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.

Is there actually any evidence that shows this sort of thing is valuable to make kids do in the middle of a school day? PE always just seemed degrading to me, and I'm not even that out of shape.

PE is fucking useless and is the number 1 reason most people don't do any sport at all after high school.

I figured it not having anything to do with employment and being an expensive hobby that requires groups of people to sync their free time was why adults don't do sports as a hobby. People can barely make D&D sessions work and that's just sitting around a table.

A lot of sports can be done solo. Running, swimming, bouldering...

Yeah, but that's not really what we're talking about. How many sports in school gym classes are Solo sports? How many people going to the YMCA to go swimming or jogging in the park consider that a "sport"?
