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.

Did your girlfriend come to her senses, and realize how great those plates are?

[–] huppakee@feddit.nl 8 points 4 days ago

Obv its because he chose the plates and not the girlfriend

[–] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Can it bee?

[–] FlihpFlorp@piefed.zip 10 points 4 days ago

Dear god it them

The myth, the legend, the plate

Make a terrible person leave you alone in this one easy step

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 39 points 5 days ago (4 children)

She didn't communicate her needs well enough.

Honestly, the Bee plates showing up is more her fault than his.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 59 points 5 days ago

Lack of communication is one thing, losing your shit like this because of it is another. ...but that's two things now, so...

[–] Tenniswaffles@lemmy.blahaj.zone 39 points 5 days ago (19 children)

Didn't communicate her needs? What more communication do you need beyond "get fancy dinner plates"? How do you fuck that up? If you're unsure, communicate your need for further information, or google fancy dinner plates.

Dang, sounds like those plates are perfectly age appropriate for your gf

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 45 points 5 days ago (4 children)

I like how it has an attached dipping plate. Not doubt for ketchup to dip dinosaurs nuts in

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 11 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Dinosaur... nuts? Never heard of 'em

[–] Wolf@lemmy.today 6 points 4 days ago

Come over to my place sometime.

[–] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 4 days ago

I'm dyin' to soar these nuts across your face

(I think that works, right? Barely?)

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

those are to give the kid different types of food in correct quantities

source : am dad, even have the cutlery that fits this set.

Dino Nuggies are for kids, adults eat tendies.

I'd be fucking delighted if my wife brought home these plates.

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 56 points 5 days ago (1 children)

If you are somewhat tight for cash or shopping for another person some conflict stemming from this is completely reasonable.

[–] Lauchmelder@feddit.org 44 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Then again I find it weird to give someone money and then say "Buy some plates" without any further details or supervision. Of course anon could have, yknow, asked if the plates are okay before ordering

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 59 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (3 children)

A greentext story is like a dream. You're following the narrative, while simultaneously thinking that this makes no sense and how did things get here.

"buy fancy dinner plates" is enough details

Fake: anon has gf

Gay: anon buys colourful kitchenware and posts about it online in order to start a discussion

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 days ago

They're adorable, though. That part is true.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 43 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Break up with gf and marry the plates

[–] EldenLord@lemmy.world 33 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Woah, we‘re not on r/relationshipadvice here!

[–] Gustephan@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Clearly. If we were he'd be advised to hit facebook, delete the lawyer, and hire a gym too

Are you kidding me?! There isn't a single person I know who wouldn't at least appreciate those plates enough to chuckle! Those are awesome plates, I'd use those plates even for formal events, the only people who'd be upset by them are stuck-up assholes!

[–] licheas@sh.itjust.works 21 points 5 days ago (2 children)

and teenagers insisting they're no longer kids. (same fight as "kids table" stuff. To be honest, when I became an adult, the kids table was always more fun anyhow. Dinosaurs are way more interesting topics of conversation than adult-stuff.)

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

100% same. I'm the built-in babysitter for family events. Why would I want to hear my aunt ask for the 500th time why I'm not married, when my nephews and nieces are playing out a story where Bluey and Sonic the Hedgehog team up to fight crime? Screw boring grown-up talk, I want the imaginative adventure.

[–] latenightnoir@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

I 100% believe the moment we try to pretend we aren't children anymore is the moment we deny a huge chunk of what makes us human.

Not to mention a HUGE mistake logistically speaking, because it also means that we wouldn't be working with the actual data. We don't lose who we've been, it constantly gets incorporated into who we're becoming. Those kids we used to be are still there, alive and well (and probably sobbing in a corner for a friggin' crumb of honest, carefree enjoyment of, like, anything!) and all we do is to try to bury them deeper and deeper, until we can't hear those sobs anymore. But those sobs just get worse, until they... stop. After a loong, long time, they stop - killed where nobody else could hear it.

And if all of that sounds insane, it's because it is. That's my point.

Wow that's really judgemental, maybe accept that other people don't share your taste?

People on the internet 100% believe these stories and will fight you over it.

Could've been interpreted as he wants kids but anyway.

[–] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 21 points 5 days ago

Can confirm, these are awesome plates. They were my daughter’s favorites.
