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.

Do you see people behind smartphones they're holding??

The phone thing is so ridiculous. Stay at home and watch someone else's video at that point. The compulsion to document everything that happens to yourself is something I just don't get.

Idk, it was a thing in the early 2000s as well. I remember my friends sharing flip-phone quality videos with me of concerts they went to, so sharing experiences via digital recording isn't anything new.

I also think it's dumb, but it's not particularly new.

Oh Jesus Christ if I have to ever see someone’s fireworks pics ever again please use this pillow to suffocate me. Also individuals’ moon shots. Just please no.

Phones should capture memories, and they should be shared with those who have the same memories. If I want to watch a video of fireworks or nature, there are so many higher quality options available.

Thats a really good point about sharing them with people who were part of them.
