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.

Turns out they will eat ticks in a study that only fed them ticks.

And they don't even have proof that they ate those ticks- odds are the ticks were all embedded in their skin lol
