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.

I'm a little offended that this utterly skips over software, as if a CPU would do anything without the component that was invented before any CPU.

Software without a CPU is still useful. The reverse is not true.

Isn't software the "trick rock into thinking" part?

Software is a list of instructions, you can execute it with pen and paper or just using your brain if you want.
