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.

Why would you seek somebody’s advice if you’re not willing to take it? Sure, I get the idea of wanting to be validated, but you also have to accept being told what you’re doing is wrong.
This reads as satire to me I think
No, it's real. It's a greentext. It's real ಠ_ಠ
Yes, would you listen to this Jerkface? They speak the truth!
It's still real to me, dammit!
I’m going to steal your hover car battery
It is very obviously satire of the fat acceptance movement.
They just inverted the genders and kept the rest of the analogy and lingo as similar as possible.
Does.... Does anon not believe there's such a thing as fat men?
Nobody says all men's bodies are beautiful, healthy, sexy, desirable, ect. Lol, they would immediately and rightfully be told to stfu.
Yes this is satire but unfortunately people like this do exist. As for the why, they are seeking validation
I've stopped giving my father advice on computers or electronics because he has never yet followed any of it.
He gets really upset that I won't spend time researching things to give him advice to ignore, so presumably he gets something out of it but I'm not sure what.
Theory: your father just wants to spend time with you, technology being common topic
time invested is his love language, time intentionally poorly invested must be love if its not annoying.
Well, it's just a fabricated story, so it doesn't need to make sense. The real author may be plus sized and the doctor's advice may be real, too, but I think there's a simpler explanation than excess amounts of steroids.
This story may be fabricated, but the idea of the story is very real.
People are dumb as hell. Between working retail and working first line IT support, I cannot tell you how many times I've had someone ask me a question and then immediately disregard the advice. I got to just expect idiocy when I was asked a technical question at work.
Thankfully I'm in a much better gig where people value my opinion.
Because listening to someone is submission
The difference between advice and a command is u can choose to ignore advice.
You can choose to ignore commands too. And just as with ignoring advice, there will be consequences, but you always have the choice.
The consequences of ignoring advice are at ones own hand tho.
