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.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Pretty sure Chinese people generally have these, too. So that's already 17% of the world's population covered.
Anon thinks it's still 1950?
Edit:
So because I'm bored, here's some numbers:
People with access to "safely managed sanitation" (not shared with other people, though most statistics I've seen lump in pit latrines with toilets as we know it): 58% of world population https://data.unicef.org/topic/water-and-sanitation/sanitation/
Uncircumcised men: 62% of world population https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevalence_of_circumcision
meat consumption: Most of the world has a meat consumption comparable to rich western nations now, except for much of Africa, MENA region, India, South-East Asia and a couple of poorer countries in South- and Middle America. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/meat-consumption-by-country (and countries that don't eat as much meat have a lot of overlap with countries that widely practice circumcision and have lacking accesss to sanitation).
vegetarianism, veganism: apparently about 8% of the world population wouldn't eat any meat even if they had access to it, most of them in India https://www.torrinomedica.it/english/vegetarians/how-many-vegans-and-vegetarians-in-the-world/
A question mark is how many people would "seethe" at anon eating specifically fried bacon, specifically for breakfast - even in Europe, some people are too poor to eat meat for more than one meal per day, or even one meal every day, and some people who aren't already vegetarian or vegan would disapprove because of health reasons. The latter category seems extremely hard to quantify.
In short: People who would go "what, like it's hard?" at anon's list include most people in South America and Mexico, the non-muslim population of Europe (94% of Europe's total population) which is 8.4% of the world population, China, Japan. That's about 30% of the world where it's much more likely than not that someone can shower, use a toilet, eat pork most days and, if male, is uncircumcised.
Ayyy, That's my birth country!
I was so shocked when I heard of the idea of circumcision
wtf religion?
Real reason why yanks are so angry all the time.
It's not even just religion, the US is crazy about it, too. There is some religious influence there, too (in the "no one should feel sexual pleasure" sense), but it's mostly cultural. Also, the UN is promoting it in subsaharan Africa as an anti-HIV measure which at least has more merit than most other reasons, though sounds still kinda sketchy IMO.
