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.

Every script kiddie after a single class in uni knows how to make one. That's why reddit had so many annoying bots that did fuckall but tried to be funny.
Like that stupid reminder bot.
Jokes one everyone; it doesn’t work anymore. What happy day that was.
Reminder bot at least had a purpose and had to be manually triggered by someone to act. I'm talking about the annoying ones, like the spelling bot, it just scraped as much as it could, looked for common spelling errors and corrected people. Good thing bots were getting banned left and right. People aren't original. When on /freefolk the Bobby bot got successful via a meme, there were like 10 other copycats the next week, made by people who didn't know that nobody called the character "bobby" unless they wanted to invoke it. So then, a bot would pop up for writing Tyrion, Cersei, Tywin, etc, which were used always, since it was a fandom subreddit.
I liked the spelling bots. You can always just spell "you're" correctly. Or never use it and just use "you are" every time you can.
Okay, whatever, you liked them. The reality of it was - it was a spammy bot that wasn't useful, funny or neccessary.
Yes, the stupid reminder bot where all you had was RemindMe! In the comments multiple times adding nothing to the conversation.
It’s as annoying as “bump” in forums back in the day.
I actually liked it
