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.

I dunno, I think they're kinda ... neat, I guess? Like, yeah, they're technically pretty ugly, but somehow in a way that makes them interesting.

Trying....and failing, to think of a good portmanteau of interesting and ugly.

Edit: intugly? Ugteresting?

“Striking” is usually the word. It can be used for bad looks as well as good.

Well, as with all my attempts to shine...this has crashed and burned. And not even gloriously....

Hey, there’s no reason to not come up with new words. You could bring the world the next ‘yeet’ or ‘bussy’.

Just imagine the possibilities!

Naw...my heart's not in it any more....

I actually just tried looking that up, to see if such a word actually exists in English. I found a stack exchange thread asking this same question but no one had a suitable answer. So, yeah, I guess it's up to you to contribute to society by inventing and popularizing this new word. Enjoy your new destiny.

That would make the cybertruck a brutalist car.

I guess this is technically the opposite of what you are trying to convey, but your comment reminded me of a song I haven’t thought about in a decade
