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.

The OP kinda used bad faith arguments, so everyone is pointing out ways that humans excel. They have a good point however. Humans are not superior. We are not the best species. Just about every animal, insect, or parasite can kill us or seriously harm us. Our bodies are not resilient, and have about a thousand built in flaws. Our 'intelligence' just creates new dangers that kill us.
Humans are great in many ways, but we do not sit at the top of everything. We are great at what we do and that's it.
Edit: A lot of people aren't too happy with me talking about the human race in the light I did. The point of the comment was not to say humans are trash and weak. It's to say that we excel at many things, but we are still way behind other animals in many other ways. There is no one species that is the best. They all excel in many different and special ways. We aren't the best species.
Right now, I have an infection that I'm toughing out without antibiotics. It's going away. I tanked a cat playing rough, my palms under some angles can downright stop a scratch. I drank 5 shots of rakija. I have been burned, stabbed, electrocuted, what more do you want?!?
Christ, that cat was playing rough! :o
The cat in the hat does not hold back
Damn cat, never getting a cat from planet Vegeta again!
Don't bother with Space Australia either.
To be more specific, I pushed a nail into a socket as a kid, and a few other instances I got electrocuted. I got stabbed with a pencil right through the mole on my back by my sister, I set a box on fire at work, and put it out with my hand.
I ran into this metal pipe that serves as a shutter, I don't know what it's called, and the impact bent the pipe. I walked it off and continued working.
