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 can’t think of anything more 2024 than openly talking about having sexual intercourse with household objects but censoring the word “retard”.

Awww

They went from 'toasters' to 'a toaster'. OP stopped slutting it up and found the toaster for them. How wholesome

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 53 points 2 years ago (4 children)

It was definitely there before the internet, too. You just couldn't easily connect with other toaster fuckers.

[–] Entropywins@kbin.social 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No you couldn't...I connected with em perfectly fine

[–] Spaghetti_Hitchens@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago

You must be a toaster

Being unable to find a group of enablers to reinforce each other's insanity is a good thing.

Having to have actual, real life humans as your social circle helps in actually socializing people. Like kittens who need other cats around to learn how to properly cat themselves. Without it they develop social issues or worse.

[–] psud@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago

Sure, but it was internet that made these tiny scattered groups into large findable ones

Before the internet you would need to live near a proud and loud toaster fucker to find a group

Old furries in tech are in tech because they learnt and used early computer networks to connect with other furries

I had one of their cassettes back in the day! If i recall correctly, the last track on the album was called "T Time".

That has to be at least a quarter of the entire Warhammer 40k community.

fuck up your life

You see, the thing about that is you always hear about the guy who jerks off to r/dragonsfuckingcars and then does a mass shooting, but you never hear about the guy who goes to work in the morning, does an adequate job, comes home, jerks off to r/dragonsfuckingcars and then goes peacefully to sleep

A metaphor for Alex Jones and his acolytes

[–] Sprawlie@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

and so many others online. there are so many very tight and close echo chambers, where people outright invent a new reality for themselves, and get angry, antagonistic towards actual reality

See: AntiVaxxers, NeoNazi's, and Flat Earthers.

at least before social media these nutbars stayed isolated and alone and couldn't get together and recruit / spread their messages easily.

Oh no, was After Dark a gateway drug?

I hate the censorship

[–] jqubed@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Is he talking literally about toasters or using it as a slang for robots/androids?

[–] 13esq@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's an allegory for any "extremely niche" interest that would have been considered super weird before these people could easily find eachother, although OP probably had furries and people like that in mind.

[–] summerof69@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago (4 children)

It's 4chan. The dude literally wants to fuck toasters.

Yeah, I've mostly heard this mentioned in reference to really obscure fetishes that you'd probably never have a chance to indulge in if it weren't for the internet.

[–] suction@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

I’ll take this one: It’s toasters
