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.

As someone who has used 4 chan but never spent any considerable time there, what's the difference? When is the text green?

Greentext involves using the > sign to indicate or imply actions, thoughts, states of being, etc. Often used to tell a narrative.

Don't worry, it was fake and gay, and just an example.

Can't believe they'd sell gay eggs

People seem to be upvoting and enjoying the discussion on this one, so I think we can let it slide this time.
