mobile apps that solve it for you. It's not very resilient against computers solving them, it seems.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

A captcha that is easier for a computer to solve than a person seems rarher counterproductive...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's a shitshow. Nothing but bad changes to that site for years now

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

To be fair 4chan can be blamed for many things but not for the fact that we now have bots that are really good at solving captchas.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Somehow it never occured to me to look for captcha solvers, got to try that next time I visit the site, although I doubt it'll work very well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

The phone app I use gets it right 10/10. The browser extension, I don't remember which I used was 8/10 or so iirc

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

4chan is a sea of garbage.

greentext communities are held up by the patient people trudging through shit, who post the rare pearl or two you rarely find there.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

a few times they jokingly banned porn on /b/ for 24 hours or so, and it was absolutely epic. the content was so good. old users coming back and having a laugh. just like the golden days of /b/

they should do this again

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

/b/ is just nasty now. Even the YLYL threads are just awful stuff scooped from the bottom of /pol/.

There are few sometimes decent boards, especially if you can find decent reoccurring general threads with regulars in them.

/tv/ should just be renamed Prometheus though. It's incredible how much that one movie has broken that place.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

>be me

>go on /tv/

>see post about prometheus

op was not fake (possibly gay)

the internet : a slot machine for things that make you smile a bit.

payout rate : 1 laugh per 100 minutes

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Aww fuck, I just wasted my laugh on this comment... The next hour or so is gonna suck

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

it's on average. also, 100 minutes is not 1 hour, it's 1 hour 40mins.

Get extra rekt.

PS : 100 mins is one metric hour, but we're not on metric time

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"The next hour or so" both accounts for the variance and is more concise than saying "the next hour and forty minutes, give or take"

But now I want metric time, that sounds nice actually.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

But now I want metric time, that sounds nice actually.

Not that nice, 10 is only divisible by 2 and 5 while 12 is divisible by 2, 3, 4 and 6 and 60 is also divisible by 5, 10 and 12 so there are actually some good reasons to keep time the way it is.
