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 miss when people were ashamed of being stupid, now they feel proud about it.

The thing is, in their eyes they aren't stupid.

They think they have this secret piece of information, and everyone else is stupid for not knowing or understanding it.

But it is kind of narcissistic to think you found this extra information, which the people who have spend their entire lives researching the topic somehow have missed.

Like, I know people who claim the sea levels aren't going to rise because ice melting doesn't increase the water level. And claim all the scientists are wrong about climate change. When in reality the sea levels will rise because warm water expands.

It's often that they think those people know but aren't telling the truth. Then more and more people start agreeing. So they're not the one person who figured it out, it's a revolution!
