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.

Yeah, I noticed in my late 20s that the world has changed from my childhood. All my childhood sports heroes have retired. New music genres have replaced what I heard on the radio. A lot of my old haunts are still there, but some have been knocked down and replaced. It's an... unsettling feeling when you realize the ground is moving beneath your feet. The best thing you can do is to keep moving yourself (figuratively, not literally). Explore new places, make new hobbies. Fill up your time with new experiences and you won't have as much of a sense of loss.
But all the new stuff is enshittified by capitalism so it's not as enjoyable as the old stuff.
Nah, it's always been shitty, the internet just let us know about it. It's more like, we had a brief window of lot of information and people having hope.
No, products and services are actually way worse these days. More expensive and riddled with micro-transactions trying to nickle and dime you every way they can.
