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.

Adding beverages is wasting money anyway, just drink water

REMEMBER THE ONLY WAY TO BE FRUGAL IS TO NEVER DO ANYTHING THAT BRINGS YOU PLEASURE, OR EAT ANYTHING BUT BEANS/RICE AND DRINK ONLY WATER.

This is what people who say shit like that sound to folks who know that life is not meant to just be survived, but enjoyed.

Tbh, most beverages you get at stores have way to much sugar for my taste. But the quality of tap water also varies wildly around the world. I wouldn't drink it as much if I lived in a place where it was chlorinated.

Yes, but I generally drink from the tap.

Was a reference to the movie Idiocracy, where they only used Gaterade to water their plants, because they crave electrolytes and water is just the stuff from the toilet.

It's been too long since I watched that.

That shit's got electrolytes.

If you live in a place with good water it's both healthy and tasty
