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.

Do Americans even know how to ride a bicycle?

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but they don’t know how to change gears.

[–] Entropywins@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Gears!!! This thing has gears?

Inexperienced, but possible. If only bikes worked the same way as America's best anti-theft measure: a car with manual transmission.

Can confirm. Left my 1986 SAAB 900 SPG unlocked for a decade in a couple major cities downtown areas. The only thing anyone ever took was some of my quarters. They also never broke the window to get in, and then realize it was a manual. Didn't even take the radio, as I did take the faceplate inside with me

They just don't know how to start it.
