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.

It might be because ancient peoples weren't stupid, but just less knowledgeable about how things work than the average, modern adult. There were likely very curious individuals who wanted to improve something they already had or try something completely different for the sake of trying. Didn't you ever try mixing random food ingredients as a kid to see if it tastes good?

I see you have not met the average modern adult.

Actually, you're right, wtf was I thinking. Bread was clearly alien tech.
