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.

Great! It means you have more time to enjoy the beauty of nature!

Wait, it's Australia.

I know it's a running joke that Australian wildlife is so deadly, but genuinely, in my day-to-day, I almost never think about it.

Except for a couple of months in Spring. When riding my bike becomes a game of Russian roulette with whether or not I'm going to be swooped by magpies.

Ha. Looks like YouTube is telling me I've seen this before.

I recall having seen it before, but my recollection was of a man. Might be thinking of a different video. (I think he also tried taking the helmet off, and that worked.)

Also, by the gods that helmet was absolutely useless. There's a zero percent chance of it staying on in the event of a crash, as loose as it was.

Yeah there's a few, I had to look through some other ones but to me this is the classic one haha. There's also one with a 10 year old screaming his head off while escaping on his scooter >.<

Thank you, I'm one of the lucky 10 000
